Cute West Seattle Home
I don't want to lave a review because I want to keep this property a secret. I loved this house, It was so cute. The neighborhood is quiet. The house location is easy to get to from the highway. We were not far from shopping, Trader Joes, and Alki Beach. I would stay here again.

Besides the check-in process, which was very frustrating due to not being provided with the access code to enter the property before arrival, the overall stay was great after.
