The neighborhood was nice, beautiful houses. You can see why residents of West Seattle love living there. The house sits on a busy street, but the living space is quite far away from the street so it's very quite and peaceful. It feels much more remote than it actually is. The view is amazing! The house is nicely decorated. The living area is very spacious. There are big windows looking out over Alki Beach and the sound to the Olympic Mountains and beautiful sunsets. It's a very short walk (5-10 minutes) to the beach and restaurants. You do have to take several steps down from the street to the front door. The host was very helpful and accomodating.
