Andy is a fine host and his and Parv's guest house is a clean and cozy place to stay in one of Seattle's beautiful neighborhoods. The house is about a 1/2 mile away from the bus stop and a mile away from downtown Ballard where all the restaurants, bars, music venues and Ballard Coffee Works are. So enjoy the hilly walk or rent a car. It is also close to the Ballard locks and the water. Overall this place is a great way to experience what it's like to live in Seattle.
