Greetings! I have lived in on the East coast and West Coast in the USA and after a two year stint in London, am back in Seattle but always eager to be traveling again whenever time and work allows. I have two beautiful homes side-by-side in the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle. Both can sleep up to eight people comfortably, both have big backyards with lovely gardens, berries, fruit trees, fun stuff for kids. We live in one and the other is a vacation rental. Both are available for house exchange.
I have traveled extensively. Favorite places have been, New Zealand, Chile, London, Spain, Crete, Brindisi, Tallinn. I have a seven year old daughter, Paloma and she is a happy little nomad as well.
If you are at all interested in a trip to Seattle please send us a line, as we are very spontaneous and love exploring new places we have not considered. I have been a homeowner for more than two decades, and also have had a vacation rental business for 15 years. I love being a host and setting up comfortable spaces for people, and I am extremely responsible, respectful and clean when it comes to being in someone else's home.

The space
Casa Madrona is a gorgeous, architect remodeled, 1917 Dutch Colonial in the heart of Madrona. This beautiful, gracious home has been completely restored from the studs up, adding period touches such as window benches and floor to ceiling bookshelves. The house is perfect for family gatherings, large or small, groups of friends, or colleagues.
Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and two full baths with Olympic mountain and city skyline views. The main floor features a formal entry leading to a sun-lit living room with cozy gas fireplace, and lots of books, couches and window seat for cozy relaxing. French doors lead to a spacious, sunny dining room and a huge, open, fully stocked Chef's kitchen with enormous island and even a little cookbook nook. The dining room leads to a large cedar deck and a fully fenced back yard with scrumptious apples in the Autumn, and raspberries and herbs in the summer.
The basement has a top of the line, large-sized washer/dryer. There is an attached 1 car garage and plenty of street parking. There is also a lovely front lawn to play or relax on. Casa Madrona is 1 block from the Madrona Playfield, with playground, tennis courts, and open spaces for dogs. 2 Blocks away are all the lovely, quaint shops and bakeries. A hidden ten minute trail through a secret forest takes you straight to Lake Washington beaches, parks & trails and Marina. We are five minutes from Capitol Hill and downtown by car.
For the kids, we are three blocks from the library, 2 blocks to the park and coffee and cupcake shop across the street. We have what you need for child and infant care. Lots of toys, books, pack-n-play, Uppababy G-Lux Stroller, and even an indoor swing chair! Deck, grill, fruit trees, and a quiet, backyard.

Onze tips voor leuke activiteiten en uitjes bij ons in de buurt
Madrona has an abundance of excellent restaurants all within a 5 minute walk. Around the corner is our favorite restaurant, Vendemmia, which is the best happy hr in the city, every day from 5-6pm. Next to it is a fresh fish market with delicious items like wine, bread, deserts and picnic items. We also have an urban winery called The Bottle House, a French restaurant called The Red Cow, with a fabulous outdoor Happy Hour in the summer. For those who like a more casual atmosphere, Madrona has its own all ages pub with a fireplace, and great food for family nights. We also have an incredible 2nd hand clothing shop with very chic choices on our main street, jewelry, lingerie, and a walk up organic ice-cream window, a cupcake cafe and more. You can walk down to the lake and there is another sweet little business district and you can walk by the boats and have lunch or dinner at Meet the Moon - delicious Tacos! A 20 minute walk to the North and you will reach The Harvest Vine, the best Tapas in Seattle.
