We had a great stay at the Treehouse, even if it was just a short one. The house to Columbia City is an easy little 5-10 minute walk and there's great food/coffee places there to check out (and the cinema is cute). Didn't have a car but were able to easily catch buses right in CC or walk a bit farther to take the LINK train into downtown Seattle. The house is in a quiet area, gets a lot of natural light, and having a morning coffee out on the balcony still feels kind of private because of all the tress.
