This is a great place if you want to be close to the UW, the zoo, downtown and of course the Ballard area. Nights are quiet here and it is extremely safe. Modern amenities make this place a dream, along with its well-stocked kitchen with just about everything you'd need to get started. A quick 2-block walk to the Take 5 Urban Market can round out a meal for you, too, or just a bottle of wine. Lovely place.
