I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Ballard Cottage. The room is clean, quiet and comfortable (especially the bed). The hosts Heather and Grant could not have been more hospitable and accommodating. They are really willing to go the extra mile to make sure their guests are happy and have everything they need. They gave me great suggestions for parks to visit in Seattle and also let me know that one of the days was Smithsonian sponsored free museum day! Their recommendations really made for a great weekend. The location is prime with tons of shops and restaurants in Ballard within walking distance or a couple minutes in the car. The Sunday farmers market is great and less than a mile walk. I had a great time in Seattle thanks to Heather and Grant!
