My stay at Wendy's Ballard Garden Flat was great, even better than the description and pictures reveal. The flat itself is comfortable and really is an appealing place to spend time - bathroom is really contemporary and has great lighting making getting ready in the morning a pleasure. The real bonus here is the fabulous outdoor space. Rain or shine you can use it as it's adequately covered and there's a heat lamp for chillier nights. I got lucky and the sun was out in the late day making it the perfect place to relax prior to heading out for the night.

I had asked Wendy for suggestions for places to dine in Ballard while visiting and specified I would be dining alone so a bar would be preferred. She hit it spot on by suggesting San Fermo. In the end it was such a beautiful night that I chose to dine outside in the patio area.

Thanks Wendy!
