Matt and Amy have a wonderful cottage perched in the corner of their backyard. You're <5 minutes driving (and maybe 10-15 walking) from some of the best parts of Ballard, but the cottage feels secluded in the yard. Entry and exit is fairly private as you drive down an alley and can park right in front of the cottage.
The spacious and well-lit interior is thoughtfully decorated. It's easy to cook in the kitchen and the place heated up really nicely, even on some cold Seattle days. There was plenty of hot water.
If you're looking for a place to call home for a visit to Seattle, this is a great one!
