We stayed a whole 5 weeks at Theo and Maria's! (4 plus an extension they were nice enough to accommodate) We cannot recommend it highly enough. The apartment is quiet, the garden is lovely, and they were very nice and extremely helpful.

I think the apartment is larger than it looks like it is from the pictures. There's a great list of recommendations for the neighborhood and good food and bars in easy walking distance.

It was easy to get our laundry done, a great space to cook and relax, and an amazing homebase for our trip back to the US. Definitely would recommend Theo and Maria to anyone who wants to spend some time in Phinney/Ballard.
