This was a great place to stay in Ballard. It was clean and quiet, but like all cities light pollution is rampant, so if you're light sensitive, bring an eye mask. I never saw the owner and only 2 other people the whole 8 nights I was here for work. The Ballard pool across the street was a great find, as I got to go swimming before I went to work. The tennis courts across the street were an awesome place to run my dog while I was here as well. Great accoutrements abounded in this little place. The coffee maker was sweet. the place had everything I needed.
