We had a great time at Amanda's place in Ballard. We felt immensely welcome, we had a couple nice chats with Amanda and we were greeted with delicious brownies upon arrival. The room was comfortable, with lots of different surfaces to sit, lounge, and lay about on. It was also easy to feel ourselves at home there because there was a ton of storage to unpack into since the room's a dedicated guest room.

The heated floor in the bathroom is sooo good. Note that the bathroom is not in the room, but is just outside the door leading into the basement. It was really nice to have a private entrance and driveway. We were even lucky enough to get a short visit from her friendly cat!

The neighborhood is good, there's grocery stores and restaurants about a ten minute walk away. It is a bit of a hike from the core of downtown Ballard, but it's certainly walkable, and there's an easy bus for the less adventurous. Ballard is a hip Seattle neighborhood with many interesting businesses.

We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
