Ron is right about the driveway. Going up, difficulty factor 1 out of 10--backing down, 10 out of 10. Okay, 7.5 for a skilled driver like myself. :) After the first night, I found street parking to be just fine. Ron's home and yard are amazing with an open, modern, basement apartment tucked in to the hillside. Everything was brand new; the comfy bed, awsome bathtub and shower plus a kitchen. Because my visit was in December I did not get to take advantage of the deck or hot tub but the fireplace was really nice to have. This is a perfect alternative to a hotel stay for business travelers. West Seattle, Alki Beach and Ron are gems!
