The Ballard Bungalow: Cozy Private Urban Oasis

This stay was very clean, well but not excessively stocked, and eco conscious (which I appreciated). The location was pretty convenient with a Trader Joes nearby for groceries. We considered walking to breweries late one evening but it didn't feel super safe due to the area. That said, the rental felt secure. There were a lot of loud droning noises nearby that wore at us a bit but we didn't have a very long stay so it wasn't a huge deal. It was nice to have a parking space, though it is off an alley, and very tricky to get in or out of if you don't have a compact vehicle. The hosts were very communicative and over all we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and easy reserved parking. Plenty of food and brew options close by. Good value for our two day stay.

The property is as expected...an industrial area with plenty of breweries within walking distance. The bungalow is clean and newly finished. Fyi, the steps leading into it from both the front and back yards are a tripping hazard

Cute. Very quiet. The off street parking is a great perk in Seattle! Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Great shower. The only minor inconvenience was the low ceiling height to the members of our party over 6'. But otherwise a great stay.

Great place and super convenient location. The dedicated parking space is also a big plus. Great communication with host, highly recommend!

Check in was easy and fast. Very nice helpful people. Had everything you needed. Would definitely recommend.

Great communication and incredibly kind host!

Comfortable, clean, and modern location. Very much appreciated clear communication from host. Beds comfortable, kids slept on pull out. Shower was nice. Everything very clean and in good order. Lovely outdoor sitting area. We were visiting family in Fremont and this was the perfect location, five min away. We would stay here again and recommend to others! It is industrial area mixed in with some breweries. We felt safe, and at the same time, was not an area for walking around. Only 1-2 blocks away, nice park for kids, great coffee shops. Convenient grocery store we appreciated! thank you!

I would say my stay was averagely ok. My biggest complaint here was the very strict 3pm check in time. Most host and even hotels are flexible, and understanding of crazy travel days. This “bungalow” has the sounds of little footprints running on top of your head, so if that’s going to bother you this isn’t the place for you. During our morning breakfast, there was a pretty large spider that my daughter spotted on my back, we packed up and left after that. Overall, average option in the city! We enjoyed the cast iron skillets in the kitchen and large shower.

This is a perfect spot for 2-3 people. The apartment is decorated very smartly and the location is good for visiting Ballard and Fremont.

This was a really great stay.

Great stay! The bungalow was private and comfortable, located close to lots to do in Seattle.

the unit was clean and well stocked. The only issues were step to get through the gate was not marked. And almost fell twice. and the listing stated washer dryer available but we were unable to use because we were not staying 7 days. the listing did not state this. we came off a cruise and needed to do 1 load for the weekend and the owner refused to allow this. we also did not find linens and for the sleeper sofa as my friend and i do not sleep together being up front about even small steps allows someone with a handicap know what they are getting.

This is an amazing find! The location is great and close to everything! Especially Trader Joes lovers!! Bonus points for the comfortable bed!

This property has the perfect location. It was clean and the owner was very responsive. Highly recommend!!!

Our family enjoyed our stay at this lodging. Surrounded by multiple breweries, a bit of a walk from downtown Ballard. Nice amenities. Host checked in with us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our small family stayed here recently and it was a good place to stay for us. It was as described and clean. Loved that it was walking distance to so many breweries (literally next door to Lucky Envelope Brewing). Close drive to many other places as well. Ceilings are low because of it being a basement apartment and you can hear upstairs noise at times, but nothing that affected our stay at all. Great host communication as well!

Pros: - The unit was exceptionally clean. - The bathroom was very nice and the shower worked well. - The reserved, off-street parking made parking something we never had to worry about, even when returning home late. Cons: - The unit does not include A/C, which means there is no air movement whatsoever during the summer months. You are also at the mercy of the weather. - The unit is in need of a pest control treatment (many spiders and some ants in the kitchen). - The neighborhood is up and coming and there is a homeless problem. The alley does not feel like a safe place due to people living in RVs and spending time near the entrance to it.

We came to Seattle to visit our son who lives in Ballard. It was a perfect location. The parking spot was a plus and loved being near the breweries! One of the main reason I chose the Ballard Bungalow was because it stated it had air conditioning but it did not. I messaged the host who told me they were going to look into it but I never got a response. Luckily, it was not a hot week like it was two years ago when we came to Seattle. If it was a hot week, it would have been very uncomfortable.

The property was clean and comfortable. I'd only caution those with balance issues: stairs leading down to the bungalow might present a small problem. Other than that, I'd recommend without hesitation.

The only inconvenience we experienced was the low ceiling height since 2 members of our family are 6'+.
