What a lovely home and great location! Julie was extremely hospitable. The little apartment is separate from the house, and we had the backyard space all to ourselves when we wanted, including the hot tub... but we also really enjoyed bumping into her and having a chat. I can't say enough about what she's done with the garden and how relaxing and homey it was. Also just a few blocks from the thriving Columbia City neighborhood with good food, funky shops, and even a VERY convenient light rail station to downtown. The drive isn't that bad either if you're used to Seattle or city driving. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend Julie's place for its charm, privacy, and warmth. It made me want to move to Columbia City!
