Barbara was a wonderful host! I cannot thank her enough for a great stay. The apartment really was a home away from home for my short stay in Seattle, just a great space overall. Barbara has really set the bar high for other Airbnb's in the future for me. She greeted me with fresh apricots and the coffee she had available in the kitchen was fantastic. She was well organized, had maps of Seattle and public transportation information, and detailed instructions for all the appliances in the kitchen. The location was perfect for me, easy to get around Seattle and the Ballard area is great too, I really enjoyed the shops and restaurants in the business district, which is only a few blocks from the apartment. The next time I'm in Seattle, there's no doubt I'd stay here again! Also, she even let me borrow her Iron and ironing board to make sure I looked presentable for the wedding I was attending, which I greatly appreciated!
