We enjoyed our stay at Barbara's place. It was private and clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The heated floor was a treat and kept the house cozy. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good water pressure. They had a water filtered pitcher and some coffee to carry us through the first couple of mornings, and there were spices and oil in the cabinet and plenty of kitchen pots and pans, although we didn't cook. It was cold and a bit rainy, but the patio would have been nice to enjoy in better weather and felt private. The garden was pretty to look at from the inside, and the home wasn't dark like some daylight basements can be. The owners live upstairs with a dog, but we weren't bothered by the minimal noise and weren't awakened in the morning. The location was walkable to downtown Ballard and was convenient for us as it was close to where our daughter lives. We would definitely stay here again!
