My stay at Candace’s place came at the end of a cross country drive, with my dog and cat. It was a welcome oasis, within a short walk from the water. West Seattle is a charming area and this home was exactly what I needed. It is no small thing to travel with pets and after a string of interstate hotels, we were able to relax and spread out a bit. I particularly enjoyed cooking and dining in the kitchen, sitting out on the back patio and sleeping soundly on a comfortable queen. I did laundry (which was a relief) while kicking back in one of the living room’s luxe recliners. It really felt like home.
Candace is a friendly and welcoming communicator and her enthusiasm for West Seattle was appreciated. It’s a hospitable area, with very good coffee (Olympia Coffee Roasting was my absolute favorite) and restaurants. Most of all, the area’s coastal walks (with views of the Seattle’s skyline and the Olympic mountains) are unbeatable.
