Staying at Shannon's apartment in Ballard was such a treat! We were looking for something outside downtown Seattle, but located conveniently enough so that we could easily get there via public transit. Luckily, her rental is location just a few blocks from the Rapid D Line which takes you straight downtown. However, once we realized how much there was to do in Ballard, we opted to spend a few days just checking out the area and going to the beach at Golden Gardens Park.
From the beginning of our stay, Shannon was very inviting and very accommodating with our check-in time. She showed great compassion for us when our next AirBnB accommodations fell through and had no problem extending our current reservation without a hassle. Her willingness to help made us feel very comfortable with our choice, and that we were well taken care of.
Her lower-level apartment was very cute! She supplied everything from coffee and tea to cotton swabs and disposable razors. She even had reusable shopping bags for your groceries! Were impressed with the minimalist, yet eclectic, style of the suite, and how it had everything you needed without having too much. The bed was incredibly comfortable and clean. The shower head was also a nice treat! There is so much more we could rave about but it's pretty self-explanatory in the pictures!
If you're looking for an entire apartment (that is intended as a rental and not someone's actual residence) in a great neighbourhood within walking distance to bus lines and amazing restaurants, this is the place for you. It doesn't feel like a basement suite because there are full sized windows in the living area. We also felt very safe parking, and leaving, our car on the streets. I definitely recommend Shannon as a host and hope to stay here again for our next trip to Seattle! Thanks, Shannon!
