My Mom and I have just stayed for four nights and enjoyed the spacious accommodations, which are nicely decorated. The space is located very close to the water and walking distance to many of Alki Beach’s restaurants and coffee shops. My Mom slept on the bed and I used the sofa bed, both of which were incredibly comfortable. Jay is also a genuinely nice host and either he or Carolyn the co-host (who lives upstairs) are quick to respond. If you are noise sensitive I do recommend you bring earplugs for the morning, as the insulation between the ceiling and floor of Carolyn’s apartment must be quite thin, so you can hear her and her dogs, starting at around 7:00 am. We spoke with Jay about this, upon our departure and he said we had been the first to comment about it but he would do his best to take care of it. I did still feel it was important to mention but given his sincerity, I trust he’ll do everything he can to resolve it. In no way would it deter us from staying again and I cannot recommend it more highly. It was otherwise completely quiet and the private outdoor space is wonderful.
