We stayed for 2 nights in Ballard with our 7 month old daughter. Drew's place was nice and close to the Woodland park zoo. We also enjoyed eating lots of good food in the Ballard area, the NW market st area had lots of options and were only a 10-15 minute drive. Downtown Seattle was also only a 15-20 minute drive away.
The place is very neat and tidy. we had a very comfortable stay.
