This rental is one step up from camping. What a miserable experience this stay was. Depicted as a wonderful Ballard home, it was actually a dark and dreary basement without any airflow. It is not clean, and the bathroom has significant mold in it. There are pockets of dirt everywhere and it looks like they attempted to paint over mold. The pictures must have been photoshopped because they are not accurate. I took plenty of pictures to portray the reality. Many light fixtures are either missing bulbs or the bulbs don’t work including the mirror lights in the bathroom. There is a keypad on the door which does not actually lock. We locked and double checked it each time and when we returned it was not locked. The landlord insisted they did not enter. We don’t know if they actually did enter, and we had no privacy, or the door was unlocked every time we left the apartment. We should have complained and made other arrangements, but we were in town for a mini family reunion with our father who is aging and not doing well. He was staying in a hotel. We stayed in Ballard so that we could explore the neighborhood he grew up in. We did not have time to lodge a complaint or find another place to stay. Many outlets had no cover. We could only breathe if we left the windows open. The landlord had a dog that was in the backyard barking at us and with the windows open it was frightening. The area in front of the door was littered with trash and leaves. The lights outside the building didn’t work either. It was impossible to find the house when I arrived at 11 PM. The only amenities included one set of towels, lotion, shampoo, chips and one serving of coffee. We had to buy sugar, cream, more coffee. There were no wine glasses. No waste basket in the bathroom and the toilet seat was broken. On Saturday evening the neighbors were having an outdoor party that lasted until 3 AM and we did not get any sleep.
