Great Stay in Ballard

We had a great stay at this property. It was comfortable and very well appointed with everything we needed. The kitchen especially was terrific, with plenty of dishes, flatware, cookware etc. I needed to contact the host once during our trip and she answered promptly. Would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

The property was fantastic with a lot of charm. It was well furnished and very comfortable for our long weekend stay in Seattle. The kitchen was well furnished and had all we needed to cook and make the stay very pleasant. It’s Seattle in the fall so we did not get to enjoy the back yard as much as we would have liked but it was a large backyard that would have been great for dinners or a glass of wine. Thanks for sharing your property with our family.

Incredible location

Property has a lot to do for kids, assortment of games great home layout, next to a few parks and minimal traffic to city center but outside of the bustle. Very walkable neighborhood. There were a few issues with the property but the hostess was easy to get in touch with and fixed things immediately. Highly recommend and would stay again.
