This Ballard location provides proximity to amenities and the city while being in a very pleasant walkable neighborhood. This is a cozy clean vintage decorated space at the back of an old house on a beautiful big lot. It is a relaxing cozy space ( big armchair in bedroom!), but for me the often creaky floors in the house and awareness of the host family were distracting as I live in space in which I am rarely aware of others. ( This" friendly " understandable background noise at Diana's might make no difference or be a delight to others! )
I enjoyed contact with Diana (host) who was very responsive to my requests/communications- which I appreciated as it created a "flow" to my stay.
