We wouldn’t hesitate to book the place again.
The location cannot be beat. We came to eat our way through Ballard, which we did. There are a plethora of incredible restaurants all within walking distance. Coffee, dinner, bars, sights, you name it. Really you can walk to everything you want. We didn’t cook in the house, but it’s very set up to do so. The kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies, oils, spices, fresh ginger, etc. The bathroom was set up with lots of toiletries in case you forgot anything.
We absolutely loved the outdoor area to relax with a glass of wine after we put our 20 month old to bed. The host has a grill, which again we didn’t use because we came specifically for some very well known restaurants in the area. The outdoor seating was enormous with spots for shade or sun and uncovered or covered to escape the rain and still sit outside. Someone previously reviewed this area as hazardous, but that definitely wasn’t the case..well maybe if you were drunk in a wheelchair, which I guess could very well be the case.
The linens and beds were very comfortable. The house is eclectically decorated with tons of interesting art. The place seems much larger than it did in pics. The host was very sweet when we got to chat with him upon our arrival. Thanks for a lovely stay!
