My 12 year old son and I stayed in this lovely little cottage. It was exactly as pictured and very comfortable for our 6 day stay. It is a 15 minute drive from downtown Seattle (30 minutes if you try to get there in the morning commute) and very short drive to Alkai beach (5-7 minutes). There is even a nice little park within walking distance that has a skate park. I never met Kathleen in person, but it wasn't a necessity. She was always sure to reply to communications and made sure we had everything we needed. I would certainly stay here again. This was my first time using Airbnb and I was very impressed. Kathleen has set a high bar.
