Ballard Bliss! 3BR/2BA with Garden + Office

JohnRating, 5 stars5 days ago

This was a lovely, comfortable home....very clean, very welcoming. Plenty of space so that the children could entertain themselves in the basement while the adults relaxed on the patio or in the living room. There was a fruit stand within walking distance which we enjoyed visiting every morning for delicious fresh produce. What a treat! We appreciated that any questions we had were answered quickly and clearly by the hosts. Arrival and exit instructions were clear and easy to follow. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook should we find ourselves traveling to Seattle in the future.

New Modern Apartment in Ballard

WilliamRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Went to Ballard to visit friends and work remotely for a week. Seeing as there are only two hotels in the Ballard area, Airbnb was the way to go. G's unit is perfect for one or two people to stay. The unit is within a short walking distance of so many things, including Trader Joe's and LA Fitness, and a 15-20 minute walk of everything Ballard has to offer in shopping, bars, and restaurants. The area is still being developed, but I always felt safe walking around at night. G was very helpful when there were minor issues with the air conditioning unit and was kind enough to let me drop off my luggage before check-in. A+!
