We had a bit of difficulty checking in as the lock was malfunctioning and we couldn’t get in. We messaged several times with no immediate response and I ended up having to call the host to get secondary instructions to enter the property. It was also raining being that it’s Seattle. The entire ordeal lasted about 15-20 min longer than it probably should have, so we were cold and wet by the time we got in, but ultimately the host was very friendly and helpful in getting us in. I would recommend this place if you’re needing a quick place to crash for one or two nights, a business trip or if you travel light. While we only stayed there for one evening, it was at the end of a longer trip so we had huge heavy suitcases which wasn’t ideal for lugging up two flights of stairs to the second bedroom. Overall it was clean and a warm bed and in a fantastic location, very central to everything in Ballard.
