10/10 - there was nothing to make our stay better. Theo and Maria were excellent hosts and the basement apt was perfect for us and our little dog. There's a kitchen and dining room with living room but they have decorated in a way that makes it feel like 2 separate spaces. Genius! They have stocked the kitchen with everything you need to cook and relax outside in the yard. Maria has made sure there are plenty of towels, linens, spoons and bowls! It's those things that make then Superhosts. As far as location, Theo and Maria's place is perfect. We had dozens of top rated restaurants and breweries within walking distance. Downtown Ballard was really neat too. We've been to Seattle before so we skipped the touristy things this time and spent more time hanging out in neighborhoods like Ballard, Queen Anne and Capital Hill. We were so close! Theo and Maria will be our #1 choice on our next trip.
