John's place is very pleasant. It is reasonably close to Columbia City with it's many fine restaurants. It is only a mile or so from a couple of light rail stops, and we found that very useful for getting to places. Except to go eat in the evening or travel out of the area, we seldom drove anywhere; we used the train and buses. Oh, but one must drive to the stations as it is too far to walk - well, it was for us. John's facilities are great, but note that there is no kitchen at this time. There is a microwave and small refrigerator, however, along with a Keurig coffee pot.
