The Captain's Cottage was a cute, comfortable, and convenient place to stay while we visited family in Ballard. While compact, there was a decent amount of storage for clothes with an armoire and chest in the living area as well as several hooks in the back hall for coats/hats. Although we didn't do any real cooking, the kitchen had plenty of space and enough pots/pans/utensils to make simple meals. We only needed the AC a couple of nights and it was adequate for the space. Communication with the Renee was great and she answered promptly when we had questions. The only downside was the tiny and awkward bathroom. There was no counter space, but a medicine cabinet and small shelf provided some space near the sink and there was additional shelving available at the other end.
