We loved Jay's treehouse - one of the highlights of our Round-the-World trip. The apartment adjoins the main house but is completely separate, and you do almost feel like you're in your own little 'treehouse'. It is the perfect size for a couple, cleverly designed, with all the amenities we needed for our two night stay.

The neighbourhood is a delight, peaceful but close enough to drive right into Seattle, should one wish to do so. We chose to catch the LINK train, which was an easy walk away through downtown Columbia City's buzzing hub, and then 15 mins ride to downtown Seattle. Super easy and super green (but you could take your car close to the station should you wish to). Columbia City is worth a mooch in itself - we loved it so much we want to move there!

The local area is so relaxing, there's beautiful Lake Washington nearby, and a great PCC for groceries - fab pizzas and organic wine.

Jay was an excellent host, he was quick to respond and gave us all the information we needed. He was available if we needed anything, but left us in total privacy for our stay.

We're only sorry we couldn't stay longer - thanks Jay and family!
