We loved Tom's apartment! and even extended our stay for two extra days. The apartment is designed with love--it is beautiful and comfortable. The Mt Baker neighborhood has lovely Craftsman-style houses and tree-lined streets and its own small downtown (Mioposto Pizzaria is a favorite restaurant), and is within walking distance of downtown Columbia City, full of cute shops and great restaurants. There is easy access to the bus and light rail into Seattle (and to the airport). As happy as we were with the accommodations themselves, the best part of our stay was Tom. He is a lovely person--interesting and helpful, while also respectful of our privacy. While we generally prefer minimal contact with our Airbnb hosts, this was the exception--we always enjoyed running into Tom and Buster as we came and went on our various adventures. We look forward to returning!
