Very walkable with good restaurants and a grocery store within a short walking distance. If you're willing to go a bit further on foot, you could walk along Alki Beach and spend a great day. We did have a problem with the electronic lock when we returned from dinner one night but MIchael was quick to answer his phone and find a fix so that we didn't have to stand outside in the rain for very long. It's not the cutest or most comfortable place I've stayed in but the location and the great customer service more than made up for the few shortcomings we saw. Thanks again, Michael!
