We are Airbnb Superhosts , and this was one of our favorite places we have stayed in the western US. The Ballard location is excellent, very quiet (dead end street) with views of the mountains and the peninsula. There are excellent eateries and coffee within a 5-15 minute walk, and the beach is about a 20 minute walk. The Ballard Locks and the amazing Woodland Zoo are short drives. Also, don't miss the Ballard Farmers Market on Sunday! This place is exquisitely detailed inside, newly remodeled with top-end appliances, a roomy gorgeous bathroom, soft towels, comfortable bed...all impeccably fresh and clean. We are a family of three, and the downstairs bed under the stairs was perfect for our 6 year old but would be comfy for an adult too. We would love to return to this lovely place when we are next in Seattle. Thanks, Joe!
