Chris’ place was absolutely perfect, there are only pros, no cons.
Booking was simple, no fuss, check in was simple and easy. The place is in an amazing location and very safe. Upon arrival we found everything white-glove clean which was encouraging among a rise in covid cases.
The living room had cabinets of toys for our young kids, enough to keep them busy but not so many it was hard to clean up. The kitchen was fully equipped and Chris even had fresh eggs and orange juice in the fridge and a basket of snacks (much appreciated since we were traveling with hungry little kids.) The bathroom was fully stocked and the bedrooms were set up well including dark curtains.
Most notably, we found all cupboards, closets, shelves, etc were labeled which is not necessary but was definitely convenient and noticed and appreciated. Our other favorite thing was that the main living area was all connected so we could hang out in the evenings to wind down after being out all day.
My grandparents grew up in Alki and still live there so we visit often and know West Seattle very well. We will be making a point to stay at Chris’ place when we visit in the future as it is close to all the things we know well and love.
