Charlotte and Larry were very welcoming. The studio was filled with art and everything you could possibly need. Charlotte gave us a list of recommendations after we expressed our interest in museums and art galleries. She also saved us time and frustration in regards to taking our car on the Bainbridge ferry on a weekend. We saw Seattle from an insider's view. She was also helpful with bus routes, restaurants and unusual shops. Charlotte also recommended a sidetrip when we mentioned our drive up to Bellingham. Ballard is a very happening place, and the backyard was a lovely place to retreat to after seeing the sights. One of our best AirBnB experiences!
