Chris was a fantastic host. He was available immediately online before, during, and after our visit. Our stay was perfect. We are a family of four (including 2 teens) and the place and location were just right. We were able to spread out - even into the airstream that was air conditioned on a very hot evening in Seattle. Chris provided lots of lovely snacks. We particularly loved the choices of coffee makers and coffee! Ballard is a great neighborhood, too. Don't forget the late night lava cake and the farmer's market.
