Yvonne was incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived, and was a great resource for information on the neighborhood and Seattle. The home was clean, the kitchen well-stocked and the yard/garden was very lovely. Columbia City is a really interesting part of Seattle, and the home is really close to Rainier Ave, which has great shops, food, ice cream, etc., and is a short drive away from Lake Washington and Seward Park - not to mention a quick drive over to the Link station to catch the train into downtown.
