Alice's place is wonderfully located in a quiet Seattle neighborhood. With that said, you will have no shortage of things to keep you occupied, as it is walking distance from downtown ballard (via the recently reopened ballard locks), right next to Discovery Park, and a short bus ride away from downtown (it took me about 25 minutes to get to T-Mobile park during rush hour).
Most of the restaurants on Magnolia are about mile south of this Airbnb, but it's a nice easy walk through the neighborhood. Damoori kitchen is the one restaurant that's really nearby, which has delicious Lebanese cuisine and also acts as a specialty market for Lebanese kitchen goods.
I walked the park everyday for a month and still come upon new trails toward the end of my stay. it's huge! There is a lot of good bird watching, walking trails, and open fields for dog owners.
I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend Alice's place!
