I stayed in Mario's studio apartment in Ballard on a recent visit to Seattle. The apartment is in an excellent location with easy access to bus routes that take you anywhere in the Seattle area. The apartment is within walking distance to the many fine restaurants, stores, cafes, shops, sites, etc. in Ballard.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and a good choice for short or long stays. The kitchen area has all the necessary utensils and pots/pans. Plenty of room for 2-3 people.
I agree with other reviews in regard to the comfort of the king size bed. Very nice. Access to bikes, exercise equipment, and washer/dryer, added to the value of the apartment.
Mario was quick to respond to questions and requests prior to and during my visit. I will definitely consider staying at the apartment during future visits. Thanks Mario.
