Karen was a wonderful host- excellent communication at the time we booked as well as leading up to our arrival. She showed us around when we arrived and then left us to do our thing. The suite is exactly as posted - a little gem...very comfortable space with a very functional kitchen and roomy living space. The gas fireplaces added to the coziness. And such a fabulous location. A short walk down the stairs (175+ of them lol) and you’re at the beach. If you’ve never been to Alki, you need to make it a priority! A fun stretch of restaurants and shops along the water and such a relaxed vibe. And a perfect place to run. Love, love, LOVE it! There’s also a free shuttle that takes you to the water taxi or up to the Junction for some more shopping and eating options. We’ve made the trip the last two summers and plan to make it an annual trip...and we hope Karen’s suite will always be available for us!
