Shannon greeted us and filled us in about the nuances of her quaint, clean place. Her suggestions were not only spot on, but very helpful. She helped us navigate a new route to the airport as there was construction issues that we wouldn't have known about if she hadn't helped us. We highly recommend the stay at Shannon's in Ballard. It was everything as advertised and more! Who knew we would get such a kick out of listening to her albums...everything from Dave Brubeck to the "Vision Quest" soundtrack! Lot's of things like that made it a memory rather than just a place to stay.
