I stayed at the cottage for 7 weeks. It's in a lovely, peaceful area that still has easy access to whatever you need. There are multiple grocery stores, a coin laundry, a pharmacy, restaurants, and of course, several coffee shops all within a 10-ish minute walk. There is also a bus stop literally less than a block away, which was really convenient for exploring other parts of Seattle. And it took only about 20-25 minutes to walk to Alki Beach! Eric was a very accommodating and communicative host who went over and above. I have a severe phobia of bugs, so he kindly came over multiple times to help me get rid of several moths that were in the cottage. The cottage itself was exactly as depicted. It was clean, well set up, and got tons of natural light. Also, for those looking to work during their stay, the wifi was strong enough for me to work remotely (including video calls) without issue.
