My fiancé and I stayed with Barbara for about a month and a half when we first moved to Seattle from across the country. Her place was a great place to get to know the city and feel at home.
The AirBnB itself has everything you could ever need - from a plethora of cooking items to extra blankets and basic necessities. Barbara was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed when we checked in but then was not at all intrusive on a day to day basis. The place is about 30 minutes via bus to major downtown attractions but there’s also plenty of restaurants and nice walks in Ballard itself.
Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
