Everything was great! We have stayed in a number of VRBO’s in the area to visit our son and this is the best. Clean, great location to Ballard, coffee shop and restaurants so close, nice neighborhood (safe). The apartment itself was exceptionally clean, well equipped and quiet. We met Monica and she is a sweetheart.

Stayed here with my significant other and we had a great time. Our plane was delayed, but the self check in process was easy and flexible. The place itself was great— clean, spacious, and had a great little patio out back. Location is walking distance to lots of great restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Would stay here again!

We enjoy hosting and are happy to share local tips to help you experience the best of the neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

✨ A LABOR OF LOVE IN THE HEART OF BALLARD ✨My name is Monica, and my journey with this home began with a simple love for the neighborhood. Years ago, while living just a few miles north, my family and I found ourselves drawn to Ballard constantly. Whether we were craving the authentic flavors of La Carta de Oaxaca or the lively atmosphere at Matador, this neighborhood always felt like home. 🌮Over the years, we brought countless friends and family members here to experience the magic of the Locks and the local shops. It was on one of those very trips that we spotted this property. It was a diamond in the rough that needed extensive work, but having remodeled my previous home and built a mother-in-law unit before, I knew we could breathe new life into it. 🛠️We took a leap of faith so we could afford to live in this incredible community, and we have spent the last 13 years pouring our hearts into every detail. It is truly thanks to the patronage of guests like you that we are able to own and share this home. We are honored to be your hosts and can't wait to share our favorite local "pro-tips" with you!

What makes this property unique

Experience the ultimate blend of urban excitement and residential serenity. Nestled in the sought-after Whittier Heights pocket of Ballard, our designer studio is the perfect "basecamp" for travelers who crave a quiet night’s sleep without sacrificing a world-class location. 🏡

RECHARGE IN STYLE 👑Forget cramped hotel rooms. Sink into a premium California King Bed draped in high-quality linens. For our eco-conscious guests, we offer a rare urban luxury: a Private EV Charger ⚡ right on-site, ensuring you’re powered up and ready for your Pacific Northwest adventures.

ICONIC SEATTLE LANDMARKS 🌊We are perfectly positioned between the engineering marvel of the Ballard Locks and the breathtaking sunsets of Golden Gardens Park. For a cozy evening, catch a film at the historic Majestic Bay Theatres (pro-tip: Tuesday nights offer a fantastic local discount!). 📽️
