We stayed at Paul's place for about 5 days/4 nights and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nothing was left to be desired. Upon hearing we were traveling with our one year old daughter, Paul & his wife put extra effort into making sure our visit was as comfortable as possible. They even set up their pack-n-play for our daughter to use. The location of their property was superb. You could throw a stone and hit the lake, although I don't recommend doing so. The neighborhood had all the amenities you'd desire...diverse restaurants, excellent grocery stores, bars, coffee shops, etc. Heading into downtown Seattle took no time at all. It seemed like getting anywhere took no time at all. The fact we could stroll around the lake whenever we desired without having to drive anywhere was pure bliss. Unfortunately, we only ran into Paul once during our stay. He's a standout guy who we would've enjoyed spending more time with so he could educate us on the area and get his thoughts and opinions on living in Washington, considering we're thinking of a move. Something tells me he'd be more than happy to have obliged, if we had the time. All in all, staying at his place beat the pants (and whole attire) off of staying at a hotel. Everything you need and more.
