We found the accommodation to be excellent for a couple. It was cute and spread over two floors. The kitchen was well equipped and downstairs. Up a steep flight of stairs was the bathroom with an excellent shower, toilet and basin. The other room contained a double bed on an alcove and a pull out sofa bed which was also the only seating for the room.It was a little tight for two friends but ideal for a couple. In a convenient location.There is laundry facility at the entrance to the accommodation on the ground floor. They contain a washer and dryer and are shared with the residents of the front house.

What a cute little place to stay! Tidy & well stocked with everything you could need & the host was very attentive & nice. (but not overly attentive)We especially enjoyed the lovely outdoor garden patio area to hang in. We too advantage of that quite a bit. Having off street parking was a real plus. If you are older, heavy set, & with slight mobility issues like us, this may not be the place for you. If not, then, we would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect location in Ballard

I used to live in this neighborhood within Ballard and had a wedding to attend nearby, so this was the perfect location to show my partner around. You’re walking distance to convenience/grocery stores, some of my favorite restaurants and bars, and a short bike or scooter ride to Golden Gardens.

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 . . .

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 .

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.
