I stayed here with my husband and 4 month old for almost 2 weeks and we had a fantastic time. The host is very responsive and thoughtful. The unit looks exactly as pictured. The location, as all the reviews state, can’t be beat. You are feet from the walking path and beach and blocks from a great row of restaurants. The views are unbeatable. The checkin/out process was very straightforward and the rules and cleaning list at checkout were simple. The unit was very clean and the free samples were a really nice touch. Like the other reviews mention, the 2 (potential) drawbacks are the parking and the noise from upstairs. Parking is free and there’s lots of it, but Alki is very popular (especially on nice days) so you may have to do a bit of walking. The house is older (like most in Seattle) and you clearly hear people walking upstairs (sometimes tv, too). You’re really at the whim of whoever the guests are. One group was super quiet and the next was less so and loud at bad times (3 am).
