This part of Ballard is among the most peaceful yet close to the action of Ballard. We are west of 24th which is less busy than east of 24th. We are one house off of 28th, the boundary of all single family homes to the west, again a more relaxed area than to the east. You can easily walk to the Green Grocer, Olaf's, Rupee, Kimchi House, Samara & Piccolinos on 32nd-walk! and Copine (Michelin rated gourmet restaurant!) and the new gourmet place ADDO which are due east on 24th and 63rd. If you want a more extensive grocery selection hit QFC on 24th and 57th. Walkable! And just two more blocks is Market Street and Ballard Avenue, the main streets in Old Ballard. Ballard Ave. is one of the best streets in Seattle full of shops, restaurants and pubs! If you are in town on Sunday a must attend is the Ballard Sunday Market on Ballard Ave!

Please ask us for tips anytime for things to do in the area. We have been living and working in the area for decades and know every inch of Ballard and Seattle. Bobby's family has been in Seattle since about 1890!

Excellent stay!

This is such a cute little apartment that worked out perfect for my family of 4. Its super clean and located in an excellent neighborhood! Very close to restaurants and coffee shops, and not a far drive from the space needle and downtown. We had such a great time during our 4 days in Seattle and would 100% stay here again. The only reason for 4 stars is the people above us were a little noisy the last 2 days of our stay, the footsteps started pretty early and we went well on into the night. But other than that, everything was perfect!

Nice, quiet location

Great location, quiet neighborhood. We were able to walk to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. Some things in the apartment were a little quirky, like bathroom door handles that had to be pulled up instead of down, coffee maker that needs to be replaced (broken lid, coffee not very hot). We had a plumbing issue that was resolved very quickly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Bobby

Host profile image
I am a native Seattleite and self-described house doctor. I love old houses in Seattle and real estate. My family has been in Seattle/King County and Snohomish County for over 130 years and been dabbling in real estate since the early 1890s.

Why they chose this property

When I found this house I was just amazed by the good bones, original features and the location. Then I had a crazy vision to create a Courtyard Apartment that I build 2013-2015! Had it rented thereafter for about 2 1/2 years to longer term tenants then decided to try vacation rentals. So far so good! We love meeting new people! Bobby lived abroad in Germany in the 1980s and traveled extensively back then. Getting to know people and gaining different perspectives are the spice of life and so important in our busy lives.

What makes this property unique

This Ballard location is really nice. Very close in to all that Ballard has to offer yet on the edge of the Ballard Urban Village, so it is quiet and feels very residential. Tip: our "neighbors 360 degrees" next door almost all work in tech and many at Amazon and are from all over the world! It's like a little ID (International District) right here in West Ballard. Say hi, people are friendly albeit slightly nerdy, haha!
