Summary: My husband and I were up in Seattle with my parents and inlaws for graduation so it was great to have a house with two bedrooms on the main floor, and only a few steps getting into the house. The house was a little tight with my dad using a walker but still workable. The location was great for people watching and going to the farmers market. The house had everything we needed and I appreciate the whole bean coffee and press!

Summary: Well equipped. Great location in Ballard neighborhood. Very clean. Good parking. Easy checkin and good instructions. Can walk or short drive to some nearby restaurants, grocery stores, microbreweries and pubs. Short commute to Seattle Waterfront, MW Medical Center (our primary reason for being in Seattle) and Lake Union (except at rush hour!) Comfy beds with 2 bathrooms was handy for our group of four. Kitchen had everything needed. Laundry facilities were helpful for 2 in our family.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the Ballard Birdhouse. It’s an older residence that has retained a lot of its original character and charm. We were very comfortable there, it had everything we needed and the location was convenient. My daughter lives within walking distance and we also walked to the farmers market. The host, Bryan, was extremely accommodating and gracious. Thank you!

Summary: This is a great property! We really enjoyed our stay. The coffee/tea bar was already well stocked, which was great for arrival. Off street parking was also a big plus. The small gym in the basement was also an added bonus. You are close to almost everything in Ballard. We would definitely stay here again. The host was also very responsive. Thank you for your hospitality!

Summary: We loved this house and hopefully will be lucky enough to return. There were just two of us, but we easily could have had more. The house itself is warm and comfortable with a great kitchen, cozy living area, comfy beds with good linens and great showers! The parking worked great and the neighborhood is very sweet. We had a little confusion with the locked entry which the owner responded to immediately and kindly. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Summary: We chose this location because it was very close to my son’s house. Not very close to downtown but perfect for our needs. My wife was not very impressed because the house was old but we soon came to realize that this was much more comfortable and cozy for the three of us. Two BIG pluses: the upstairs bedroom with a private bath gave my teenage son plenty of privacy. Also the basement was converted into a workout room/game-room, which we took advantage of.
