Marian is an amazing host! She thinks of everything. She emailed us a detailed list of bus and water taxi schedules, places to eat, best happy hour and what sites not to miss while visiting Seattle. Her suggestions were all spot on. You have the best of both worlds staying at her place. You have the quaint town of Alki with quiet restaurants and bars on the beach and 10 minutes away you have the lively city of Seattle. This place is perfect and we would definitely stay there again.
