My girlfriend and I recently moved to Seattle without an apartment to call our own, so we needed a place to stay while we looked around. This was the first place we reserved to stay during our apartment hunt.

Eric was a fantastic host. Immediately friendly and welcoming, offering not only friendly advice about the neighborhood, but also offering any help he could to help us find a place in West Seattle. I was also fortunate to have met the rest of Eric's family who were very polite and friendly.

The cottage was perfect for the two of us (and our 2yr old cat). It an absolutely stunning cottage. Totally comfortable and clean with a private entrance and parking spot, and just an all around pleasure to stay in. It was near a lot of great restaurants and a very short and scenic drive from Alki beach (5 minutes?). Fortunately for us apartment hunters, it was only about a 15 - 20 minute drive downtown.

I'd wished we could have stayed far longer, but it was booked up. I could not possibly recommend this place more, and should we need a place again in West Seattle, this will be our first choice.
