You know an AirBnB is everything you’d ever want when after the trip you seriously consider immediately moving into that area! That’s exactly what happened after our stay at Kami’s. The guesthouse was so very cozy, and it was filled with much more amenities like coffee and chocolate than we thought there would be. Having a separate downstairs room with a couch and TV really feels amazing after coming home from a long day of travelling. The guesthouse is behind the main house giving you a wonderfully quiet night. The immediate neighborhood of Ballard is a fantastic, quiet, and beautiful suburb. The particular surrounding blocks around the airbnb were full of unique houses and small shops which we could have spent a whole day exploring. There was also abundant street parking (which was amazing I hate parallel parking) and we were always able to park right in front of the house. We did some shopping at a nearby Trader Joes for food, so you can’t go wrong there, and there are plenty of small restaurants, diners, and fast food places in the area as well. Getting to and from the city and the other tourist sites was extremely easy with our rental car. If you don’t have a car, the bus stop is right down the block and that will take you right into the Seattle city proper for a cheap price (around 2$ I think). We actually used the bus to travel into Seattle more than our car because it was so easy. There is also a very helpful electric-bike sharing system called “Lime” which makes travelling around the immediate areas, and around the downtown city, extremely convenient. The Ballard Locks, which are very close to the AirBnb location, was one of our favorite sites. You get to watch up close as wild salmon make their way upstream, and then freak-out when they arrive in their new environment. There are viewing windows under the water so you watch as they fight the currents to swim upstream. It really was wonderful and one of the highlights of our trip! We also highly recommend checking out the hiking options around the outskirts of the city, we checked out PooPoo Point and had a great hike and very fun view of paragliders landing right in front of us. We definitely plan on coming back to the state and making a day (or two) trip out to Olympic Forest, which we were told by a lot of locals is best experienced by camping overnight because of the long trip back and forth, I think it’s a 4 hour drive from Ballard since it’s its own large island. Other than that the Ballard location is a great spot to get to/from any place you’d want to visit. We spent about 2 days in the city and 2 days hiking/visiting attractions around the city and we were more than certain we have to come back and see more things! The people were very friendly and...
