We stayed here for about a week and really enjoyed the location. It is a short walk into downtown Ballard and having its own small parking lot was very helpful with the full streets. It is a bottom unit with a handful of stairs down so you can hear the upstairs neighbors but that is only noticeable if you are a light sleeper. This is a very cozy unit and our host (Olga) was kind enough to check in with us during our stay which we appreciated.
