Enjoyable stay!

Yeon and Javier were amazing hosts! They greeted us upon arrival and checked in to make sure we were all set. The adorable cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The local wine and Theo chocolate was a thoughtful host gift. We enjoyed the courtyard and lovely gardens and the area was walkable to several parks/beaches/restaurants and on street parking was easy. We'll be back for sure!

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

Quiet neighborhood stay

The sunset hill guest house is just blocks from the park which has spectacular sunsets. The family neighborhood is quiet but close to coffee shops and restaurants. The cottage was immaculate and we appreciated having a washer and dryer. Easy street parking and friendly hosts. Be sure to catch the Ballard farmers market on Sunday mornings!
