The downstairs apartment was perfect for my two month stay (with my large dog) in West Seattle. Susan and Gene are the warmest and most generous hosts, making both me and my dog feel so comfortable and welcome. For a downstairs unit, the space gets lovely natural light, and the yard was perfect for my dog (and also doggy playtime with the neighbor dog, Winston). The unit is located in a great part of West Seattle, close to multiple businesses, restaurants, grocery stores, and Lincoln Park; it's also only a mile from Alaska Junction. Would 20/10 recommend for anyone looking for a great (dog-friendly) spot in West Seattle.
