Our stay at Paul's Green Lake house couldn't have been better. We arrived after dark. Paul's detailed instructions made that part easy. Fresh flowers and chocolates greeted us and, after a very comfortable and good night's sleep, we awoke to see that we were perched high above a beautiful lake, sparkling in the sunshine. The next order of business had to be coffee (kindly provided by Paul) in an Adirondack chair overlooking the perfect October morning on the lake. Inside all was pristine, comfortable and convenient. The presence of children's toys added a homey feel and the kitchen was wonderfully equipped. Obviously Paul and Susan appreciate the finer points of enjoying cooking as the place had every imaginable tool, the knives were carefully protected and the one cookbook in view was a huge volume from The French Laundry. Wish we'd had time to really take advantage of it all. I even liked washing dishes as the view out the window over the kitchen sink is so nice! The shower was strong and satisfying, towels soft and abundant. Beds so comfy. We enjoyed the three-mile walk around the lake as well as the short walk up to the business district where we had burgers for lunch one day. There's a Whole Foods store a short way up 65th, just beyond the I-5 overpass where we picked up some of the best smoked salmon EVER to enjoy with eggs for breakfast. My husband and I both had some work to do and the dining table was a great place to set up shop. We opened doors and windows (all screened) to the cool breeze and loved occasionally looking up and seeing that view. Nice place to work! We barely had time to enjoy the TV and the great leather couches but when we did, the instructions for using that equipment were handy and clear and much appreciated. We were so fortunate to find Paul's place on such short notice and his prompt and friendly communication made the process smooth and easy. We enjoyed the perfect, respectful privacy and would have loved to meet our host had time allowed. Not only would we eagerly stay here again when we need to be in Seattle, we just might have to make up some reasons to visit just so we CAN!
