Place was clean, but kitchen lacked a few essentials. There is a hot tub in the back, but the yard was not particularly inviting. Street parking was easy.

We had an incredible experience staying at the bungalow. Our house in a different Seattle neighborhood was being prepped to go on sale and we needed a place to stay. The home is cozy, the beds comfortable, the kitchen large and the neighborhood perfect. Several cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The owners of the property are extremely kind and responsive. Our stay here made what could have been a very stressful time truly relaxing and enjoyable.

Great place close to everything. Parking was convenient and felt very safe. Nice neighborhood. Large living space for friends or family to gather. Big kitchen with high quality appliances and dishware. We stayed a week and ate in/cooked many times with no problem. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean and of good quality. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place in Ballard.
