The description is just as Michael described. I know Alki can be a busy area during the day, so I was concerned about parking. I contacted Michael before booking, and he assured me there was plenty of street parking. When we arrived, there was a lot of parking, and most times, right out front. This was a very convenient area to stay while we visited friends that live in West Seattle, and were getting married on Vashon Island. Great spot to stay if you plan to visit the islands.
