We stayed at The Hummingbird Hideaway for 11 nights. The location was excellent with easy walks to Ballard’s many fine restaurants and a QFC grocery store. The apartment was spotless. The kitchen was well organized and equipped. We would definitely stay there again.

I could easily live for months at Nicole and Kurt's apartment. It is a generous space, with a good-sized living/dining room, a good-sized kitchen with everything you could need to prepare your meals, and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The neighborhood is wonderful and easy to get around--walking distance to all the great Ballard restaurants and shops.

Very clean and well equipped property. Host couldn’t have been nicer. Easy walk to several great coffee shops. Enjoyed visiting a new grandbaby, but coming from the Midwest, we never get used to the prices or the “easy street parking” in Seattle… that’s on us…

Beautifully decorated and fully equipped apartment. Worked really well for a few night stay visiting family in safe neighborhood within walking distance of shops and restaurants. An FYI that this is a basement level apartment - I closed windows for more privacy so had less light than the photos in listing.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your lovely comments about the apartment, its decor, amenities, and our wonderful Ballard location! We’re so glad it worked well for your visit. Our apartment is a lower-level space, as shown in our listing photos, with windows throughout that provide natural light. We certainly understand that guests may prefer to close the windows for additional privacy, which can naturally reduce some of the light. We appreciate your feedback and are delighted that you otherwise enjoyed your stay!

It was the best vacation rental we have ever had! The flat was so cozy and lovingly appointed, with an incredibly generous amount of supplies. Nicole & Kurt were very pro-active in making us feel comfortable, going the extra mile to be accommodating with our special requests. The neighborhood is fantastic -- gardens, shops, pubs, live music venues, restaurants within walking distance. Truly a "crème de la crème" experience !
