We just finished up a four-day stay at Ben and Shauna's place. We are a couple from Portland who both grew up in West Seattle and were looking forward to a return to the old stomping grounds. This place was perfect for that with excellent access to the beaches of Alki and Lincoln Park. Make sure to visit the communities around Alki, Admiral, Fauntleroy and along California Avenue. There are many excellent shops, restaurants and pubs to visit--you never need to go into downtown Seattle. The highlight of our stay were the sunset and sunrise views of Puget Sound and the Olympics off our private deck. Ben and Shauna were very responsive which was wonderful--especially when we misplaced our key and needed to be let back into the rental. Their place is pretty much exactly as advertised.
