Location, location, location! We loved staying at Allyson's beach cottage and enjoyed our short stroll to the beach, Starbucks and Cactus (our favorite Alki restaurant). The street can busy with traffic especially in the summer (so you should expect some street noise in the living room and kitchen area) but we were able to easily park on the street or behind the house off the paved alley. The property shares a cute basement unit downstairs, but it was vacant so we had no problems. Although the property is simply furnished, we found the king bed to be comfortable and the little couch to be just enough seating for the two of us. We are looking forward to our next stay!
