Errin was super responsive and helpful. We really appreciated the little touches like the bathroom soaps, plenty of towels, the coffee, the breakfast bars and basic things in the kitchen (no one wants to buy a big thing of salt for a four night stay, so small things like that make all the difference to a self-catering traveller!). The travel magazines were also helpful for suggestions. The bed was made up nicely. The hot tub, though we didn't have time to use it, was also a nice touch. The windows are effective at keeping the noise out despite it being near a very busy road. It felt peaceful at night.
The bed is up a ladder in the loft, but from the photographs we were expecting this and it added to the novelty of our stay. This is a lovely mini home and Ballard is a fantastic neighbourhood which we highly recommend visiting. It's near the water and botanical garden, vintage clothing, ice cream and coffee shops, lively restaurants and bars. It's also very easy to get into the city centre by bus. Thanks again for being a great host, Errin!
