The Ballard loft is in a lovely location on a beautiful street loaded with craftsmen architecture. However, we would have chosen a different location based on the very low ceiling heights and extremely steep and narrow stairs.
I am 5'10" and found it difficult to move around, while the description labels 6 foot ceilings there may be one spot where this is true. The stairs are not a good fit for someone with physical issues. My aunt has a hip and bone disease and was only able to maneuver by scooting down them. The only real bedroom, bathroom and TV are downstairs, but there isn't a locking door between the main house and our guest space. The loft did have a small back room with one twin bed, next to the second main bedroom, but there are no doors separating either space from each other, or the rest of the house.
The grounds of the home are beautiful! There are tables to sit at and gardens. There are several of the friendliest neighborhood cats we've ever met and helped make our stay! The home does have a functioning kitchen with microwave, sink, coffee maker, etc., but the slanted walls make it challenging to use - but considering the McDonald's down the way was incredibly expensive you can make it work. If you're just staying for a night or two and have lots of outside activities this loft will work for you. Otherwise you might want to consider a different choice.
