The location is great if you want to spend time in the neighborhood, as it is close to everything that Ballard has to offer.
The older home is well maintained and worked well for our one night stay. Easy parking was available immediately in front of the house, so we didn't have to use the parking spots in the rear.
The top unit was occupied while we were there, so we heard footsteps early in the morning. The noise wasn't much of an issue, but it did force an early start to the day.
I would consider the house again if Ballard is our Seattle destination.
