We might have hesitated to rent a place with so many stairs and on such a busy street, but Payton's accurate descriptions and photos convinced me that we could make it work. We mostly stayed in the main floor master suite, with trips up to the kitchen for coffee and a couple of meals. Our long, tall van was too big for the designated parking spot. But just as promised, there was plenty of parking right out front. Payton gets an A+ for full disclosure and good photos. And also for making everything so easy. If we need to stay in Ballard again, we will hope this place is available.
