I cannot say enough good things about the backyard cottage. The space is so thought out and beautiful. You have a patio where you can enjoy the beautiful PNW air. The cottage is clean and truly a sanctuary. I loved that this is not right downtown; however, it is just a quick Uber ride away if you want to get downtown. The Ballard area is so cute and full of charm. There is grocery close by and everything else you might need. Bev greeted us on the first day when we checked in then checked with us again midway through our stay to make sure we there wasn't anything we were needing. She is an amazing Airbnb host. The bed is incredibly comfortable. We could not have picked a better place to stay. We will definitely be back when we head to the Seattle area.
