Shannon's place is a little gem somewhere between the Ballard and Phinney Ridge neighborhoods, close to Greenwood, the Green Lake and Ballard Locks. It's a residential, quiet neighborhood with some really nice eateries and coffee shops in walking distance. There are a few bus lines some blocks away which bring you to downtown in about 30 minutes. The place itself is very nicely decorated and has a lot of personal, comfy charm. The kitchen had everything I needed (there's no dish washer, Keurig, or microwave, though) including some really nice vintage style glasses and bowls and a broad variety in spices for cooking. There's a beautiful garden on the property with peach, plums, grapes - about to be ripe and harvested. I would definitely stay here again.
