In 5 bullet points: best host you can imagine!!, awesome place!, very close Discovery park, 30 walking minutes from Beach, close to Downtown (via Bus) and Ballard Shopping Street. GO THERE!

Cheryl is the best host ever! She gave me a great time, and I was so glad I could spend some time together with her. She was very helpful and provided me with lots of information what to do in the neighbourhood. She was so helpful, kind and nice, just to name a few of the things: one evening she cooked awesome spaghetti for us, I could spend time with her (that was really so much fun), and when I went to the airport and a strip of my bag broke, she helped me out.
I would have loved to stay there longer and would definitely stay there again. I made a new friend, and I'm really so glad I met her. It was my first stay via Airbnb and it could not have been any better.
I searched for a room to sleep in, and when I was there it felt like coming home.

I received a very warm welcome! The room is awesome. A very soft, big nice bed with lots of pillows. I had a great sleep. The room and the neighbourhood are very quite. The room has 2 closets and I also got 2 towels. The house is beautiful, lots of art and designs. Just great!
There are Jackx (2 years old Labrador) and Barben, a very cute cat who both love to cuddle. They made my stay even better.

Cheryl provided me with detailed feedback regarding the directions to find the place. The taxi driver used his navi and he found the place easily.

Neighbourhood: plan some time to walk through the locks (you can see salmons swimming up the fish ladder), then you can walk along the coast to a very nice beach. There's also a place to rent SUPs.
The way back I walked through Ballard, lots of small arty shops (that close between 6 and 7 pm however). Plan some time for Discovery Park, that's really nice.
