First, the location is awesome for enjoying West Seattle. If you are planning to go into downtown a bunch, the bridge being down is a hindrance. But, West Seattle has a lot to offer. The place itself is thoughtfully designed, from the private patio to the softly closing barn-style shower door, and the carefully arranged well-stocked kitchen. It is new and bright with small details you will continue to notice during your stay. The mattress was firm and very comfortable. The street parking was easy on a summer week day. The hosts were easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this cottage to people who want a quiet retreat to enjoy in the city.
