The Ballard Garden Apt is all it’s described to be. We immediately felt at home and really did not lack for anything during our one month stay. Barbara is obviously a very experienced host and made us feel welcome in the neighborhood. The apartment was clean and efficiently equipped for daily living, meaning it had all the needed well thought out high quality furnishings yet did not feel cluttered. Parking near the apartment was no problem but walking around Ballard from this location is definitely a must. The coffee shops, restaurants, stores and the huge Sunday farmer’s market are all right there. The location is convenient for driving to other local attractions as well. The area around the apartment felt safe and secure so no worries there either. We miss it already and look forward to returning.
