-This is a beautiful upper unit in a quaint, picturesque neighborhood. I was able to walk down by the lake and found an awesome place on the way back--check out Third Place Books/Raconteur (same place) to get a feel of this awesome neighborhood. - To travel, I took a lyft/uber to the Columbia City Sound Transit station and dwas able to get to downtown. Columbia City is close to Seward Park and offers cool little spots as well. This is definitely a place to stay if you want to be able to get to action but don't want to be smack in the middle of it. Coming from another big city myself, this was the perfect Seattle experience. Upon Steve's suggestion, I ordered Castelo's my first night there. Awesome low key Italian fare and incredibly fast delivery if you don't feel like going out. Props to Steve and Deb for awesome suggestions. The bed, pillows, extra blankets, couch, fireplace, and smart TV truly made this a home away from home. I slept like a baby and relaxed just as I needed. Additionally, Bjorn is my new cat bestie. He's an angel with 4 paws and I'm truly gonna miss him. In terms of value, this place can't be beat. I legit feel like I just got away with something. Ha! Would def return when I come to Seattle again!
