A well-appointed studio, excellently managed, with prompt responses to any questions. The only drawback is the traffic noise (hence one star off) — but that’s the price you pay for such a convenient location.

Convenient location in Ballard

We enjoyed our stay in this small but well-appointed apartment. Although it does not have a full kitchen, it worked well for out needs. We would not hesitate to return next time we come to Seattle to visit family.

The place

The place was great! Super cute, Clean, very nice. The only thing was the code was so confusing we had no idea what was going on. I’ve never seen a door code like that before, but luckily they had a key to use instead. The host always answered my messages fast which was nice. Very good place to stay and close to town. Recommend booking here.

The place was cute, cozy, and comfortable, but a few things to note. There’s no kitchen sink, so you’ll need to rinse dishes or your coffee mug in the bathroom sink. The studio is very small (the photos make it appear larger), and the front door opens directly onto the sidewalk of a busy street. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is not the spot, traffic noise goes late into the night. The host did provide earplugs and a sound machine, which helps, but the listing didn’t mention just how loud the location is. While the space itself is nicely set up, I wouldn’t stay here again due to the noise and lack of privacy from the street.

Enjoyed my stay

I was in Seattle for the Taylor Swift concert (in Vancouver). I asked the host if there was any way to get into the unit earlier because I made a mistake and didn’t realize check in was at 4 and they helped me. I also had to leave my trip early and I had no problems.

This is truly an extraordinary property. It is decorated beautifully. Bed is super comfortable, towels first class. TV had free Netflix which I wasn't expecting. It is on a busy street, but the white noise machine cancelled the traffic out. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Ballard stay

This was our first time staying in a VRBO. We were delighted with the ease of the entire process. We were visiting our son that lives in Ballard so was easy to connect with him. Plenty of shopping and dining options close by.Communication with host was great. The space was exactly like the photos, We will be staying there again!Thanks much?

Great space for our needs

Communication was awesome-very responsive hosts.The studio was well sized and very clean, with one exception that a towel had what looked like old makeup stains on them (hence the sign to please not wipe off on towels)Accessing the studio was challenging, even with all the detailed keypad directions, so was very appreciative that they had keys as a backup. Thank you The reason I rated location less stars, and this is my fault for not knowing the area, is that it was on a very busy street. So if you’re a light sleeper like I am it was hard to sleep even with earplugs.

Cozy Comfort

We were in town for a family wedding in Ballard. This location was perfect for easy access to all venues, family homes, shopping, and tasty eateries. A walkable bakery down the hill and a nice neighborhood to explore on foot once off the Main Street. Well equipped, calm interior, and even the second bed turned out to be a comfortable pull out. Perfect for our stay

Great little studio

The studio in Ballard is well situated and well appointed. Check in is self-service but it was easy. The place is small but very attractive. It's within walking distance of a number of restaurants. My partner and I loved it. The only issue is that it's hard to do dishes since there is no sink. You have to do the dishes in the bathroom sink which is inconvenient. But then again, who does a lot of dishes when on holiday?
