This apartment in Loyal Heights (Ballard) is perfect if you want to be outside of the downtown Seattle area. It's located in a quiet neighrhood of ecelectic homes, with easy access to the main streets of Ballard. If the renovation isn't new, it sure feels like it is, with a comfortable bed, two televisions (one upstairs in a sitting area by the kitchen and bathroom) and one downstairs in the bedroom. We had no trouble getting into the apartment, and although we never needed to be in touch with the hosts while we were there, we knew they were available. Upon arrival, we found a pound of coffee and Seattle chocolates, a very nice touch, and the place was spotless. When we return to Seattle, we will definitely stay here again and again.
