The apartment is easy to find on a quiet street with very handy parking right by the front door. We didn't walk around the area but Ballard, Fremont and their attractions are only a short drive. Quiet and comfortable garden floor suite. The place was very clean. The kitchen is basic as described but has all you need to put together a simple meal. Lisa left delicious banana bread. I didn't have access to cell service (sorry!) but our hosts did their best to get in touch with us and were there to meet us when we arrived.
