Mario's place was very well appointed and immaculate. The private yard and central location in Ballard were especially nice. This is a great place to stay if you're going to be out and about in Ballard/Fremont and looking for a "home base". The bikes, while we didn't get a chance to use them, were an especially nice touch. Mario even took time to come and check on the bikes as we unexpectedly decided to use them. Overall, this was a great experience.
