I was in my element here amidst the wonderful artwork and fresh orchids and the whole joie de vivre of this cozy nest that looks down on the hubbub and "scene" below. Ideally situated, this "pied a terre" is just a hiccup away from all the conveniences and the action/shops, and it was a fun, invigorating walk to the historic Ballard locks which where cool to see. The Golden Gardens park, where we attended a wedding reception, was a short distance and a fabulous scenic spot for picnics and all kinds of beach fun (and we had stellar summer weather!) The apartment layout is such that one can look out on the street or get away from it all in the back bedroom or on the sweet little back porch. Loved the historic aspect of the neighborhood and building, too! All in all, Ginny was a wonderful host and this was a great experience.
