We really enjoyed staying here. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. It was not an easy walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shops but it was a short drive to interesting shops and restaurants in Ballard and Fremont. We really didn't know anything about the Seattle neighborhoods but were really glad that we decided to stay in Ballard. It was so much nicer than staying in downtown or a more touristy area. The bathroom was awesome! We are big heated floor fans now. And it was great to have access to the washer/dryer.
