We are still enjoying Yvonne and Ralph's wonderful hospitality--we are staying on for another two+ weeks! The apartment is more than we expected--private, a great view, and every convenience you can imagine. The kitchen is stocked with myriad pots and pans, kitchen gadgets, appliances. The comfortable living room is stocked with a wide range of interesting films. The bedroom has a lovely spacious desk, television/DVD player, comfy bed. Yvonne and Ralph are so accommodating! Although there is a butcher block counter with bar stools for eating in the kitchen, they brought in a dining table for our use. Finally, there is very, very easy access to downtown Seattle via light rail or bus, and the apartment is a short walk to a grocery store and the shops and restaurants of charming downtown Columbia City. What more could a person want?!
