Brown's House was exactly what I was hoping for and expecting...a beautiful, charming home-away-from-home that was cozy to snuggle in on a rainy morning, but spacious enough to stretch out in. The cottage looks just as it does in the photos, it was spotless and well stocked with toiletries, bread, coffee, eggs and fruit, and the bed was very comfortable. We never got to meet Diana but found that from the first moment I contacted her to the day we checked out she was prompt and friendly in her communication. (Her sweet kitty acted as a delightful ambassador, greeting us in the garden upon arrival). Check in and check out were both easy and hassle-free. The surrounding neighborhoods of downtown Ballard and Phinny Ridge were both charming destinations in of themselves, and the cottage was ideally located for day-trips to Bellingham, Snoqualamie and Bainbridge Island, as well as an easy in & out of downtown Seattle. We take a short trip to the Seattle area annually, this was the first time we stayed in an Airbnb and I would not hesitate a moment to stay in the Browns house again next year.
