Great spot on the edge of Ballard

I had a fabulous stay here a few weeks ago when I was in town to check out a concert. The location is close to all of my favorite spots in Ballard. Ample street parking was available which is always a plus. I enjoyed having coffee in the balcony every morning. The bed was comfortable and the space was very clean. I enjoyed the sound system and projector. All in all a great stay. Highly recommended!

Excellent townhome in Ballard

Great place, perfect location. We like to cook and there were good spices, and just enough pots and pans. We appreciated having a garage as parking can sometimes be tricky…but don’t bring a huge vehicle as it’s a tight fit for anything bigger than a sedan. We would definitely rent it again!

Cozy Phinney Ridge home base

The property was clean, well equipped, up-to-date, and a perfect location for our stay -- not too far from anywhere we wanted to go, easy walking distance from multiple coffee shops. We enjoyed the projector setup once we were home for the night, as well as the modular sofa!

About the host

Hosted by Amir

Host profile image
I grew up abroad in a multicultural world. I love diversity. I think it makes the world a better place. Naturally, meeting new interesting people is very exciting to me. There is so much to learn from each other.

After finishing college I began working as a software engineer on video editing software and have been doing that for the past 10+ years. In the intersection between science and art, I am most at home when form meets function in the most elegant ways. It is so exciting to be able to watch a movie and know exactly how it is made, right down the each pixel. If you're interested in this sort of thing, I love chatting about it-- but be forewarned, you may never be able to watch a movie the same way. The magic of film-making can sometimes go away when you know how it works.

I love adventure! My wife and I met at a Lindy Hop dance, we've been scuba diving, skydiving, and I even have my very own paraglider. If you're an adventurous type too, I'd be happy to give you some ideas for things to do while you're visiting Seattle. I look forward to hosting you and chatting about interesting topics!

Why they chose this property

As an engineer, I absolutely love fixing things and tinkering. Naturally, I spent the past several years upgrading our home. I decided it would be great to share all the upgrades and hard work I've done and list it on VRBO. It really has been a labor of love for me. My wife and I live nearby, so we're always close by if something breaks. I know the home inside and out and will do everything I can to make sure your stay is amazing.
