Thu was a wonderful host. The location is pretty good - you can walk 10-15 minutes to Light Rail station. To get to grocery stores, you can go to PCC Markets (a little pricey) or take the Light Rail from Columbia City to Othello Station to get to Safeway. The house is also on a hill, so if you plan on renting a bike like I did, you'll have to get used to braking when riding down to the main street.
The house is well furnished and had basic amenities, like toilet paper, paper towels, and shampoo/soap. The house also has AC and a nice outdoor patio.
Thu answered our questions and we had no problem communicating with them. We really loved our trip!
