Great location, great value and very nice, newer finishes. We enjoyed our stay in Renate's place. Parking was always easy (right in front of the house) and the check-in treats were a nice touch. Though we didn't use it, the kitchen area is well appointed. If you need to work or plan to spend a lot of time in the apartment or watch a lot of TV it's probably not ideal, but it met our needs for our visit to get out and see all the West Seattle and other regional sights. We loved the West Seattle area - and Renate's place is very close to restaurants, parks, beaches, etc. The Sunday farmer's market was a special treat!
