Had a great stay at Monica's house. It's close to transport- bus & water taxi, & there are plenty of good eateries at Admiral Junction, Alaska Junction & Alki Beach. I also made good use of the Metropolitan Market for healthy choice fast meal options- breakfast, lunch & dinner! Cafe Fiore is nearby with great organic coffee. Monica is friendly & helpful & her cats are super cute. Even though I have a mild allergy, I wasn't affected at all by them - except in a good way. A thoroughly enjoyable stay
