Great house for a trip to Seattle

The house was great and clean located in a quiet neighborhood. I really appreciated having parking in the drive. Communication with host was great. My teenagers loved walking to the local coffee shop in the morning.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Bell

Host profile image
I'm not native to Seattle but moved my family with two small children to Ballard in 2022 and we've loved living here and being tourists in a our new city! Would love to share our favorite spots with you as you plan your visit. I own and manage this property so you'll be hosted by the owner of the house, not a third party, and we live within a mile of the house so really know the neighborhood! I've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals so am bringing all I've learned as a guest to your stay to make it the most comfortable possible.

Why they chose this property

This part of Ballard is family-friendly, quiet and residential but makes it easy to access all this beautiful city and surrounding areas have to offer. If you want a quiet place to base for work or a homey atmosphere for your family that is also close enough to see all the sites, this is a great home for you!
