Staying at the Ballard house was great! The home itself was one of the highlights of our trip. We weren't able to meet the hosts, but they made sure we were comfortable with every amenity we would need, including snacks, drinks, and toiletries. The home was clean and in a great location—we are looking to move to Seattle and because of this experience are now looking in Ballard. The only downside is there is a lot of sleeping space but only one bathroom, which is attached to a bedroom. If you're going with a group, be aware of that. Other than that, the hosts and home were both perfect.
