The neighborhood was quiet and nice. Very easy to get around on Uber. There are people that live above and we were able to hear footsteps of a dog or child that kept running back and forth. We turned on the fans throughout the place to create a white noise which helped. There is no TV but there is WiFi which is great for our iPad to watch Netflix . Wish the guest bed was a little more comfortable ,the bed was really firm . Overall it was a good stay and the Ballard neighborhood was really nice.
