I stayed at Tara's apartment in Ballard for 2 months, July and August. She met me when I arrived and went over things with me.
The apartment is a very good size, and she has provided everything that you would want or need. The TV is a newer one. Bring a streaming device if you want to use it.
Public transportation is right out front or a short walk away. You can easily get to town, the university, and to Green Lake. Very convenient to use.
A QFC grocery store is 4 blocks away. Fred Meyer is a little further. Lots of eating places in the area. The Nordic museum is nearby and it's a short walk to the ship locks.

It is a great place and I enjoyed my stay.
