Karen's place was perfect for our visit to Seattle. It's a very beautifully done, well lit converted garage apartment with all the basics and then some. Clean and comfortable, beautiful yard, quiet neighborhood and easy access to main arterials into Green Lake, central Ballard, and downtown. Karen was a great host who was accessible, responsive, and friendly, yet we still felt like we had the place to ourselves. I'd highly recommend this property, as long as you promise me you'll be a good guest :)
