This was a great place to stay, and definitely gave us an opportunity to explore a part of Seattle we might not have gotten to if we had stayed somewhere downtown. The beach was very close, maybe a ten minute walk, and very pleasant. The basement suite itself was very clean, comfortable, and private, and had all the amenities we could think to need. The views of the water, even just from the small basement window in the suite, were an amazing bonus. We really enjoyed our stay!
