We loved the peace and quiet of a place in Ballard - which has lovely homes and garden apartments with beautiful gardens, is not over-run with tourists, and has cool things to see and do - like the Ballard Locks & fish ladder and the Nordic Museum. Some creative dining in the nearby restaurants, and the Sunday Ballard Farmers Market is great, too. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. The off-street parking was very convenient for our rental car, and the outdoor area was private and spacious. Definitely on our list if we return to Seattle, as it is a beautiful neighborhood and a great base for exploring the rest of the city and the surrounding Seattle area. Thanks to Codi and Victoria for being great hosts!
