Great location and felt right at home

We had a wonderful stay. The location was ideal. We were close enough to downtown so we could easily go exploring but the house is in a nice quiet area away from all of the commotion. We were able to shop at the a nearby farmers market and have wonderful food on hand. We even got to attend the local Seafood Fest in downtown Ballard. We felt like locals. Thanks for everything .

Sunset Hill Seattle

Good for two people. A great location with quiet backyard to relax. Parking is private and convenient. The bed is small for 2. Kitchen has all you need, but table space is minimal so it is good for breakfast. Walk easily to some restaurants and bike along the bike paths. We found the chairs from the balcony to be more comfortable than the couch . . .

Delightful Nest

My husband and I enjoyed everything about our stay. The two levels enabled him to make early morning coffee and hold zoom meetings downstairs while I was preparing for the day upstairs. A small deck upstairs with glider chairs overlooks the delightful patio below, and the chimney tops above, a welcoming respite at the end of day in the beautiful landscaping. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and very walkable to nearby eateries.

Great spot near Ballard Locks

The property is clean, well appointed, and offers a convenient location for the Ballard area. The hosts have thought of everything to accommodate the traveler. One suggestion would be to leave instructions for the use of the Keurig coffee maker. It did not work sometimes. Overall, I highly recommend this rental.
