If you are looking to stay in Ballard (or outside of the main part of Seattle), this is a wonderful stay! We ended up renting a car but there is a bus line that would take you into downtown. The apartment has a car port for parking or street parking is plentiful. The location was quiet at night, felt safe, and located in a nice neighborhood. There were cafes and other food nearby for us to walk to, or it was a quick 15-20 minute drive to most places in Seattle. And overall Kim was a great host - very responsive to our messages and the apartment felt very clean when we arrived. We would stay here again.
