Cute daylight basement apartment with contemporary touches and lots of convniences- I stayed F-Th and found the location very convenient to where I needed to be in Ballard. The apartment can get a bit chilly but the wall heaters do the trick once the sun goes down. I briefly met Joel and he seemed very pleasant. The home and landscaping were well maintained and it was a pity it was either too cold/rainy or I was too tired to make use of the patio, fireplace and grill. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was very convenient and much appreciated. The full kitchen was well stocked. Heed Joel and Sarah's words about noise- it is a basement and you can hear walking and the murmuring of voices from above, they also have little ones so that's something to consider if you don't enjoy kid noises (I have two myself so I didn't mind at all but your mileage may vary). The bed I slept in was very comfortable and the linens and blankets were soft and warm. Overall I would recommned a stay here.
