My mom and I visited my son who lives in Ballard. Shimon's place was the ideal location for a family gathering. We had all we needed to cook, my son enjoyed the great TV with easy access to streaming and my mom and I enjoyed the great mattresses - slept really well as this is a quiet residential area, very close to the Ballard fun. Great shower, great coffee and tea. Definitely a must stay if you come to Ballard!
