First, all the communication with Kathryn and John was excellent: before the booking was made; after the booking was made and before our arrival; and after we arrived. In addition to any questions that arose, the apartment had written information - in a binder and strategically positioned notes - that addressed our questions as they arose. This is one of the most intelligently and logically run VRBOs that we've encountered.
As for the location, we couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed the walk along Alki Beach, in one direction, and then a walk along Beach Drive, in the opposite direction, that took us to Lincoln Park. Believe it or not, there are secluded/rustic park hiking opportunities in this city within a city: check out nearby Schmitz Preserve and a little farther away is Camp Long.
Getting back to the airport was so easy via a ride share service early on the weekday morning. Otherwise, we used public bus transportation to get to all parts of Seattle and beyond at all hours. We even tried the water taxi - great fun.
As vegans, we especially enjoyed grocery shopping at Metropolitan Market in West Seattle. We tried vegan options at the following locations: Cactus, A La Mode, Box Bar, and Luna Park Cafe - all in West Seattle
Thank you to Kathryn and John for an excellent experience.
