It was the best vacation rental we have ever had! The flat was so cozy and lovingly appointed, with an incredibly generous amount of supplies. Nicole & Kurt were very pro-active in making us feel comfortable, going the extra mile to be accommodating with our special requests. The neighborhood is fantastic -- gardens, shops, pubs, live music venues, restaurants within walking distance. Truly a "crème de la crème" experience !

Perfect spot in Ballard

This was a perfect location for our stay in Ballard! The apartment was more spacious than expected, very clean and had everything we needed. It is exactly as described and more. It was a short walk to the restaurants, shops and farmers market. It was also very easy to hop on the bus and head into downtown Seattle.

Perfect spot for stay in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood

I highly recommend this property. It is a lovely, comfortable apartment with a superbly well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and linens, and a private well lit entrance. Nicole and Kurt are wonderful, helpful hosts who have thought of everything you may need. Nicole provides clear instructions for your check in, stay and departure, and she responds promptly if you have any questions. The location is very convenient for getting around in Ballad on foot or by car, and public transportation to downtown Seattle is a short walk away. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Seattle.

Best host ever

From the start of exiting the flight Nicole was very helpful on giving train to bus directions. We accidentally got dropped at the wrong location and Nicole offered to come get us with her personal vehicle which was only 4 blocks away but we opted to walk it. The apartment was very cute very homey and a washer/dryer was available for use before we boarded our cruise. If I ever go back to Seattle this will for sure be my place always. This apartment is a 20 minute bus ride to down town Seattle safe area very cute little town. I can’t give this place a more 5 star review! Best communication I have ever experienced!

Home away from home

This comfy basement apartment in Ballard, Washington is truly your home away from home. The property is managed by the homeowner and they have done an absolute wonderful job of accessorizing this apartment to meet all your needs. Everything you can think of that you would need from your home is here in the apartment. The apartment feels spacious and has a separate entrance on the side of the home for your privacy and convenience. Above all, it was warm and comfortable. The location is excellent if you are visiting downtown Seattle or the northern neighborhoods in North Seattle with great access to the Puget Sound and many great restaurants, coffee shops, and bars within walking distance. The host did an outstanding job with communication and the property matched the photos which doesn't always happen. I can highly recommend this property as a great home away from home for your next visit to Seattle.
