My girlfriend and I were John's first long term guests and it has worked really well. The place is secluded from the rest of the house with it's own driveway and outside patio area. It's only a short walk down the hill to the bus stop which can easily take you to Capitol Hill or Downtown. It's not far from the Othello or Columbia City light rail stations either.
The rooms are large and both beds are very comfortable. The master bedroom has lots of storage space as well.
The communal area has a great TV and couch. Plus there are workout machines to use, which is a nice bonus.
We also had our own personal washer and dryer to use, which was very nice.
The views of Ranier are truly incredible. We would eat many meals outside because of it.
Overall, John's place is one of the best AirBNBs we've ever stayed at.
