Ginny was a great host. She was very accommodating when my arrival time was delayed significantly (bad I-5 traffic plus some car trouble), and asked several times if I needed anything else. I also had a few nice chats with her about the neighborhood, including some parking tips I passed on to a local friend.

The apartment itself is beautiful, and right in the middle of the action in Ballard. It was bright, clean and well-stocked with linens. A bonus is that it's just 2 blocks from the Sunday farmers market.
