John and Leila's house is incredibly tasteful, well-designed, and clean. The place is very peaceful, overlooking the wetlands of Pritchard Island from the deck. It was so enjoyable I didn't want to leave. The place is also a real home with interesting books, appliances, high quality kitchenware, and cooking items (spices, oils, etc). The hosts are also responsive and extremely thoughtful in their hospitality touches (house manual, recommendation booklet, welcome wine/chocolates, etc.). I would note the location is about 7 minutes from Columbia City by car and about a 22-30 minute drive from South Lake Union or Belltown. I will definitely try to stay at their place again in the future.
