We enjoyed our stay at Horace's air bnb rental in Ballard. The location was super convenient for us and our plans. Easy to get to Seattle Center via the Metro bus line (D - Rapid Ride), and a great walk from there to the Locks, good food and shopping.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and finishes in the apartment are light and pretty. It was also very nice to have a parking spot in this densely populated neighborhood.
