My wife, daughter and I are fairly experienced travelers and experienced Air BnBers, having stayed extensively in numerous AirBnBs over the last few years. However, it is without hyperbole that I say that Kelly & Bente's home in Ballard was 1 of the BEST AirBnBs we have ever stayed in, if not the best. We stayed for 10 days and would have happily stayed 3 times that amount of time. An immaculate, beautiful, cheerful home, flooded with natural light, nestled on a well-landscaped private lot on a quiet, low-traffic, tree-lined Ballard street, walking distance to absolutely everything, this was EXACTLY what we were looking for to book-end our month-long West Coast retreat. Incredible attention-to-detail had been exerted by the hosts to create the perfect Air BnB experience. We were greeted by a kitchen table filled with of a bag of black pepper potato chips, a bottle of local white wine, sparkling grape juice, Keurig K-Cups, other snacks and a well-organized binder telling us all we needed to know about both the home and the community. The remodeled, gourmet kitchen contained every utensil convenience & appliance that we would need, including even re-fillable/re-usable K-Cups for the Keurig, for Green-friendly convenience, without adding waste to the landfill. In the morning we would carry our breakfast & coffee on the trays Kelly & Bente thoughtfully provided either out to the front deck or the shaded rear patio and watch the hummingbirds at work. We would walk inside, open all the blinds & check in with our real estate Team back in Louisville, catch up on e-mails and make calls, while the sun-illuminated the whole interior and reflected off the gleaming hardwood floors. One of us would take one of the bicycles provided around the corner to Ballard Market to grab ingredients for lunch. Then, after lunch we would stroll down to Ballard or over to Green Lake to rent a paddle boat or down to Fremont. Often, though, we would just want to chill out at the house all day.... it was THAT nice! Our 11 year old daughter thought the 2 kids' rooms were the coolest things she had ever seen. Now I think we need to her room at home up in similar fashion! LOL. In the evening, the temperature would drop just enough for us to turn on the fireplace and we would retreat to the family/rec room and either watch one of the family-appropriate movies they had left for our enjoyment on DVD or read 1 of the childrens' books together. A couple of nights different bands who my wife & I wanted to see were playing at different venues in town - Kelly & Bente hooked us up with friends of their daughter's to hire as sitters to hang out with our kiddo, so we could make that happen! In fact, even though our gracious hosts were vacationing in Italy while we were staying in their home, every time we had any question or needed anything whatsoever, we...
