Beautiful house in a beautiful part of Ballard. It was wonderful to open the door in the morning to the smell of the ocean. At night the rabbits come out, and we even saw a coyote! (For sure the eats are good but where do they live during the day?) This is a classic old PNW home with lots of things for the kids in the basement. Kitchen had everything you needed. The TV is upstairs, and the seating isn't that comfortable, but we didn't use it much. There are stairs, so that limited where our elderly parents could go to the first floor. Also, there are only two bathrooms, so if you have a lot of people in your party, just be aware. The biggest problem, which has nothing to do with the house, per se, is that cell coverage was terrible. We have Verizon and I couldn't make phone calls out of the main bedroom. I couldn't even call upstairs when I was too lazy to climb to the second floor. This was not just an annoyance. We had some serious calls and had to go outside just to have a conversation that didn't cut off. That may not be an issue for others, but it is something to be aware of if you need good phone service.
