Excellent location and value. We absolutely loved staying outside of the city but less than 10 miles from downtown Seattle. The music scene in Columbia City, a few miles from La Fonda's home, was EVERYTHING and don't get me started on the FOOD!!! May I suggest checking out Baked from the Hart for fresh baked homemade pies, the Royal Room for live entertainment and El Sombrero for the BEST MEXICAN FOOD EVER!!!!!! Public transportation at your door step or a few blocks away for the train. The home was comfortable, safe and we look forward to staying again next year!!!
