This place has charm inside and out! Our favorite aspect of this stay is location! Roughly 10-12 min walk to the train station that drops you right off in downtown Seattle and further north. We relied on this heavily. Columbia City also has everything you need in walking distance from grocery stores, amazing coffee spots and the best sushi & breakfast. The area is pretty hilly as well so be aware if you are not renting a car. The hosts were speedy to reply when we had questions and very friendly.
