We enjoyed meeting Jay, our host, upon our arrival. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and quiet. And the setting in the older neighborhood on a dead end street with the upper branches of a giant Eastern White Pine tree embracing our entryway was just to our preferences, coming from Alaska. We felt removed from the bustle of people and cars when we retreated to our charming lodging. Amenities were just a few blocks away in Columbia City, as Jay indicated. The shower was great with plenty of hot water and wifi was fast! We had things to do in several regions of Seattle, and moving in and out of the neighborhood location in our rental car quickly became second nature. Having a safe parking space and airbnb entrance was much appreciated. Jay was only a phone call away and was very responsive to the few questions we put to him. He was extremely gracious and easy going. We met one of Jay's neighbors bringing over a fresh loaf of bread when we first arrived. It's that kind of neighborhood! We plan to stay at the Treehouse during our future Seattle visits.
