A wonderful gem! Everything about this property is spectacular! It was perfect for my husband and I; clean, cozy, comfortable bed, great shower, quiet and a great location. I really appreciated all the attention to detail, including labels on the light switches so you know which lights turn on where! We hope to return in the near future! Thank you Yeon and Javier!!

We found the Ballard Guest House to be the PERFECT place to stay during our visit to Seattle, WA. The guest house was clean, quiet, comfortable and offered all the amenities one could expect. Parking at the back of the property allowed us the freedom to come and go without having to worry about disturbing neighbors, etc. Communication with our hosts was incredibly prompt, efficient and easy through the VRBO app.

Our hosts made this Vrbo rental one of the best rentals we have made in all our years of using VRBO. The property was exactly as advertised. An absolutely beautiful property inside and out. Perfect for a couple desiring to visit Ballard community for a weekend or longer. Convenient to beach parks and local eateries. Supermarket is within walking distance. Property was immaculate and all appliances as well as shower were in perfect working order. Our queen size bed gave us a restful sleep plus neighborhood is peacefully quiet. You will not regret reserving this unit.
