This was a great place to land while we got our bearings in Seattle. It was super close to the bus, which we took pretty much everywhere. We walked to some restaurants and the market suggested in the guest book, and enjoyed it. The street was very busy, and a bit bright/noisy at night, but we didn't mind much since we were so exhausted from sightseeing and walking around all day. The place had everything we needed and was extremely clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend for adults ready to walk and adventure in the area!

About the host
Hosted by Nil
Welcome!
We believe the places we stay become part of the stories we tell. That’s why we love hosting. Our first guests arrived from Taiwan as strangers and left as friends, exchanging gifts along the way. Another guest arrived as a visitor and left as a lifelong family friend.
Every detail is prepared with the same care we’d hope to find when we travel—warm, thoughtful, and ready for you to relax.
We hope you remember not just where you stayed, but how you felt while you were here.
Why they chose this property
The Ballard neighborhood is often described as "historic meets hip".
Spirited food, pubs, art and retail are hallmarks of this diverse district with a strong seafaring heritage. It's a vibrant and peaceful neighborhood with a mix of both young professionals and families & offers some of the best restaurants, cafes, craft breweries and local boutiques that the Emerald City has to offer.
Some of Ballard's best sights and attractions include Golden Gardens Park to soak up the Puget Sound views and barbeque on the beach, Ballard Farmers Market (Sundays 9am - 2pm), National Nordic Museum and Ballard Locks + Botanical Garden. Also, the location can't be beat - Ballard is only a 15 minute drive, or 25 minute bus ride to Downtown Seattle (Pikes Place, Space Needle, etc.)
What makes this property unique
