Gerard's place was just wonderful, and every interaction with Gerard himself was a pleasure. His property featured a private room, en suite bathroom, and balcony above from the host - very comfortable and private, and in a GREAT location in Ballard: just a few blocks away from everything the neighborhood has to offer. Gerard as a host was so welcoming and accommodating - he picked us up (delicious!) fresh baked goods in the mornings from a local bakery, was available for any questions and always responded promptly. He was also kind enough to invite us to a BBQ he was having - we just felt very welcomed and taken care of while totally having our privacy. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to check out Ballard or just having a comfy base for Seattle exploration!! (Thanks, Gerard!)
