Host is very accommodating and included many thoughtful touches such as snacks, written instructions on the functional aspects of the house (temperature controls, TV, etc.), and information about the area. We were not at the property long enough to cook but the kitchen is well equipped. The location is perfect for enjoying the Ballard area and convenient to the city for those who want to explore Seattle. The home is very comfortable and full of character. Check-in process was easy and communications were very timely.
