    What a lovely place to stay! The apartment was well appointed, clean, and thoughtfully decorated and outfitted. There was a lovely supply of basic kitchen staples including half and half for coffee! The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying here!

    We arrived a little late due to some horrible traffic, but were soon very relaxed in this sweet little basement apartment. It was easy to access, clean and perfect for our little family. Lots of books and games to keep us busy. Small little kitchen, but nice as long as you aren’t planning big meals. Sink is a little small to wash dishes, but overall worked fine. Wi-fi worked great, and sleeping arrangements were cozy. Great place to stay!

    Thoughtful touches, such as cold beverages, coffee/tea, and tasty chocolate greeted us upon arrival. I messed up our arrival date and Tasha saved us a late drive and awkward situation w her prompt and kind response. :) We stayed for four nights and had the best time. The furniture was comfortable, the bed exceptionally comfortable (like laying down in a supportive hug), and plenty of linens. We cooked a lot and didn’t feel the lack of stove/oven. (We brought our French press and induction-friendly Bialetti from home.)Cool mid-century details, like the basement intercom system, highlight the history of the house and architecture throughout the neighborhood. Quiet neighborhood, great walking, minutes drive to Ballard…great place, great experience. We’ll definitely be back.

    I was very pleased with everything at the VRBO. The first thing that my son said, this is a safe location. The owner had almond milk awaiting me. (Allergies) WOWA car is needed.

    The apartment is very well-appointed and was a great place to stay when my husband and I came to town to visit family in Ballard and NE Seattle. It was nice to have off-street parking and be assured of a parking spot no matter what time of day we returned. I appreciated the many thoughtful touches provided by the hosts and their thoughtfulness in checking in with us to be sure we were comfortable. I truly wouldn't change a thing and hope it will be available for one of our future trips to Seattle!

    We had a great stay in Natasha and Ken's beautiful apartment. They are gracious hosts and very easy to communicate with. Besides being spotlessly clean and comfortable, the apartment had everything we needed and more. It had plenty of room for entertaining our little granddaughter, and the kitchen was thoughtfully equipped for cooking our simple meals. Certainly the highlight for my husband and son was getting to play pool together in the evenings. We are very happy to have found this place and hope to stay again next time we return to Ballard!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway at Ken and Natasha’s. It is bigger than the pics show and extremely comfortable. The bed was really comfy! They had the kitchen stocked with coffee and cream for our mornings. There are lots of books to read, a pool table, 2 large tv’s and a nice bathroom. They were extremely quick and accommodating with all our needs! Will definitely return!

    The property was ok. We found the property outdated, the lighting to be sub standard and the sound proofing not good. We could hear people moving things around, footsteps on the upper level, and television noise.
