Nice place, clean building, great staff, and close to the U of W

My partner and I have lived here for several years now and WE LOVE IT! We live in a 1 bedroom 1 bath. The price is a little high, but that's what you get for living so close to the University of Washington. There are plenty of places to eat and shop. All of which are within walking distance. We drive a car but there are also buses all over the place if you need them. The rooms have huge windows and beautiful hardwood floors. There is original crown molding and base molding that really give you that classic feel. We painted the living room and bedroom and it really added some personality to it. The kitchens are a little out dated but I'm sure there perfect for some people. There isn't a dishwasher, which would make things a lot easier. But, we have learned to deal with it. The owners are doing some renovations to the building so maybe we will get a dishwasher. The bathrooms are quirky. There is some old school plumbing that takes a little while to get use to. But we like that old look so it works for us. There is a laundry facility on-site. It's $1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. It's a bit spendy but I looked into the nearest cleaning place a block away and it was $2.00 to was and $2.00 to dry. The staff is awesome. I renewed my lease a few months ago and Samantha, the property manager took time to go though the lease with me and explain everything that's going on with the upcoming building upgrades. The front desk guy is friendly and funny and I have never hand any issues with the maintenance staff. When I have had a problem with something in my apartment (ie clogged drain, light bulb, window, etc) it has always been fixed right away. It's true what some people said about the old manager, he was a major jerk. He was NOT good with people and full of crap. Pretty much the opposite of the current manager. But he has since left and improvements have been made. In terms of safety, I have never had any issues in the building. There are security cameras and a controlled entry system. During the day the office is open and there is some one from the staff in the lobby almost all day long. In terms of outside the building, I wouldn't go wandering around University Ave, surrounding alleys, and the campus after midnight... but that's obvious. The BIGGEST issue I have with the Wilsonian is the noise. You get a lot of noise coming from University Ave. Especially on Thursdays and Fridays. That seems to be the nights where the college students like to party. Also, because of the hardwood floors, you can hear the people above you pretty well. If they are having friends over and they go a little late, it can get a bit annoying. I have had to talk to the people above us a few times to ask them to keep the noise down. Despite the noise, we are very happy. Nice apartment. The building is clean and safe. There is a lobby area with couches and Wi-Fi. There is available parking and it's in a secured garage (but get on the list because it goes fast). And best of all, there is a Tully's coffee shop connected to the building!!! I'll include some pictures so you can see our apartment and the building. The one of the courtyard is a little old. The front of the building is being renovated. All in all this place ROCKS!
