Mello Yellow is wonderfully situated close to the Burke Gilman trail, Metropolitan Market and many restaurants with easy access to UW campus and U village. Nice to have off street parking, a kitchen to cook in and a place to relax together.

The house is clean and in a great location. It could use some maintenance, but is fine.

We were here to visit family. Having a house like this made the trip so enjoyable. We could eat breakfast and make lunches and have a great base from which to do all our activities. Being next to the trail was great to take advantage of for exercise. Being down the street from several grocery stores was so helpful. It was a comfortable enjoyable place.
