This is a beautiful home with everything you need for a comfortable getaway. I honestly have not slept as well as I did here in years! We had wine and cheese on the roof deck and cozy reading time on raining afternoons in from of the fire.
The neighborhood is quiet but a short walk from tons of restaurants, bars and shops. We loved exploring the Burke-Gilman Trail all the way beyond UW (we brought bikes) and we walked across the canal into Discovery Park. SO much to do/explore in Ballard. It's a gem of a neighborhood!
