My husband and I loved Marian's place and highly recommend it. It is a perfect space for one or two guests. The bed is really comfortable, and we loved the large picture window so we could wake to a view of the water. Marian was very attentive, sending us restaurant recommendations in advance for the Alki Beach area and Seattle, and checking in on us after our arrival. All suggestions were wonderful, especially the Cactus, Phoenicia, and Duke's Chowder.--just a short mile away. We loved being able to walk down to these restaurants and the beach. There are some fairly steep steps up to the entrance, so be prepared. We packed light so it was not an issue. We literally fell in love with this space and the neighborhood -- so much so that we are already planning our return trip!
