The host was able to meet my friend and me for check-in and hand us the keys as we entered the building. The place was just as described. It was centrally located, and it was an easy walk to all the restaurants and bars. It was quiet, and we had no trouble parking (we also parked on a weekend, so during the week might be different/more strict with the parking police). Also, this place would be a great short walk to the Farmer's Market in Ballard on Sundays!
