Just returned from a wonderful trip to Seattle's delightful Ballard neighborhood. We chose Kelly & Bente's cozy & comfortable cottage as it is a fully detached unit less than two blocks from our son & daughter-in-law's home. What a jewel! It was a perfect retreat. Quiet, well maintained, and containing all the amenities of home. We were originally concerned about the lack of air conditioning but even with daytime highs in the 80s, we were cool & comfortable at night. The cottage is within easy walking distance to pubs, restaurants, delis, parks, etc. & close to the eclectic historic downtown Ballard retail district. Downtown Seattle is an easy & inexpensive Uber ride away. Kelly & Bente are great hosts who succeed in making their guests feel appreciated and truly welcome in their home. We look forward to returning to their cottage next spring.
