This property was exactly what we were looking for! We were attending my sister-in-law's wedding and all festivities were being held in Ballard. This apartment was centrally located for us and right on the D line bus that is a straight shot into Seattle. 5 minute ride to the Ballard Market, 20 minute ride to Seattle City Center and half an hour to Pike Market. We were traveling with our 6 year old son, so although many places might be walkable for an adult, little legs plus some hills doesn't make for a happy camper. Uber cars are available in the area and we never had to wait more than 10 minutes for one.
The apartment is spacious for a 1 bedroom. Our son slept in the bedroom, and we slept in the living area on the queen bed. There is also a sofa that converts into a bed. Our son slept there one night and thought it was comfortable.
The sounds from the street out front might be loud for people who are not used to city living. Traffic and street sounds died down around 11. The bedroom is definitely more quiet.
The apartment was extremely clean. The white bedding was soft and was a comforting choice because you can't hide dirt on white bedding. It is evident that the owners take pride in their property.
The owners were quick to respond to questions before we arrived and were extremely accommodating when we needed to add a day to our stay.
We had one additional guest staying with us for 1 night, and the only suggestion I would make would be just a bit more glassware. There were only 2 wine glasses, so we made do with coffee cups.
We would definitely stay at this property again and would highly recommend it to a couple or a family.
