This place is perfect for two people. We enjoyed the lovely, quiet neighborhood, and were centrally located to all of the activities we were attending and family we were visiting. The bedroom and bathroom are nice, and we were quite comfy there. The yard is perfect for an afternoon or evening get together. Since it is relatively small indoors, we brought back sandwiches and drinks from a local place (plenty of good food nearby) after walking around Ballard locks and had a nice picnic out there. It was nice to have the parking in the back of the property as well. The hosts were responsive and very helpful.Even though we have family in the area (it was a full house on this visit), we may choose to stay here next time for our own peace and comfort anyway. It was totally worth it.
