For being in a big city, this spot was so quiet at night! We stayed at the top floor of Vince’s place and were very pleased with it. He does mention this in the listing but just want to reiterate it’s more like a hostel with private rooms and bathrooms, there’s about 8 units and a shared kitchen and laundry downstairs. For light sleepers, don’t get freaked out if you hear things in the night! Only downside to this was sometimes other renters were loud at night coming and going from the building, but it was never an ongoing issue and Vince has clear rules about quiet hours. We were pleased with the walkability and things to do, Ballard is definitely a great spot to walk around (have to see the Ballard Mallards just 7 min walk away). Parking was never too much of a hassle, we were able to find street parking 1-2 blocks away every night and we stand Fri-Sun night. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
