Great place for a couple to stay in Ballard. The layout of the unit makes it uncomfortable to have guests hang out in (though the back yard with a hot tub would serve that purpose), but it is a great place to spend the night and get showered and organized for another day out exploring Ballard and greater Seattle. Since it is a basement unit, you get little natural light, but that didn't bother us because we didn't want a place where we were going to spend a lot of time. It was pretty perfect as a home base. Nice, clean surroundings with a comfortable bed, plenty of room for storing luggage and clothing, a really nice bathroom and shower, and a nice kitchen for basic food storage and prep. The neighborhood is also nice - a quiet residential area where we had no trouble finding on-street parking. Collin was also a good host - answered any queries almost immediately. Overall, a great experience!
