This place was exactly as described and as pictured. Marcus was very prompt in communication and Lara met us to give us a welcome tour and explain the door. They had snacks and all sorts of info about Seattle in general and the Columbia City area as well. The train was a bit of a walk but extremely easy to navigate (similar to DART if you've ever ridden Dallas's light rail). It got us down and back. There was also an off-street parking space if we had rented a car. It's a nice quiet neighborhood, very safe seeming. Just a couple blocks away is Rainier street with all sorts of restaurants and a small movie theater. Very lovely place and would definitely stay again if we are in the area!
