Excellent townhome in Ballard

Great place, perfect location. We like to cook and there were good spices, and just enough pots and pans. We appreciated having a garage as parking can sometimes be tricky…but don’t bring a huge vehicle as it’s a tight fit for anything bigger than a sedan. We would definitely rent it again!

Cozy Phinney Ridge home base

The property was clean, well equipped, up-to-date, and a perfect location for our stay -- not too far from anywhere we wanted to go, easy walking distance from multiple coffee shops. We enjoyed the projector setup once we were home for the night, as well as the modular sofa!

Almost perfect

The property is well cared for, there were only two small issues, so I did not give it five stars. The bathmats in the bathrooms were dirty and the bathtub doesn’t drain well after a five minute shower you’re standing in 5 inches of water.

Comfortable home in great location

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights while moving our daughter back to UW. The home is in a great spot with easy access (15 min from UW), plenty of parking on local streets, safe neighborhood, close to Phinney Ridge shops and restaurants, and the Barking Dog Alehouse (great food and drinks) is just a few steps away. The neighborhood is quiet, the home is very comfortable (awesome HUGE King bed!), and the technology in the home is applied very well making it easy to understand and control for anyone. Very nice home, the hosts are wonderful and responsive, and we would love to return on our next visit to the area.

Great Seattle Stay

We recently spent 3 days at this location. The home was clean and well maintained! It took us a little bit to get used to all the Smart devices, but Amir’s directions were clear and helpful. We were “talking to the house” in no time!! Thanks for all the suggestions for restaurants- we tried a few new to us! The people at The Barking Dog were great - we had lunch and picked up our FREE growler-full. I would heartily recommend this location!

Seattle get-away

The place was very much as advertised — clean, convenient, etc. We were in Seattle to visit family so we did very little at the property. My only complaint was about the VRBO check-in which was not the property owners’ fault. Every time I would try to get information and VRBO would ask me to check in I had to put in my email and a password — then they would say put in a 6 digit code, but they would send me a 5 digit code. It took me a long time to get through to the owners (not their fault). We have never had this problem with VRBO before. All positive rating for the property itself.

Great home base in wonderful neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay at the stone house, which included lots of thoughtful extras to help make our stay easy and enjoyable. House was very clean and as represented in photos and communication with Amir and Amy was very easy. The neighborhood is delightful and Amir and Amy have lots of good recommendations. We would highly recommend this house. One note, the garage was pretty tight so we opted to park our full sized SUV on the street. Street parking was free and plentiful and we always got a close spot. A smaller car would fit in the garage though!

All good

The property is as advertised. It has a 'lived in' feel, which is not a negative, but implies that we felt relaxed and at home. It isn't stuffy or pretentious. Everything and I mean everything is clearly labeled. There was no searching for anything. The patio is very nice. We wished the chairs were a little more comfortable, but what's there makes sense. The host was very responsive to our questions/requests and always very polite. Beds are comfortable. Pillows a little mushed, but there are enough where each person can use two if necessary. Everybody slept well. Good location. We wanted to stay in a residential home neighborhood and two friends suggested Ballard. Then we selected this place. Ballard is a cool neighborhood. Plenty of good options for bars, restaurants, etc. The host's dining recommendations were spot on. The Barking Dog Alehouse is two doors down and a great neighborhood spot. Great selection of beers on tap and very good menu. Meet the owner Dan - very nice. The house is walking distance from coffee shops etc. Grocery stores are a short drive away. It was about a $45 Lyft ride to Pioneer Square. Our rental vehicle was too large for the garage but the street parking was easy.

Lovely townhouse in a quiet neighborhood. Well equipped with everything we needed. Nicely updated with new appliances.

About the host

Hosted by Amir

Host profile image
I grew up abroad in a multicultural world. I love diversity. I think it makes the world a better place. Naturally, meeting new interesting people is very exciting to me. There is so much to learn from each other.

After finishing college I began working as a software engineer on video editing software and have been doing that for the past 10+ years. In the intersection between science and art, I am most at home when form meets function in the most elegant ways. It is so exciting to be able to watch a movie and know exactly how it is made, right down the each pixel. If you're interested in this sort of thing, I love chatting about it-- but be forewarned, you may never be able to watch a movie the same way. The magic of film-making can sometimes go away when you know how it works.

I love adventure! My wife and I met at a Lindy Hop dance, we've been scuba diving, skydiving, and I even have my very own paraglider. If you're an adventurous type too, I'd be happy to give you some ideas for things to do while you're visiting Seattle. I look forward to hosting you and chatting about interesting topics!

Why they chose this property

As an engineer, I absolutely love fixing things and tinkering. Naturally, I spent the past several years upgrading our home. I decided it would be great to share all the upgrades and hard work I've done and list it on VRBO. It really has been a labor of love for me. My wife and I live nearby, so we're always close by if something breaks. I know the home inside and out and will do everything I can to make sure your stay is amazing.
