We enjoyed our stay at the Ballard Bunkhouse. Chris has furnished the interior with a mix of period and modern items to achieve a balance between the building's historical character and comfort. He went to great lengths make us feel welcome. We arrived early and he showed us around before the official check-in (we then went to Golden Shores park until the house was ready for us). He left a range of drinks and snacks (including chocolate!) and other packaged food items in case the need arose. We made good use of the outdoor seating area and new deck, which will be even better when fully finished. There is some sound transference from the upper level guest accommodations, which usually wasn't much of an issue. The house is conveniently located a short walk from the Ballard restaurant district, and we enjoyed trying some of them and checking out the nearby botanical garden, locks, and fish ladder. Great location for exploring a new area of Seattle we hadn't seen before. The allocated parking is very helpful.
