My husband, baby and two dogs stayed one night in Ballard, and Vince's studio met all our requirements. There's a cute backyard where our dogs played while my husband and I relaxed, street parking was easy to find right in front of the house, the house instructions are very straightforward, and the studio is walking distance to a little grocery store. Vince was extremely responsive when I had questions, and he checked in with us regularly. We could hear the family living upstairs, but it was never bothersome or loud. Our only regret is that we didn't have time to utilize the beautiful bathtub or the collection of board games.
