It is a cute place. Having my own garden was great. The location is great. But, the rug in the living room was slightly damp and has an unpleasant odor. The non-fitted mattress cover was overly wrinkled and left marks on the body

Cozy Cottage in the Heart of Ballard

This is the perfect cottage as a solo traveler, and would accommodate a couple easily. Check-in process very easy, host is excellent in communication, and responds very quickly with any question you may have.The space is thoughtfully curated, spotlessly clean, and you feel safe and secure. There is a lovely yard, and a privacy fence around the perimeter, so you feel that sense of privacy all the time. The property is in a beautiful area, and is within walking distance of Town & Country Market for the essentials you may need upon arrival. Ballard Farmers Market is also within walking distance, open year around, and is an amazing market to visit on Sundays. If you are looking for a great landing spot for your time in Ballard/Seattle, this is a great place, and will not disappoint!!

This little cabin is a gem. Just enough kitchen, a block from a nice supermarket and walking distance to the bus line we needed. The structure is not attached to anything so it's nice and quiet, and the yard is ideal for coffee in the morning and wine at night while enjoying the Pacific NW summer. I would also mentioned that all the towels and linens seemed pretty new and had been washed in scent free products so no allergies for me.
