This is a basement-level apartment with private entrance through the alley and the backyard. It is spacious for a one-bedroom unit; the bathroom fixtures are new as is the furniture (couch, bed, table). It is in a quiet, residential neighborhood in West Seattle near the ocean. The hosts are responsive and accommodating. Given the basement location, it is a bit musty smelling; I used the provided fans to keep air circulating through the unit and the host provided air freshener and a candle to mediate the smell.
