We had a great 5 night stay here! The first three nights it was just us adults, and then our two sons in their 20's joined us for the rest of our stay. Super location! Ballard is a fun place to be, great bars, coffee shops, restaurants, farmers market, and sight seeing. We enjoyed riding bikes around town - downtown is kind of far, but riding from the apartment or from the locks to the waterfront is not too bad and there are great trails most of the way. We didn't have a car but had no problem getting around between buses, Uber, and Lime bikes. The kitchen is a little small, as is the kitchen table, if you're planning on doing any major cooking, but is perfect for making breakfast and lunch and simple meals. I'm glad the boys shared the sofa bed and not me. They didn't mind, but I would have been a little uncomfortable. It's also a bit noisy in the front room, being right off a commercial street with lots of bars. But the bedroom itself is in the back and is very comfortable and super quiet, with a really nice balcony porch outside. Thank you Ginny - I would definitely stay again if I am ever back in Seattle.
