We've been to Seattle a few times previously but never had explored the area of Alki beach. Marian's place is on a hillside neighborhood overlooking Puget sound with winding, picturesque roads. We enjoyed walking down to the beach on crisp mornings for a coffee and a stroll along the water where we saw seals and otters. The studio is exactly as depicted and described by others (thank you to those previous guests who guided us toward this place). Marian is super responsive and kind. We truly appreciate being able to experience Seattle in this unique setting and hope to be back :)
