We stayed at Joel and Sarah's place for over two weeks and were very happy with the accommodations. The kitchen was well equipped and well stocked. There was ample closet space and laundry facilities in the unit. While the weather did not cooperate, the back yard patio looked very inviting. The entrance to the unit is very private but well lit. The unit is convenient to local amenities -- we had a great dinner at Brunswick and Hunt and sandwiches from Un Bien. The bus line is a block away and main street Ballard is a 20 minute walk. We highly recommend Joel and Sarah's place.
