It was icy and cold in Seattle during our time there but the apt was warm, cozy and walkway leading up to door was cleared of snow and ice. I need to mention this as the rest of Seattle was one big ice sheet everywhere. The bed was super comfy and we enjoyed the food s as me drink around the corner at the rupee bar. Staying in Ballard was a great choice and the condo apt was perfect for the 2 of us.
