My boyfriend, my two daughters and myself were lucky to score such a great spot! First of all, Carter kept in close contact until we arrived; making sure there was nothing more he could do to make our stay more enjoyable. I couldn't think of much besides a night light for my kids since it was a new environment which Carter happened to already have. Nevertheless, we had been up since 4 in the morning to catch our flight and get to Seattle which landed at 9am. After getting our rental car and heading downtown for a great breakfast and walking around Pike Place Market we texted Carter to see if he could accommodate an early check-in. Unfortunately, that didn't work out to our advantage because there were guests that checked out that morning and the cleaning lady needed every minute to get the place prepped for us. So, foolishly I had gone to the grocery store prematurely and ended up taking the fan to Lincoln Park which I have to say might be one of my favorite parks--EVER! It's just a 5 minute drive from Carter's place and it's a must do. Go get lost in one of the many trails of red wood trees and stroll down to the beach (no sand, all stones--yet, GORGEOUS). So, although we were unable to check-in early it ended up being a good thing else we most likely hadn't have stumbled onto Lincoln Park. When 3 o'clock rolled around we were exhausted and honestly, a tad on the edge but as soon as we walked in the door we were immediately at peace! It was so much bigger and nicer than I had anticipated. It was IMMACULATE and the views were just absolutely breath taking. I'm from California and I am spoiled rotten with views and sunsets but this place still made my jaw drop and my family was super stoked too! I have no complaints whatsoever, it had everything you could possibly need including very nice kitchen ware (I love to cook). It was also nice that there were spices, in addition to other unexpired items left behind in the fridge from prior guests. We ended up leaving quite a few things behind too--so enjoy! Oh! And the shower in the master bedroom was incredible, as was the jacuzzi tub which we were all able to enjoy, especially the girls. Carter definitely set the bar high for other Airbnb hosts--he's definitely got it all figured out and doesn't take short cuts as far as quality goes. I could go on but I'm reaching my limit--so, in summation, if you're willing to commute to the city (10 min max) this place is a gem and you should look no further. But do be aware that there is a cleaning fee of $100 PLUS state tax which I did not see until after I booked--probably my fault for being too excited to read the fine print. Still all very worth it.
