We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Payton's unit. The single family home is clean and modern with plenty of large windows providing welcomed light (in the darker Seattle winters especially). The space was perfect for our family with a large master bedroom and a second room for the kids (bedrooms were on the top floor). Both beds were were very comfortable, and Payton added plenty of nice touches throughout making the unit feel like a home away from home. Where it was a little too damp during our stay in Seattle to enjoy it, there is also a nice sized yard in the back to relax or have kids run around. The kitchen was fully stocked making it easy for us to prepare home cooked meals and the addition of a high chair was perfect for our youngest.
The location itself is excellent, being located just far enough away from the main part of Ballard to be quiet and safe while an easy drive or short walk to cafe's, grocery stores and even the downtown (about 20-25 minutes walk or 3-5min drive to the core). There are also two great playgrounds within an easy walk for those traveling with young children. Driving to downtown Seattle was also a breeze, generally taking just around 15minutes.
