This is a very nice, if a little quirky, loft-style space. It has a full kitchen which is great for longer stays. It is very conveniently located to Columbia City, the light rail, Seward Park, and a lot of nice places to eat. Because the house is on a hill and the hills around Columbia City, it useful to have a car to get around if you are older like me. (I never take a car to downtown Seattle, though. The light rail is great). Gerrit and Ann are great hosts. They respect privacy but are available if you need them.
