Joel and Sarah's Ballard flat was perfect for our stay in Seattle. The place was clean, bright and comfortable. We had plenty of room for four people and the separate bedrooms are far enough apart to block out noises for plenty of privacy from your traveling companions. I had no problem finding a parking spot right out front, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Joel was very quick to respond to questions and finding the entrance to the flat around the back of their house was easy, with a nice "welcome" sign and good lighting on the path at night. The drive to downtown is a quick straight shot, and the main part of the popular and full of culture Ballard neighborhood is very nearby. Highly recommended! (Tip: walk over to Un Bien sandwiches: they are amazing!)
