Our family of 5 (mom/dad/18/15/8) stayed for 11 days in August and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest! Alyssa’s place was described accurately and also included a sofa bed in the living room in addition to the 2 queen bedrooms. The hot tub was a bonus at the end of a long day of walking. Washer/dryer provided. Dryer definitely takes a while to dry clothing. Kitchen had all equipment that one would want. Inquired about a small cooler and one was provided! Anthony/Alyssa were quick and responsive! The house is 5 blocks from the Light Rail Station and is easily accessible to downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport. If staying for a while get an Orca Card. It will save you money on frequent trips. The house is at the very top of a particularly steep hill so I would advise those who are older to think about this if they have handicaps or other health problems. Columbia City is awesome and has great coffee shops, bakeries, and stores including a grocery store - PCC. We loved Geraldine’s Counter and had brunch there 3 times during our visit! Get the coffee cake of the day. Olympia Coffee is delicious as is Tutta Bella (Italian). Get the pizza, tiramisu and gelato! Our family rented a car for 4 of the days we were visiting from the airport. No problems at all coordinating the rental. Travelled to Mount Rainer, Snoqualmie Falls, Whidbey Island and Deception Pass using the car. All doable day trips. Thanks again for hosting our family Alyssa and Anthony! Everything was perfect!
