Perfect location in Ballard

I used to live in this neighborhood within Ballard and had a wedding to attend nearby, so this was the perfect location to show my partner around. You’re walking distance to convenience/grocery stores, some of my favorite restaurants and bars, and a short bike or scooter ride to Golden Gardens.

Seattle visit

What a cute little place to stay! Tidy & well stocked with everything you could need & the host was very attentive & nice. (but not overly attentive)We especially enjoyed the lovely outdoor garden patio area to hang in. We too advantage of that quite a bit. Having off street parking was a real plus. If you are older, heavy set, & with slight mobility issues like us, this may not be the place for you. If not, then, we would definitely recommend this place.
