Michael's place on Alki Beach was exactly what I needed to fully get into rest and relaxation mode. Initially I planned on staying in downtown Seattle but after some careful thought realized that the peaceful beach front scenery coupled with a bit of distance away from the hectic pace of downtown would be way more beneficial. This isn't to say that you are far from the fast pace action of the nightlife and excitement, in fact you are only 15 mins away in an Uber or other means of transportation, rather just that it wasn't my intended focus for my trip. In any event the communication was amazing, the place was perfect and any questions I had were answered in minutes. Top notch host I'd recommend to friends and family.
