Our favorite place to stay in Seattle, near enough to Seattle to enjoy the day, but also explore the more local area of Columbia City. While walking around Columbia City we found a great bottle of wine at Vino Verite Wineshop, enjoyed a Caribbean meal at Island Soul and the next day stopped by Columbia City Alehouse. The accommodations were clean, fully stocked, nicely decorated, everything we possibly could need was there! It actually snowed in Seattle when we were there so we greatly appreciated the extra space to spread out, read or play some cards/games. The hosts were extraordinary, they very much are super hosts, attentive if need be but no hovering, very easy to reach and they responded within minutes. They are in the top hosts if not the very top of best hosts ever on our list. All in all wonderful stay and we will be back!
