A good place at a good price in a good neighborhood. There were only two of us, so we had plenty of room, but you often only get a bedroom for this price, and it was very nice to have a living room and patio as well. Ballard, awash in restaurants and shopping, is a 5 to 10 minute drive. Downtown Seattle is about 15 minutes. Central Magnolia is very small but quite charming and a 20-30 minute walk from the apartment. Discovery Park is a vast, wonderful green space with trails and beaches a long walk or short drive away.
