Wonderful neighborhood. Spring is breathtakingly beautiful in Ballard. The apartment was so clean, and newly and attractively finished. Amanda is a warm and gracious host. We enjoyed wine on her large deck with friends. Great to have laundry facilities too. Note to those who need darkness to sleep: the eastern exposure is bright very early in the morning in May. I hung our coats on hangers on the door and window frames to give us a few extra hours of sleep. We didn't have a car and there were two bus lines that stopped very nearby - very convenient. Would definitely return. Thanks!
