About the host
Hosted by Mike and Leslie
My wife Leslie and I have been married for 29 years and love Seattle, but also love to travel. We look forward to having more time during retirement to see the rest of the US and the world. I love to bicycle (STP, anyone?) and hike. Leslie and I both enjoy spending time with our son and two grandkids. Probably my favorite trip ever (not counting the two months biking thru Europe I spent in my youth) has been our trip to Paris a few years ago. I am a life-long Seattleite (my dad went to Queen Anne High School, long ago in the days before it got converted to a condo!).
We're experienced hosts on other platforms and look forward to hosting on VRBO/Homeaway.
