WOW! What an AMAZING 1st time experiencing an AIRBNB!! We couldnt have picked a better place and host! Randy was outstanding in welcoming us into his we even got there!! As soon as we arrived, he greeted us at the driveway with chocolates in hand😍👍, walked us into a VERY CLEAN, well decorated and warm area( I own my own cleaning company, so clean was important!)😉, along with 3 different kinds of wine to choose from(much needed after driving over the pass!😁) and completely stocked with everything anybody needed(lots of great snacks, including ice cream bars in the freezer!) He kept contact throughout the weekend, to keep us informed of, well, things like the 3 deer that greeted us as we arrived back on a dark Saturday night! haha! We are so very impressed with Randy and his place he shares with so many! Every detail was perfect! We will be booking with him again, when we come back to visit my son, which is about every 6 months! We LOVE It! **HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!**

"This is a wonderful place to stay in Ruston Washington. Walking distance to the Zoo, Point Defiance, the Ferry to Vashon Island and the new area of Ruston Way with a ton of restaurants, a gym, spa, and Movie Theater ... has made the stay so comfortable, even gave us champagne and ice cream. Very clean, great quick communication, cozy bed, value, great little extras, ... he has thought of everything. This was our first time using Airbnb and I'm not sure if we'll ever find a better one. We highly recommend booking...."
1/19/2018 Joelle from Washington said the following...
"When I read the seemed to paint the picture of a man who takes pride in his place, but that is a an understatement. It was 5 star service, what'd you expect from a well established hotel. He found the perfect balance between informative, and respectful of our privacy. He offered various surprises, such that, it made the experience uniquely perfect. The value is here, the space is perfect, and the location is peaceful."

This is such a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a quiet secluded relaxing place to stay in North Tacoma or Point Ruston. As you can see from the photos, the bedroom is roomy and truly comfortable. the bathroom has a separate shower and deep roman soaking tub. Oh so relaxing.
The home is a wonderful place to stay. It is within walking distance to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium as well as the Park at Point Defiance. Point Defiance also has numerous hiking trails to explore. You can walk to the Ferry to Vashon Island and walk to Point Ruston with a ton of restaurants, a gym, spa, and the new Movie Theater right on the water front. By the way, let's not forget the Tacoma Dome, The Convention Center and downtown Tacoma. In addition, to the nearby Safeway and shopping areas, the Metropolitan Market is a specialty market slocated in the nearby Proctor area. The market has a variety of wines, cheeses and prepared gourmet food that is oh so wonderful.
In regards to interaction with guest, I can interact as much as the guest would like. I tend not to be intrusive especially since most guests have detailed plans or maybe here to rest and get away from it all.
if you are not driving, it must be noted that there is a wonderful public transportation system in the area as well as numerous UBER's and LYFTs.

Randy, his VRBO, and the surrounding area are all fabulous!
Randy was the perfect host. Respectful, friendly & helpful. The apartment was incredibly clean and well put together. That part of town had great access to everything I needed.

Pampered in Point Defiance
We had a wonderful stay at Randy's lovely home in Ruston/Point Defiance, WA. It is a great location, just minutes from the waterfront and the beautiful new Point Defiance Park. The home was very clean and well equipped. Very comfortable bed and sofa sleeper and great bathroom! Lovely yard with access to nicely furnished patio. (We hope you are able to enjoy some great sunsets like were.) We have only wonderful comments about the property, but even better was Randy's hospitality!! Communication before and throughout our stay was quick, easy and effective. Randy greeted us when we arrived to give us details about the property. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a generous selection of treats and drinks which Randy left to welcome us, even taking into consideration the dietary restrictions we have! He even dropped off a dessert from a specialty bakery in Seattle one day during our two week stay!! We really didn't have any "needs" after we arrived but Randy was always available with answers and suggestions when we reached out to him with questions. I believe Randy truly loves providing a wonderful, relaxing location for his guests and it brings him great pleasure when they enjoy their stay at his property. Terrific Property! Wonderful Location! Great Price! AWESOME HOST! Without a doubt, RANDY IS THE BEST HOST we have ever stayed with at a short term rental property!!! We plan to return as often as possible and highly recommend this wonderful Home away from Home!!

Terrific host and accommodations
Randolph was a terrific host, friendly and efficient. The accommodation were comfortable and clean, the location super convenient for everything I wanted to get to, and the fruit and cheese tray was delicious. I'll stay there again when I visit next.
