The unit is a small ground floor apartment on a residential street. You can easily walk to anything you might want or need, including shops, great restaurants, groceries and pharmacy, parks, etc. We took an Uber to get to downtown Seattle for about $15. The apartment itself is quite small but very comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had lots of hot water. I'd recommend this place for couples or individuals interested in doing lots of walking around Ballard.
