This was our third trip to Seattle to visit our son and our first experience with Airbnb. We definitely hit the jackpot with finding Carter’s house. It is beautiful, comfortable, wonderfully decorated, private, and has a “million dollar view.” The view looks like a painting from every angle. The ferry moving silently in and out of the dock confirms that it’s not a painting but real…even well into the night when you watch the lights of the ferries criss-cross across the Sound in silence. We were lucky to have nice weather for our six days and enjoyed seeing the sunset every evening. It was uncharacteristically warm for Seattle and Carter’s house is one of the few that has air-conditioning. The house has everything you could want or need. The well-equipped kitchen is a delight to prepare meals in. The master bedroom and bathroom are exquisite. The rain shower is every bit as wonderful as is described. The two sitting rooms are gorgeous and a pleasure to relax in. My teen son enjoyed the view he had from the Murphy bed that was his for the trip. There is a great sound system and tons of CDs to choose from. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the location was perfect for everything we did. My Seattle-based son enjoyed coming over with his girlfriend after work. We got to enjoy wonderful quality time preparing meals together and dining and laughing on the wonderful deck. Carter was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the house. He was great to communicate with and always a quick text away. He even made sure to let us know that we could harvest figs from the tree in his backyard. That was a delicious treat and we were there right at the perfect time! This was definitely the best visit we had with our son and so much more enjoyable than staying in a hotel. Thank you, Carter, for hosting us in your beautiful home. And thank you, Airbnb, for letting us find Carter! We will be back!
