Let me start by saying, if we ever come back to Seattle, we would 1000% check to see if this unit was available as we really really loved it. We loved Lee's place! Not only was it in the exact neighborhood we wanted to be in, but it was also very nice, clean, and comfortable. This was our Babymoon and Lee made it that much more special by leaving us a cute Seattle onesie and a for our baby boy! The rooms were comfortable, the 3rd floor bed was very nice, and the fixtures and all of the furnishings were wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked, it had in unit laundry, and having two full bathrooms proved to be great. Ballard is a pretty strange but fun place. Lots of fun shops and restaurants and it felt like we were a short drive away from everywhere we wanted to go. Lee also is SUPER responsive and took care of any questions we had way faster than I would have expected. Felt like we were at a hotel getting instance responses to questions.
One quick note of caution that we didn't find to be too problematic but might be helpful for others.
1) "Suburbanites" be aware that parking in Ballard is chaos. There doesn't seem to be any rules and cars are just strung about everywhere. You do have to park on street which is completely free everywhere in the neighborhood with some slight restrictions. Finding parking was the slight problem for us. Out of the 7 times we had to find parking during our stay, only one time did we have to REALLY hunt for a spot before finding one. A few times we were able to park right outside of the unit which was great! If you have ever lived in an urban area, you won't be bothered by it. But if you are use to the wide open spaces of the burbs, just take note that it potentially could be a slight challenge.
Thanks so much Lee!
