Shannon's apartment was an absolute dream. It was one of our favorite places we've stayed on Airbnb - and we've been traveling with it for years! What we loved most about the apartment were all of the incredibly thoughtful touches that make it feel like home: the fuzzy socks to keep your feet warm, extra towels for the shower, the coziest bath robes, shampoo/conditioner, a hairdryer (!!), a very well equipped kitchen, travel magazines, a lovely stereo to listen to music, a heater when we needed it, an incredibly comfortable bed - and so much more. It made it so easy for us to feel like we lived here. We also felt that the apartment was large (we come from NYC!) - so plenty of space to spread out and feel like you have space if you're traveling with a partner. The bedroom door also closes shut which was a nice feature since I wake up earlier! Did I mention the shower was a dream? It's a delightful rain shower head.

The neighborhood is perfectly quaint and exactly what we were looking for. We loved Shannon's recommendations for food in the area - our favorites were The Fat Hen (must go to for brunch!) & Delancey and Essex (for pizza & drinks). We rented a car, however, it wouldn't be necessary if you didn't have one. There are great shops and restaurants in Old Ballard as well.

This is the perfect place to stay if you're looking for somewhere in Seattle that's a stones throw from the city, but where you can cuddle up at night and feel at home. We recommend this place so highly and would absolutely stay again.
