Monika was an amazing host, replied in a timely manner and provided all my needs. You’ll enter through the garage and laundry room to the beautiful remodeled basement. There is a cat upstairs, just keep door closed, but he was nice company for an evening and very chill. The hosts are very respectful and aware that somebody is staying below them. My stay in north Seattle/Ballard area was memorable thanks to them! Best part was the old hand crank German coffee grinder ;)
