Here are a few comments from my guests I invited for my sisters very special wedding shower.
-Beautiful home with a great location and ample parking, but not a 5 star experience. The only area in the house that stayed cool was the basement, on average the main floor was 80 and upstairs was well above that. Due to the heat it was hard to sleep, which was a shame as the beds were comfortable. The bedroom window I was in opened, but had no screen (this was on the second floor). The freezer did not keep anything frozen. Bowls and glasses were dirty and needed washed to be used. Bathrooms were not stocked, had to search for toilet paper in the others. To top everything off the manager was informed of the above issues and more and her resolution was to ask a house full of women attending a bachelorette party to leave, poor management to say the least

-Nice house, comfy beds and pillows. just really dirty windows and screens full of lint and dirt. outside table on deck needed to be cleaned 4 times to get it presentable for food and drinks- looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. One upstairs bedroom a/c not working on the hottest weekend of the year, and window hinges broken so unable to close it, to keep any cool air in. WIne glasses needed to be washed before using them as they were filthy. Freezer would not freeze. We had to buy lots of bags of ice, only for them to melt in the freezer. Impossible to get the champagne cold enough. : ( ( And it was a wedding shower). Large fridge barely cold. Small fridge worked great, but no freezer in it to keep ice. would have been nice if manager showed up to show us how to use fridge/freezer and ac upstairs bedroom and house a/c... if indeed it did work. instead she asked us to leave, in the middle of our party dinner we were having at Alki. Definitely poor management skills. Therefore I would not recommend this house to others. If management would have stepped up to see the problems and try to fix them while we were there, we all could have felt better about this.

-There were a couple of other issues as well as the above mentioned , but that really sums it up. No paper towels, as well as 1 of the bedrooms floor still had dirt, and or crumbs, as if it wasn't vacuumed before check in.
The kicker that real got to me was the borderline harassment from the host at the dinner party Saturday evening. She was obsessively texting while we were trying to enjoy our main event dinner with the “Bride to be”. D(We were supposed to have our main dinner on this night, but the house was just too hot and uncomfortable, so we ended up eating out at a local restaurant).
It is a great location. The actual owners of the property were great.

-Very unprofessional the way the lady was harassing Wendy “Maureen” for a long time during our dinner and asking us to leave , that’s terrible. Terrible property management. I pulled a chipped glass out of cabinet , glad I noticed as to not cut my mouth. Ugh sorry have to deal . A nice house and location bed was comfy.
-Janis
-Ants in the upstairs bathroom. Windows don't open nor close all the way upstairs either, and the air conditioner didn't work in my room

AND HERE IS MY REVIEW “THE HOST” OF THE PARTY
-Disappointed about how everything happened for the party I hosted for my sisters wedding shower. When I first arrived to the house, it was gorgeous of course, but when walking around the house and outside, the table outside was so filthy, it needed a few washings. My friend Sylvia who just flew in from HAWAII, started cleaning it!!! She was so tired from her flight, then a layover in San Francisco. She spent about 15 minutes cleaning it. I was so embarrassed! Then when the chef arrived, he couldn’t find any decent cook ware nor serving dishes for the entrees in the kitchen. He said “This is the most difficult event I’ve ever had to cook/prepare for w/ hardly any supplies, and definitely not a chef’s kitchen”, I asked about the kitchen to Kimberly and she said “everything you need is in the kitchen”. I guess it’s adequate for an a family get away (if the dishes were clean), but not a fancy party w/ a hired chef! SO, …. We had to borrow salt from the neighbor. There was there was no salt. There were hardly any paper towels, (the roll was almost finished), hardly any toiler paper. We had to search the house for it, and still couldnt’ find any. We could not get the air to work downstairs nor upstairs. I had 4 people try to work the remote upstairs with no luck.
We were so uncomfortable in the house from the heat, we spent most of our time away from the house! The bottom air conditioner control on the wall said “change batteries”. Really? I had to change the batteries!! I should not have to do that! Then there were chips on the wine glasses and a couple of the bowls. There was dirty food stuck on one of the bowls, The wine glasses were not clean in the cupboard. They should have been cleaned and polished. Then the freezer was not working. I had to purchase 5 bags of ice!! There was water all over the floor every day that needed to be cleaned up from the freezer. My frozen margarita popsicles which were supposed to be the hit of the party never got frozen! : ( They were in the freezer from Friday to Sunday. I finally brought them over to the neighbors
