Alan and Katence provided an excellent Seattle experience for my family. The house is well located in Ballard, near the locks, zoo, and the restaurant areas of both Fremont and Ballard. There are solid local restaurants and grocery shopping within walking distance of the house. The layout of the house maximizes space really well and can suitably accomodate a family of four. The hosts were very responsive to our requests. For example, we were hosting some friends for dinner and we realized that the propane tank in the grill was empty. A simple text and thirty minutes later the propane tank was filled! We had a neat experience with a neighbor, when we asked him for directions to a store to buy a nighlight for the kid's room, the guy just gave us a spare one from his own home. Seattle at its best!
