Apartment located in Ballard, walking distance to bus stops that will take you downtown for less than $3, but that will come at a price when you try to sleep! The noise from the buses and the traffic on the main road that this apartment fronts is almost unbearable when inside the apartment. The owners generously provide a white noise machine, but even with this if you are used to sleeping in a quiet environment this apartment may not be for you. If you live in a big city and like to sleep with the noise of the city life than this may not bother you. On a positive note this apartment is also within walking distance to several excellent restaurants. I would give the unit an overall “A” for location and “C” for comfort.
