New Modern Apartment in Ballard

WilliamRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Went to Ballard to visit friends and work remotely for a week. Seeing as there are only two hotels in the Ballard area, Airbnb was the way to go. G's unit is perfect for one or two people to stay. The unit is within a short walking distance of so many things, including Trader Joe's and LA Fitness, and a 15-20 minute walk of everything Ballard has to offer in shopping, bars, and restaurants. The area is still being developed, but I always felt safe walking around at night. G was very helpful when there were minor issues with the air conditioning unit and was kind enough to let me drop off my luggage before check-in. A+!

A winding concrete path leads through a landscaped garden, flanked by well-maintained shrubs and trees. The pathway is lined with mulch and features greenery, including a prominent bush, creating a serene entryway to the home.

The host gave great instructions. The space was very clean and organized. We were left snacks and a little welcome note which felt special.
