Jays place was perfect for our stay in Ballard. It was so close to a multitude of shops and restaurants making it easy to walk mostly everywhere we wanted to go. This place had everything we needed and Jay was very responsive with any questions we had. This place definitely gets a five star review, however, I do have to mention that the walls are extremely thin here and on a few different occasions found it hard to sleep as you can hear every sound from the unit above. Light sleepers be warned that you most likely will have a difficult time here. Barring the noise issue, our stay really was great.
