Karen's cottage is a true gem. My husband and I stayed for three nights during our recent trip to the PNW and had so much fun staying in the well appointed space. Th design details were well thought out and it has such charm and character. She even left us a chocolate bar and Voss water in the fridge...much needed after our flight and drive. Other perks are fast Wifi, bathroom amenities like shampoo and facial cleansing wipes and old school Super Nintendo! Ballard is a great neighborhood that's close to hip dining and drinking establishments. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly rrecommend commend it.
