Let me begin by saying I have used Airbnb all across the country and while I have had many positive experiences staying at Giovanna's home has been my best so far. Not only was it an absolutely adorable apartment, Giovanna and her husband went above and beyond in so many ways that just made our stay amazing. Just a few examples of the little extra touches: elegantly decorated rooms full of fun art, coffee! good coffee!, an array of salon hair products, plenty of books to flip through. Each room is independent from the others with its own climate control and doors so it's also great if you are traveling with others and want your privacy. And the beds are very comfortable! I felt nothing but warm and welcome throughout our entire stay. I couldn't recommend staying here enough. Being a former Seattle resident, I would also say Ballard is my favorite neighborhood; it is a great place to start when exploring the city and the location of Giovanna's apartment is absolutely perfect. The windows look right down on old Ballard and we really felt immersed in the neighborhood. My friends and I loved it and we hope to be back soon.
