Boy, I don't know if there is enough space to write the number of accolades I have for Michael's place! New, modern, stylish, comfortable, impeccably clean with a wonderful living room/dining area/kitchen on second main floor, two separate bedrooms and a bathroom with dual shower heads (hard to leave once you've entered haha) on the third floor so plenty of space and privacy. And the location? Wow. As you come down Admiral Way before turning into the alley that takes you to the property entrance you see Puget Sound sprawling before you. Michael says its 200 steps to the beach but that's only if you have short strides! You are literally right there by the beach with views of the Olympic Peninsula, downtown Seattle and even Mt. Baker in the north Cascades (on clear days) and many excellent eateries right nearby (Chupacabra for food and beer, Salty's for a nice dinner at a fair price and great view and Top Pot for coffee and pastries recommended). And as a 'launching point' for other activities you couldn't do better. Only 15-20 minutes to downtown Seattle and the ferry's to Bainbridge / Bremerton (depending on time of day and traffic), about 2 hours one way to Sunrise (6,000+ feet elevation) on Mt. Rainier and less than an hour to Snoqualmie Falls. We did them all and also Ballard, Fremont and Bothell. I give Michael's place a well deserved 5 stars across the board. When I come back to Seattle again I won't even bother looking, I'll just book with Michael again and know I'll be 100% satisfied.
