Clean, cozy and comfy basement one bedroom with large newer couch. Well stocked kitchenette with variety of coffee and tea options and complimentary dark chocolate (yum!) and sparkling waters. Location was handy to Ballard downtown and local beach and parks. Some walking noise upstairs but not bothersome. Highly recommend!

Ballard is a great place to visit - lots of fun shops , restaurants. Nice neighborhood to stroll around. Very quiet at night. Apartment is very roomy. Due to sloping site there’s lots of windows in the main rooms. The main bed was very comfortable. Excellent shower. we were only two so did not try the sofa bed. We would definitely go back here. Hosts were easy to reach - we were very last minute guests, so we appreciated their rapid decision to have us and get instructions to us

Cozy Getaway

We arrived a little late due to some horrible traffic, but were soon very relaxed in this sweet little basement apartment. It was easy to access, clean and perfect for our little family. Lots of books and games to keep us busy. Small little kitchen, but nice as long as you aren’t planning big meals. Sink is a little small to wash dishes, but overall worked fine. Wi-fi worked great, and sleeping arrangements were cozy. Great place to stay!

Bright, comfortable, and convenient!

The apartment is very well-appointed and was a great place to stay when my husband and I came to town to visit family in Ballard and NE Seattle. It was nice to have off-street parking and be assured of a parking spot no matter what time of day we returned. I appreciated the many thoughtful touches provided by the hosts and their thoughtfulness in checking in with us to be sure we were comfortable. I truly wouldn't change a thing and hope it will be available for one of our future trips to Seattle!

Beautiful apartment in a great neighborhood

We had a great stay in Natasha and Ken's beautiful apartment. They are gracious hosts and very easy to communicate with. Besides being spotlessly clean and comfortable, the apartment had everything we needed and more. It had plenty of room for entertaining our little granddaughter, and the kitchen was thoughtfully equipped for cooking our simple meals. Certainly the highlight for my husband and son was getting to play pool together in the evenings. We are very happy to have found this place and hope to stay again next time we return to Ballard!

Great Place! We Highly Recommend!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place was cozy, clean, comfortable, and larger than we expected (rare for online interpretation of hotel/apartment sizing). There were several board games available for us/our kids to play and coffee on hand, too (my wife was particularly happy about that nice little touch)! Natasha, the host, responded to our inquiries right away and was very helpful. The neighborhood is nice and quiet but convenient to downtown Ballard, the beach, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

Best sleep of our life

Thoughtful touches, such as cold beverages, coffee/tea, and tasty chocolate greeted us upon arrival. I messed up our arrival date and Tasha saved us a late drive and awkward situation w her prompt and kind response. :) We stayed for four nights and had the best time. The furniture was comfortable, the bed exceptionally comfortable (like laying down in a supportive hug), and plenty of linens. We cooked a lot and didn’t feel the lack of stove/oven. (We brought our French press and induction-friendly Bialetti from home.)Cool mid-century details, like the basement intercom system, highlight the history of the house and architecture throughout the neighborhood. Quiet neighborhood, great walking, minutes drive to Ballard…great place, great experience. We’ll definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Natasha Avery

Host profile image
We have lived in Seattle for the last 25 years. Ballard is my favorite neighborhood in the city. Well connected to the music community. Self-professed foodie and cook. We love to sail and travel. We are happy to provide recommendations around town and have a binder with many recommendations.

Why they chose this property

This house is in a historic neighborhood in Seattle-Olympic Manor in Ballard. The homes are all mid century with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains and the Puget Sound. In December, most houses decorate and it is a city wide destination to view holiday decor-it's really amazing.

What makes this property unique

Guests that have stayed have said how they love that it feels like home and is quiet and spacious with everything they needed and that they love walking in the neighborhood.
