Staying at Drew's was so easy. Check in was a breeze that we could do on our own time. Apartment was very clean with great amenities and wonderful touches of hospitality. We were about a 20-30 minute walk from both Green Lake and downtown Ballard, and when we wanted to go to Fremont, Drew happily lent us two bicycles. Only thing that surprised us was that it is on a busier corner in Ballard, so road traffic noise started early. Otherwise, this is a topnotch place to stay within Seattle.
