I had a great experience at the Odd Fellow's place in Ballard. It was very private, had a full kitchen and met my needs for a ten day stay. It is, by far, one of the most reasonable "entire apartment" places available in the area and there are things that some travelers might miss. No TV for instance. And, there is not much natural light that makes it into this garden level apartment. But I found the wifi connection was sufficient to stream my handful of PBS shows on my laptop and I am out walking around and do not spend much time at "home". This a great location if you know Ballard. All of downtown Ballard is within walking distance and the apartment is only a long block away from the Rapid D busline to Lower Queen Anne and downtown. The communication with my host (whom I never saw) was very good and thorough. I would rent this apartment again.
