Sara and Barry's place is awesome. They have managed to blend a private space with a lively, hip neighborhood. The space was kid friendly, but would also be perfect for adults. There are restaurants all around, but we chose to get food at the grocery store (there are 3 within walking distance) and eat in the park. I recommend Safeway for food on the go. We enjoyed walking to the many breweries around, which Ballard is known for. Sara and Barry gave us privacy, but were available immediately by text or phone if we needed something.
The space was immaculate and super easy to use.
Also, its right on a bus line, and therefore super easy to get downtown.
