Allyson’s unit is in a wonderful area of Alki Beach- just down the block from the water and all of the cute shops and restaurants downtown! My group of 4 is so happy we chose to stay on this side of Seattle—definitely something different, but such a great choice!
The unit comfortably sleeps 4, but the bathroom is fairly small and the living area has just enough seating for 4. We were comfortable enough while sitting around the coffee table eating dinner and chatting, but the set-up was a little uncomfortable for all watching a movie. The unit has a ton of fans stowed in various closets and parts of the house, so if you’re visiting in the summer definitely take the time to get those all set up! Even when the temperature drops in the evening, the unit stays quite warm.
The West Seattle Bridge is closed, so if you’re planning on going downtown or to any of the closer-in Seattle neighborhoods, be aware that the drive will be longer (and more expensive, if you’re utilizing ride share apps) than normal. It is what it is (and nothing that really has anything to do with this particular AirBnB!), but just something that my group wish we had known ahead of time, for planning purposes. There is low Uber and Lyft availability in the area, so scheduling rides on the apps is a good idea if you’re trying to get anywhere on the other side of the city at a particular time.
Overall, my group of 4 enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time in Alki Beach! Thank you, Allyson!
