My boyfriend Calisto and I stayed in the cottage for a couple of days to celebrate both of our birthdays and anniversary in Seattle. Julie was very warm and welcoming. And we were wowed by the cottage that is an oasis amidst the fog. It was nice to stay in a neighborhood that we may not have seen if we stayed in a conventional hotel downtown. Everyone in Columbia City was extremely welcoming. We especially liked the wine tasting and jazz at The Royal Room as well as the all day breakfast spot, Geraldine's Counter (for us late risers). When we wanted to venture to the city, either the number 7 bus or link brought us there in no time. Overall it was a lovely stay. Thanks, Julie!
