My husband and I come to Seattle about once a year to visit friends. Columbia City is one of our favorite neighborhoods, so this time, we chose the Treehouse, which was perfect for us and our 7-year-old. Check-in was a breeze and despite the fact that we were so close to Jay's own home, we felt like we were alone in our own little corner of the city. The unit is ideal for 2-3 people, and my daughter thought the futon in the living area was very comfortable. If you bring a car, it's street parking, but we were always able to find a spot. We opened the windows at night for the breezes since we were there in the summer and never heard traffic noise -- only chirping birds. While we never walked over to Rainier (a street with shops and restaurants and even a movie theater) we drove there on several occasions and it's a 4-minute drive. Driving into the city is also quick and easy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
