Good place for the price. Really nice location and friendly hosts. All the amenities you'd need for a stay in Ballard/Seattle. As others have mentioned, the entrance is from the alley, so there are sometimes noises when the trash dumpsters are emptied, but it's not too bad. There was a bit of an odor to the location, but know the city is damp and maybe that affected things a bit. One thing to note (not the fault of the host) is that my car was broken into when parking at the Swedish hospital parking lot. I'd still recommend parking there for like $8/day (or lost ticket for $8) but just make sure nothing's in there. They even took a package of water bottles that was like $2.50 smh. Overall, recommend for a great location on a budget! The ramen place nearby is really good.
