Christie's place is exactly what we were looking for..., excellent value, clean, cheery, and stove top and oven for making holiday goodies. The locale couldn't have been better as we have family and friends in the Seattle/Ballard area. During our stay the sun came out and we enjoyed a neighborhood walk to Sunset Park. Just beautiful! Love the "local recommended establishments" mapped out on the chalk wall! We hope to return to Christie's place soon!
