The apartment in Ballard was just perfect! We stayed for 4 nights and loved our morning runs around Golden Gardens before heading in to downtown or around Seattle for a day of exploring. Ballard was great for evening drinks and dinner and a good separation from the city centre. The apartment was a delight to stay in. Close to the bus to get into the centre and far enough out of town to enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace in the morning without the hustle and bustle. The bed was so comfy!!
