17 steps up to the 2 nd floor treehouse 1 bedroom apt. We had birds for neighbors each morning and could see the distant mountains and Lake Washington from our deck. Columbia city is in a valley and the residents live up and down all the local hills. Be prepared if walking to do both. 1 bedroom with full kitchen and bath was a must for us...as we stayed 1 month. Clean linens and offers to clean apt. twice during our stay. no washer/dryer in apt. we had a great visit to Seattle.
