Places like these are what make Airbnb so great! This one pretty much has everything you would want—great communication, easy check-in, clean space, high-quality finishes and furnishings, and access to a gem in Seattle I didn’t even know existed before my stay, Alki Beach.
While there are no direct views of the water and mountains from the unit, guests are provided with access to a rooftop deck with amazing views, and best of all, you are literally one block away from the waterfront and a 15-minute walk from the beach.
The area has a lot of restaurants within walking distance. I enjoyed Alki Cafe for breakfast/brunch, Pepperdock for lunch (burgers and ice cream) and Cactus (Mexican) for dinner.
The space is newly constructed and provides several amenities, including labels on kitchen drawers and a wooden suitcase rack. You can hear their kids playing for short durations during normal hours, but otherwise it’s an extremely quiet environment. The kitchen area is a little tight, as the refrigerator won’t open completely and you need to be standing to the side to open the dishwasher and oven, but it didn’t pose any issues for me.
The street they live on is extremely steep, as are several of the surrounding streets, so it might not be ideal for really young kids, the elderly or people with mobility issues, but otherwise this place is near perfect!
