Loved Sara & Barry's place. Ballard is a great neighborhood (much better than staying in Downtown Seattle, in my opinion) and their place is in walking distance to restaurants, breweries, and shops in Ballard.
Their guest space is new and well laid out. It has it's own entrance that you unlock with a code, making for easy check-in/check-out. Very comfortable for this business trip. Would 100% recommend.
Hope to be back soon!
