Good location, served our needs well
We were 3 people - 2 parents and a teenager - and this place served our needs well. The bedroom is very nice, comfy bed with nice linens. Our son slept on the fold-out couch in the living room. The apartment has wifi and new cable TV - all worked fine. Plenty of outlets. Basic kitchen did the trick (a nice perk - 2 coffee makers, one just for hot water, which this tea drinker appreciated!). Parking space in the alley out back was always accessible (while the place is in Ballard, it's not close to Ballard Ave. - you will probably want a car if you don't have a bike). The owner was attentive for the most part.
The only drawback is that this is a basement apartment - you have to run the fan and dehumidifier, otherwise it gets stuffy fast. There's an unpleasant smell in the stairwell leading down to the apartment as well (the owner has been informed and will hopefully address this).
Overall, we liked this rental - it's fairly priced and met our needs.
