My husband and I stayed at Barbara's place VERY last minute for a10th wedding anniversary vacation (we had planned to go to Sonoma, CA, but needed to change our plans due to the recent wildfires).
Barbara was very responsive and accommodating from the beginning - quick to respond to messages, and eager to check in to make sure everything was going well.
The apartment was cozy, nicely decorated, and well stocked with what we needed. If there was anything we needed, Barbara was very responsive via text.
The location is fantastic - we actually stayed in the neighborhood on a family trip last summer, and were eager to come back to the Ballard neighborhood. It's a really nice area- quiet, safe neighborhoods, close to fun shops and restaurants, and accessible to downtown/other areas.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge - there's only street parking, and just on one side of the street, but we were usually able to park right in front of the apartment.
Thank you, Barbara, for sharing your lovely apartment with us, and making sure our quickly rescheduled visit was a good one!
