The space was clean and tidy when we arrived. A good amount of space and had everything we needed. Payton was very responsive and allowed us to check in an hour early when we arrived a little earlier than expected which was nice. We were also able to do a load of laundry with the laundry being right outside the room. The bed was super cozy, it was hard to get out of it! The downtown Ballard area would probably be a a half hour walk, we drove and it was maybe 5 min.
