plenty of positives with this listing. great, friendly hosts, so nice to deal with and very accommodating. nice private location, quiet, even at night. easy walking distance to ballard market grocery store, honore (for some fantastic authentic croissants, just around the corner), the fat hen for a yummy breakfast (get there early). even walking down to the ballard farmers market on Sunday was an easy walk. house is very clean, spacious for 2 or more. all kitchen and cleaning supplies available. no need to bring laundry or dish detergent, or toilet tissue. plenty of kitchen and bedroom linens, and great working washing machine and dryer. plenty of kitchen dishes, pots and pans. food in frig, leftover from previous guests can be handy, especially if they leave icrecream and butter ! back deck extremely enjoyable with lovely potted flowers and flower garden and bird feeder (we enjoyed seeing and hearing the birds every morning). we had family visiting us, and we (there were 9 of us) all sat comfortably on the deck. the kitchen had paper plates and napkins, which was so handy because we had pizza. this is a very bright lovely sunny home, nice living room with sofa and armchairs and tv. eat in kitchen for 3, toaster, microwave and coffee maker all within easy reach. next time I'm in Seattle I know where i'm staying! thanks, Kevin and Pepe we had a great time !
