Before we even set foot inside this ridiculously amazing property, Marian went out of her way to make us feel at home. She was kind, responsive and generous. Once we arrived, we found the studio in excellent condition. My wife and I are both relatively obsessive when it comes to cleanliness, but this place was SPOTLESS. The bath robes are a nice touch, and the basket full of local attractions and restaurants was perfect! We ate at a restaurant she recommended (Matador!) and we loved everything about it. We chose to skip the wine she left for us because we brought our own along. However, the two bottles of local wine she made available were excellent and we would have loved either the red or white she left.
The location is amazing, the view is worth every penny and more, and I think the shower in the studio is roughly the same size as my first apartment. The radiant heat floors are to die for, and I'm pretty sure I could live the rest of my life in the chairs on the patio in front of the studio listening to the waves crash gently onto Alki beach below. Thank you for everything, Marian. We loved everything about our experience. You are truly a blessing.
