To other potential guests: I stayed here for a week and it was a perfect little hideaway for my trip to Ballard. It's just as charming as it looks in the photos. Clean towels, a comfy bed, a well stocked bathroom, kitchenette with breakfast snacks and cookware. Even in late January, the heaters are enough to stay comfortable. Some other highlights:

- Welcome note and a Theo chocolate bar. Which I later learned is local to Ballard on the same block as my company's Seattle office.
- Very little street noise at night. It's a few blocks from a main street and places to eat. But it's far enough away from the bustle that you can get a great night sleep, no problem.
- Parking was easy. All 7 days there was a spot right in front of the house.
- Guide book. So, they have put together this extensive binder that's full of maps, schedules, and personal recommendations for where to go and what to do in Seattle. It was really thoughtfully done.
- Lockable safe. I didn't have need for it, but it's another extra step they have taken for their guests.
- Fresh banana muffins! Charlotte left them hanging on the front door for me on my second morning there along with a note. So sweet!

I met Charlotte & Larry the evening I checked in, but after that, they were out of sight. They seem super cool. Thank you Charlotte & Larry!
