We have stayed in three other Airbnb locations on multiple occasions in the Ballard area over the past three years. All were clean, well appointed, and offered good amenities. The Earl Carriage House, however, is in a class by itself. It offers high quality construction, a range of amenities (custom robes, slippers, a full range of snacks including fresh orange juice, sparkling water, a bottle of wine, toiletries, Marshall Bluetooth speaker, fully equipped Kuerig coffee maker, etc. ), an absolutely fantastic walk in shower, and most importantly for us Southerners, central heat and air. The location in Ballard is perfect, close to restaurants, shopping, and a nearby park with great views of Puget Sound. If we could give this place more than 5 stars, we would do so in a heartbeat.
