This was a lovely, private, quiet place to stay, provided by a friendly and helpful host. It's walking distance to interesting shops and good food in the Columbia City neighborhood - 15 minutes, and just a little farther to the light rail, which we enjoyed using to go into Seattle and to the airport. Seward Park is a beautiful place to hike to also, if you're looking for an exercise walk with a water view, and there's a whole foods co-op just a few blocks away. I hope to have a chance to stay here again!
