Sarah was very welcoming and quite responsive to our needs. Unfortunately, we encountered problems with electrical and plumbing that she had to attend to, which she did to the best of her ability. The outcome was not satisfactory, however.
The unit is an apartment, not a cottage, and really a studio rather than a one-bedroom. It is in serious need of upgrade to be rentable. There is no storage for clothing except a closet which was taken up by a mattress.
Alki Beach is a fun, active area. The apartment is right in the middle of things. We were concerned about noise but didn't have any trouble.
