Nicole's place is just perfect. It was so cozy and comfortable for relaxing after long days out in the cold and wet winter weather of Seattle. Her place is very close walking distance to the shops of Ballard and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown (though very central to be able to get to other parts of the city easily). Nicole was very quick to respond, very welcoming and a delight to chat with when we met her during our stay. Her upstairs tenants are very respectful and make sure to be mindful of you during the nighttime hours. Overall, we loved it and would gladly stay again!
