1 Bedroom House in Whittier Heights, Seattle

This sweet one BDRM house in Ballard is full of eclectic antiques and period charm. It has a firm Beautyrest Black king size bed with a memoryfoam topper, a lovely yard and garden, and it is perfect for quiet, mature visitors. The kitchen is stocked full of everything you would need to make a fabulous meal during your stay. This is cozy house that sits up off the street (stairs to entrance) with a large backyard oasis.
Please note: there is a totally separate mother-in-law apartment (also a vacation rental) located downstairs. To honor my commitment to my downstairs guests, this listing is suitable for quiet, mature and respectful guests only. It's perfect for those who are looking for charming, comfortable and low-key accommodations or who plan to be out and about a lot. It is NOT conducive to those looking to entertain or have a lively time of it in their temporary home away from home.
Guests have exclusive use of the backyard. There is street parking out front, so while there isn't a dedicated parking space for you, there is usually street parking available either directly out front or very nearby.
NEIGHBORHOOD:
The apartment is located in the lovely and quiet area of Whittier Heights in Ballard, situated between three great neighborhoods: downtown Ballard, Phinney Ridge and Greenwood and close to Fremont. The apartment is within a lovely stroll to award winning restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries and delis on 70th Street and 65th Street.
I am four blocks from Delancey's (amazing pizza), Essex, Rosselini Bakery and Take 5 Urban Market. All voted top restaurants and bars. You can even take cooking classes at the Pantry at Delancey (but you must book early because they sell out!). It is a quick jaunt by bike or car to the Ballard Market (a really great grocery store), PCC, Met Market, Safeway and Trader Joe's. Greenlake is a mile away. If you are a runner, walker or blader, you'll probably want to check it out! The Woodland Park Zoo is also close by and Discovery Park and Golden Gardens are also exquisite places to check out and not a far drive.
GETTING AROUND
There is free street parking directly out front. Lime Bikes app rentals, Uber/Lyft are all easy rideshare options. I am 4 blocks to the #28 bus and about 6 blocks from the Rapid Ride D line. Both buses go downtown.

Summary: When we rented this house in Ballard, we didn't expect it to be one of the things we most enjoyed about our visit, but it was. If you are tired of rentals decorated with IKEA furniture, stay here. The owner has a strong creative talent that she used to decorate this home. We enjoyed playing the LPs while also playing Scrabble and Clue games in the 50s style living room. The house was clean, the bed very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The neighborhood was quiet, but close to restaurants and shops. The owner gives extensive information on places to eat. Stay here in Seattle. It's fun!

Summary: Overpriced compared to the basic VRBO's we have used in the area. Not enough lighting. East facing window without shades. No microwave, television, or radio.

Summary: The house was very cute! Host was very organized and provided lots of information up front. We were always able to find a parking spot right in front of the house. Bathroom has a great shower head, lots of towels, a hair dryer, and all traveling needs. Kitchen has just about everything you could need, other than a microwave. Bed was super soft and had great linens. The living room has lots of fun antiques, books, games, records, and more. Even though the house is old, it is very cute and has several upgrades, such as a smart thermostat. It was perfect for my husband and I to stay for a few days!

Summary: My wife and I recently stayed at Shannon's house and had a very nice experience. We were visiting our daughter, her husband, and our new 4 month old granddaughter in Ballard. If you've never done Ballard, put it on your list. This place provided a little oasis for us to decompress after babysitting all day. You can tell from the pictures that this is a museum of articles from the 40s-70s so we had a little walk down memory lane. The place is clean. Parking was never a problem. Comfortable king size bed. Kitchen was fine although we really never used it. The only criticism that I have is that the bedroom could use better lighting for reading, could use some window blinds, and a coffee maker. Bottom line-Fun place.
