Looking to stay in Ballard? This is IT!

We stayed in this comfortable apartment for a long weekend to visit family! We have stayed in many VRBO properties all over the world and this one was one of the cleanest and most comfortable places we’ve ever stayed! Ingrid and John were such gracious hosts! They made sure we had everything we needed and more! The location is fantastic and yes, very walkable to shops, restaurants and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly come again! Thanks, Ingrid and John for providing such a perfect place to park while in Ballard!

Roomy, convenient place!

We had a delightful stay! This ground floor flat is spacious, with a big living room and--especially useful for parents with children--two separate bedrooms quite far apart from each other. The location is great, not far from Ballard businesses on one side and Shilshole (Ray's Boathouse, etc.) on the other. We met John, one of the owners, who was friendly and helpful. If we manage to return to Seattle, we'll try staying here again!

What a great spot right in Ballard!

Great neighborhood spot- 1/2 block to coffee, restaurants, and 15 minute walk to Sunset Park! Close to the Locks, downtown Ballard, Shilshole Bay, Fisherman's Terminal, etc. Nicely appointed and plenty of room for our family of 5. Off street parking right in front. Owners helpful, but not intrusive.

Wonderful place

The place was perfect for our visit to Seattle. Short distance from my son in Ballard. Waking distance to a charming local market. All the convenience we could want. The washer and dryer were a nice amenity. The weather was so beautiful, I hope you will consider adding some chairs outside, maybe on the side of the house, to enjoy sitting outside during the mornings and evenings. Would love to stay again on my next trip to Seattle.
