1 Bedroom Apartment in Loyal Heights, Seattle

Welcome to your home away from home.
Spacious one bedroom basement apartment located in the quaint, tree-lined Seattle neighborhood of Ballard. Foodie destination, with tons of breweries.
It is a lovely place to stay if you want to be close enough to downtown to enjoy the tourist attractions of Seattle and other neighborhoods, but staying like a local. The bedroom has a comfy memory foam queen bed and vanity with two convenient sinks.
Walk a block to local neighborhood restaurants and coffee, and minutes to downtown Ballard, Phinney Ridge, Greenlake, Fremont, and Wallingford for more amazing restaurants.

Things to note:

Summary: My wife and I arrived at the Bright Ballard Abode with only the most basic and general of expectations. Sure, the pictures all looked good – and the price was certainly right – but there weren't any reviews posted on VRBO, which had us just a little bit leery.Well, we made our way up to the door, opened it, walked in and...Wow!Wow! Wow! Wow!The Bright Ballard Abode was – and is – pretty dang' awesome.First of all, the place was immaculate. Not a speck of dust or dirt anywhere, and everything just seemed like it was all in the right place.Secondly, the Abode was cute. There's kinda' a mid-century modern sort of vibe to the place, which is stylish and (here's that word again) cute.Thirdly, the kitchen had everything we needed. The knives were sharp, the dishes were clean, and there were tons of different accessories and doo-dads available. Heck, there was even a counter top convection oven and a food processor. Had we been doing an extended stay the refridgerator would have been smaller than we'd like, but we were only in the Abode for two nights.Now, as a quick heads up – a literal heads up – this isn't a space for anyone over six foot four inches. Myself, I'm six feet tall, and though the ceiling didn't even come close to hitting my head, I definitely felt the "presence" of the ceiling while walk about inside.Anyways... If you're looking for a place to stay in the Ballard neighborhood, I highly recommend the Bright Abode.Unless you're 6'4" or taller.
