We loved staying in Nicolas and Estelle’s cozy nest in West Seattle. It is a great place for long stays. Or terrific for couples traveling together. The kitchen is small, but a big complex meal could easily be cooked there with the lovely pans provided and the full-size stove and oven. Everything is sparkling clean. The dishes and glasses/cups are new and lovely to use.
The place is huge. The living room window has an unobstructed view of Puget Sound. Both bedrooms have a wall of windows that includes sliding glass doors onto the huge private deck overlooking the forest of Shmitz Preserve Park. We were serenaded by chickadees, Stellar jays, northern flickers, and others we didn’t identify. Two tables with chairs are provided for relaxing and viewing the forest. Wonderful.
Parking is at the end of the street in the house’s private drive/parking area. The neighborhood is lovely, and quiet. Shopping for groceries or in the shops of the Admiral or Alaska junctions is very close. Alki beaches and drives are also very close.
Also, this apartment is furnished for guests. There is no house storage clogging up the closets or cupboards. All the space is for guests. Wonderful. We hope to return.
The décor is continental; plenty and comfortable but not cluttered. We loved the “less is more” feel and had everything we wanted or needed.
Oh yes. Nicolas and Estelle are terrific. Plus, they are both lovely to visit with.
