Well, I hate to ever say anything less than complimentary, but we had some issues with this place. Now, I will say it was very clean (it appears to be recently finished) and the location can’t be beat. I do believe the owner genuinely tried to assist us (remotely) , but we definitely ran into some trouble.
First of all, The listing states that you have an “entire bungalow” to yourself. Our flight was delayed and we arrived after dark. Following the owner’s instructions, it took about 45 minutes of fumbling around in the dark, worrying that we were trespassing on someone’s property before we realized that the entrance was at the back basement level. This unit is in fact a finished basement in someone’s house. Perhaps that was my misunderstanding - the listing says the units are connected, but I thought it was a standalone unit; at least above ground level.
But beyond that, the front door is not properly aligned and would not lock. The owner tried to lock it remotely, but was unsuccessful. So for the duration of our stay, we had to leave the front door unlocked not only while we were gone but while we were sleeping at night. As a basement space, it’s a bit dark and awkward. The ceilings are very low - one of the doors would not close because it would hit an electrical plate on the ceiling. There is no proper couch, just a rather uncomfortable metal daybed. And I’m going to go out on a limb and say there was a cat litter box housed in the basement in the past, as the smell lingered.
All in all, the price was decent and I can’t complain about being two blocks from Alki Beach, but I’m sorry to say I don’t think we’ll stay here again.
