Cute neighborhood and cuter house

This was the perfect distance from downtown and we were super close to buses and it was only about a 15-20 min Uber ride to downtown. The house was perfect and clean and the neighborhood had everything we needed!

Once again a perfect stay!

This was our second time to stay at this property and we weren't disappointed. The location couldn't be better. There are lots of restaurants in walking distance and there isn't a better place to stay in Seattle than Ballard. I was having some email issues due to travel and Karen helped me out quickly. Clean, great beds, full kitchen, nice patio with grill and a washer and dryer! A perfect place for us!!

Cute cottage

Easy place to stay. Very close to businesses for morning coffee or evening meal. Good lighting for reading. Nice to sit by the front window and watch the neighborhood or the kitchen table and watch a rabbit in the backyard. Any issues we had were responded to in less than a day.

Fantastic cottage!

Everything was perfect! I did not pay attention when booking and realized when we arrived that there was no Air conditioning. It was really hot when we arrived at 11 pm. But we opened all the windows and there were fans in each room so it cooled down pretty quickly. Close the windows and all window coverings during the day and it stays pretty cool.
