This was a perfect place for us to stay while visiting family in Ballard. Easy to get around by car or on foot. We had a compact car, so the garage worked well for us. The place had everything we needed - plenty of paper products, utensils, electronics (and streaming memberships!) and everything was in good working order. When we did eat in, we bellied up to the counter as there's no table and chairs, but that worked fine for us. Would definitely stay at this property again!

The owners made this an easy place to rent. All the amenities were top notch. Great location. Our only problem was that the carpet was stained - though it could have still been clean - but the stains gave it a questionable impression. Plus, the cleaners didn’t do a great job before our check-in (hair on the bathroom floor). In all, these are relatively minor issues, and we would certainly rent this property again.

My wife, adult daughter, and I stayed in this nice townhouse to visit our other daughter and her husband, who live near by. The property has four small separate three-level townhouses (no common walls), each with a small garage. The main entry way and garage are on lower floor, the kitchen, living room, and powder room are on the second floor, and the third floor has a large bedroom (king-size bed), a smaller bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a full bathroom. Everything in the house can be turned on and off through Alexa; fine for some but not for luddites. For the latter, you can turn everything on and off the normal way. The garage is very narrow and difficult to back into without a lot of experience parking in narrow spaces. We parked in the garage to start with but then decided to park on the street, which was easier and more convenient. Our hosts, Amir and Amy, live about a mile away and were communicative. Our daughter and her husband's place was within walking distance. We enjoyed dinner at the Barking Dog Alehouse on the next block from the townhouse, as well as Take 5 Urban Market, which makes excellent sandwiches and other fare and is only two blocks away. All in all, a wonderful stay and we would do it over again a flash.

The house was in a comfortable neighborhood and was enjoyable short-term base for a Seattle visit.
We had a little difficulty entering when we arrived. The code did not work, but owner was accessible by phone and got it fixed. We had to search for phone in correspondence though.
Inside, we were very pleased with the furnishings and comforts.
The place was clean and organized and easy to use. We quickly felt like being at home.
The visitor notes could use more details, like how the advanced light switches function and specifics on using video/TV system.
One last note: we were all 75 years or older, making the steep stairs of the townhouse a bit of a challenge for one of us. They should be noted for seniors who might be renting.
All in all, a fine, pleasing stay. Would stay there again.

Overall the house was clean and we were able to get an SUV into the garage snugly, however the street was wide enough to not have to worry about getting your car dinged. Nice family style neighborhood, the bar wasn't too loud at night either.

Great location, and the owners provided LOTS of information about the area, so we had more options for things to do than time to do them. Great stay in the Seattle area.

The hosts were quick with all inquiries. Great location! Loved being able to walk to a few local restaurants. Would go again!

This was the best possible location for our Seattle vacation. Prior to coming, we spent our time exploring the parks and islands. We were concerned that we would miss the quiet of the islands, but Amir's place was amazing. It was quiet, well stocked, and exactly like the pictures. We "thought" we had a smart home until witnessing Amir's. It was very entertaining to try and keep up with the smart lights and door! I would caution anyone that is not able to do stairs because there is no getting around that. We rented a standard (7 passenger) SUV for our family, and the garage was not big enough to fit it. The street parking was plentiful, so that was not an issue. The bar and grill down the block had fabulous food, and the bus stop outside the local market & deli was perfect for getting downtown. We would highly recommend Amir's home!

Great property. Very clean and comfortable. Would’ve been great to have AC but still, the place stayed reasonably cool. Enjoyed the fire pit in the back patio very much. The host was very responsive and courteous.

The unit was perfect for our needs. We wanted to be walking distance to Ballard and Seattle transportation. There were great neighbor food places. Unit was clean, well equipped and the owner could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We will certainly recommend unit to our friends and for repeat stays.

A great experience from the beginning. There was hiccup in the booking process, and the hosts were immediately in contact with VRBO to fix the issue. Any questions we had leading up to or during our weeklong stay were answered within minutes. In addition, Amir and Amy provided a helpful guide to the houseVery attentive! Among the top hosts we’ve encountered over several years of VRBO stays.
The listing details and photos are accurate, and the hosts’ recommendations for local attractions and dining were excellent. The house is in a nice neighborhood within easy walking distance of restaurants and a small market - a very pleasant setting. It’s also a good base for exploring downtown Seattle and the national parks.
The house itself is very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. They really have thought of everything that guests might need. The backyard is a delight. We are from the DC area and were concerned about not having A/C in the house. We had a couple of warm days and it was not a problem. Amir and Amy have wonderful detailed instructions on cooling the home as well as a mighty powerful attic fan that cleared out the heated air in no time at all.
Bottom line: lovely home, excellent location, exceptional hosts. We would definitely look at booking here again.

We had a great time in Seattle and enjoyed staying here. House is in a safe, clean neighborhood with quick access to everything you’d need. Quick drive into Seattle or super easy access to public transportation. Highly recommended!

One of our smoothest trips ever thanks to a super easy check in and clear instructions for everything in the condo. We enjoyed this cozy condo for five days over Christmas that included one of the coldest, iciest days Seattle has experienced in a long time. That day we stayed in and snuggled by the fireplace, worked on a puzzle, and played games. The other days we were able to venture out to enjoy all that the city has to offer. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare Christmas dinner. We also appreciated that we were able to park our rental in the garage. Excellent vacation, we highly recommend!

This home was perfect for our trip to visit family who recently moved into the neighborhood. We were within short walking distance, a great plus. The property was clean, well appointed and everything we could ask for in a home away from home!

This was a neat and well-organized space. Sad we couldn't stay longer, but had plans to explore Olympic National Park. This was a great place to land at the beginning of our jouney!

Great location
Great location, very nice house for parents of two small kids, super cute park that is walking distance nearby. So much to do around the area including great restaurants that keep you outside of the bustle of the city. Home was very clean, a few small hairs in the bathroom but not a big deal. Unfortunately during our stay there was a heat wave and this was difficult with no air-conditioning and only window fans in 92 degree heat, which made the apartment very hot in the late afternoon and early evening which is exactly when our kids go to bed. On the days the weather was great, our stay was wonderful, and we would definitely stay here again but consider if you do mind no air conditioning that it can get very warm in the summer.

Our stay in Ballard was wonderful. This property is extremely clean and very comfortable. It has everything you need for a short or extended visit. The outside patio and grill provided added space and opportunity for family gatherings. We have stayed here twice and both times have been awesome. Amir and Amy are great hosts.
5.0
We desperately wanted somewhere quiet to stay with all of our needs met to stay out of the awful Seattle traffic- the stone house has everything! There is a fantastic pub next door and across the street from that there is the best Bodega I've ever been to in my life
I highly recommend the stone house, I hope to return someday very soon!
