Cary's Tiny Dream House was perfect for us. First because it is a 90-second walk to our son's house, and second because it was a homey, comfortable, and extremely well-appointed place.
We stay in a lot of AirBnB's in Ballard and all over the nation too, so it is my policy to not give 5 stars unless the place has a magnifying, well-lit makeup mirror, but I am making an exception here. This tiny house deserves the 5 stars ,as the design and amenities were well thought out for a guest's comfort.
The bed, although a Murphy bed, is super comfortable. We did not need to close the bed - and indeed, we never did - to have enough room to move about.
The kitchen has everything that one needs to make breakfast or any meal, really, including the cutest baby dishwasher. Everything is nice quality too.
The bathroom is well designed and well lit (for the aforementioned makeup) with a very good shower, good water pressure, hot water that lasts and good towels.
The wi-fi is good, as are the TV options. It's also great to be able to wash and dry clothes and hang them immediately out of site of the living space.
We were there in winter, so it was dark and rainy most of the time, but there are lots of windows which probably make it nice and bright during the summer. I might worry about the extreme hot days that Seattle has experienced in the last few summers, since there is no AC, but there are at least 2 fans provided.
As far as communicating, Cary is extraordinarily responsive as well as friendly and helpful. We already reserved the place for our next two visits to Ballard. Thank you, Cary! See you soon!
