This place was super cozy! Check in/out was super easy and Scott communicated with us great. There is actually a lot of light in the basement. It has everything you need, comfy bed, fully stocked kitchen. There was a the low beam they mention in the listing, but my 6’2 husband had no issues with it and remembered to duck. It is only a 10 minute walk from downtown Ballard and there are coffee shops, bars, and grocery stores along the way as well. We would definitely return!
