Jays treehouse in Columbia City was our first experience with airbnb. The treehouse is a spacious, clean and adorable alternative to a hotel. The coffee (Empire!) , bars (Lottie's!) restaurants and bakery nearby are all great! I was nervous about feeling "awkward" staying at someone's house but it couldn't be farther from that. The treehouse is very private. This location is very convenient to downtown and Capital Hill (so cute!!!); about 15 minutes.
I would definitely stay with Jay again.
