Incredible location

Property has a lot to do for kids, assortment of games great home layout, next to a few parks and minimal traffic to city center but outside of the bustle. Very walkable neighborhood. There were a few issues with the property but the hostess was easy to get in touch with and fixed things immediately. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Lovely home to gather with family!

We felt very at home for the week- a chance to be in Ballard with our son and his family. His brother and his family joined us with their two girls and we were able to enjoy activities over Thanksgiving together with ease. Our son’s house was just a few minutes walk away. 👍 The home was ideal for us, nicely presented, very comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you!

Amazing home in Ballard

We had the most amazing visit at Melissa’s rental home for a friend’s wedding. There was plenty of space for four of us to have privacy and also come together and hang out in common areas. She had thought of anything you might need while at her home and has stocked up! The local wine, snack mix and chocolate were such a sweet touch as well! You will not regret booking this space for your Seattle trip!

Charming home

After our stay, I’m already thinking how to use it again with friends for an extended stay in Seattle at some later date. Well maintained, roomy, home with full basement. Next to park playground for young kids and big backyard. We had three families with children visit the five of us at the house for a half day and the backyard and adjoining park made for a great family gathering for parents and young children with plenty of room outside with ample lawn chairs.

Great Ballard location in Seattle

My family of four, as well as my sister and brother-in-law stayed at the house for 3 days while we visited Seattle. It was nice having separate bedrooms for all of us. The kids enjoyed playing the piano a bit and the stash of kids books/games! The kitchen cabinets are a bit dated but it wasn't a big deal.

Great Stay in Ballard

We had a great stay at this property. It was comfortable and very well appointed with everything we needed. The kitchen especially was terrific, with plenty of dishes, flatware, cookware etc. I needed to contact the host once during our trip and she answered promptly. Would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

Wonderful location and great amount of space

This was more space than I normally need in Seattle, but it is so perfect. Having it's own parking space really takes off a lot of stress, but the street itself also had tons of room in you plan to have any visitors or have two cars. It was a lovely stay at Melissa's place!
