The reviews are from people that have stayed here and have enjoyed the hospitality of the home. 2/26/18 Tifni from Idaho, an awesome guest said the following... 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!!** 1/6/18 Sacha from Colorado said the following: "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.

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!!

Great property for sightseeing the area of Seattle and Tacoma. Host Randy goes over the top to make sure you have everything you need at the property. He is there for checkin with cookies, wine, and other goodies. Easy communication. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Randy is a great host
Helped me navigate my transportation needs so attending a workshop in Gig Harbor was doable.
He provides a comfy space, and it is within walking distance to the waterfront.

We had a short stay while preparing for our relocation to the area, and loved this place. Randall is the best VRBO host we've ever had. The unit was clean and super well stocked to make our stay extra easy - the house is located very close to Point Defiance and great restaurants. We plan to suggest Randall's place to any visitors after we've moved to the Tacoma ourselves very soon.

Location, location . . .
Didn't have a car this trip. Didn't need one. Tacoma is a great walking town and this places you a healthy walk away from almost anything you need. Antique Sandwich Co. a few blocks away along with the sedate neighborhood restaurant Macaluso. A short walk further puts you in Pt. Defiance Park or on the Ruston waterfront.
The essential place, Metropolitan Market, is a few miles away. Either a serious walk or Uber through Tacoma's beautiful North End.
Randy is a wonderful host, there to show you around at first and always a text away. I live in an old house so was impressed by the "smart" aspects of the place, climate controlled by tablet etc.
There is everything I could need and some good Washington wine too which put it over the top.
Best of all was the quiet. City sounds are far away, not intrusive like in L. A.
One of my new favorite places to stay.

Excellent property. Amazing host!
We were in Tacoma for 2 weeks scouting a possible move. I can't say enough about our host, so attentive and responsive without being overbearing. Greeted us with wine, the most amazing cookies and ice cream and Randy's10* treatment of his guests made our trip delightful. Property is central to all the parks, restaurants, etc. and couldn't have served our needs better. Really don't know how a host could top or even match the care given my family by Randy.

Perfect home base for our visit to the Tacoma area
Randy was a wonderful host. The place was well stocked with plenty of coffee, several bottles of wine and the richest chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. The apartment was in an ideal location, close to the waterfront with many restaurants to choose from and easy freeway access. I would highly recommend booking your stay with Randy.
