We had a wonderful 3 nights/days at Marian's place! It is a very special place, with great views and comfortable living, dining, and sleeping areas. The proximity to Alki beach and shops/restaurants was perfect, and it is only a short drive to the Alaska Junction area of West Seattle. We rented both the house and the studio for our family who gathered to help us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The only downsides for us were the lack of an interior connection between the house and studio, and the lack of parking - especially for the studio. The walk up the path to the studio from the sidewalk, without a railing, is a little dicey for those not steady on their feet.
