Well appointed and very cozy. Nice hot shower, washer and dryer, nice backyard and even snacks and water in refrigerator.

There are a lot of signs, including a sign stating the replacement prices for each dish in the kitchen, despite the fact that property damage insurance is required by the host. As a result, it is hard to feel welcome in the house. The way the signs are written sounds like you could ruin things with a simple mistake. One example is the instruction to "please FOLD the bedspread. Do not bundle or ball up, as this might disengage the inside batting and ruin the bedspread" (emphasis in original).
My main complaint is that the listing doesn't mention that this is the top floor apt in a two-apartment home. I look for this information when I am booking VRBOs, because I have three children and I hate reminding them the whole trip not to stomp around, which I did this week. I passed up condos that would have fit our needs better just because I couldn't tell what floor they were on, so this was disappointing. The other apt was mentioned in the host email that I got a week after I booked, but I didn't read this email in detail until just before arrival because I assumed that it was just arrival info.
On arrival day, I looked for instructions on the app, but they weren't there. The host email had it, but parking info wasn't clear - we thought we could park in the driveway, which is part gravel, but were chewed out for using it. We were unsure whether the gravel shoulder was a parking spot.
The property has everything you could request, like shampoo. Unpleasant interactions with host.

Lots of light and well equipped home. Very quite in the surrounding neighborhood. The property is nicely landscaped and its location to the sights and sounds of Ballard excellent. Great jumping off point for day trips in the Seattle area.

Our stay was very nice, the place had everything and more. The issue we had was with the checkin, didn’t get an email and couldn’t reach owner by phone( tried 3 times). Finally called VRBO to get access.would recommend not having expensive glasses and dishes. Would also recommend not having so many signs all over the unit, overkill!

The small house was nicely appointed, cozy and comfortable. We were away when Mrs Binkly dropped by to introduce herself. Our schedule of sight seeing took up most of our time but when there we were quite impressed with reading material, a well equipped kitchen and bath. My only wish was to better understand how to operate the tv’s. Thank you for the reminder notes which we found very helpful. Overall we had a good time.

We had a wonderful stay at Dennis and Martie’s beautiful Ballard home. This home was well equipped and the cleanliness was second to none. We look forward to staying at Dennis and Martie’s again when we visit Seattle. Highly recommend staying at this beautiful Ballard oasis.

My mother (who has limited mobility) and my niece stayed here while visiting Seattle. Only a couple of steps to get in, otherwise all one level which can be difficult to find in Seattle. Very happy with the rental!

Took a long weekend to visit our daughter and stayed in this cottage. It was perfect for us! Denis and Martie were fabulous hosts. The home is clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Home was very clean, odor free and updated. Nice sized kitchen with many amenities. Comfortable king bed with soft sheets/ bedding. Older home and floors creaked in spots. Could hear tenants talking in downstairs apartment on occasion.
4.6
This was an extremely clean, well maintained and thoughtfully furnished home. The owner was extremely attentive and readily available. My husband and I have stayed in many rentals over the past few years, and I can honestly say that this King bed was the most comfortable
of all!
The location was in a very quiet neighborhood with a lovely backyard that would have been great for a young child.
We would definitely return!

This is a lovely home. Very cozy, quiet, comfortable and clean with everything we needed for our weekend stay. The owners have been very thoughtful in updating the home and yard & communication is a strong point of the owners. The location is great for us as we have family nearby. We will definitely be back!

They already had someone staying in the rental for our booked weekend. They claim it’s not their fault. Looking at past reviews this isn’t the first time. It is your fault if you are not triple checking and using the same third party companies.

Don’t! They double book!

When we arrived at this property, we were excited. We were unable to use the code provided to get into the house. When we called the owner, he said it was already occupied, so we couldn't have it. Owner passed us off to VRBO, who left us on hold for 45 mins., and we had to rent a hotel room. We felt let down by the owner and VRBO.

A comfortable quiet and cozy home
Sweet cozy home with amazing updates and features. I was able to enjoy my time away. Both Dennis and Martie were extremely responsive and helpful hosts. I was able to stay an extra day than I originally planned so I could maximize my time writing a professional paper. I highly recommend!

Clean comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood
Very relaxing place to spend a week. Convenient to University of Washington campus (less than 20 minutes during non-commute times) and very close to a couple of supermarkets. The owners are nice and easy to talk to. The rental is much better than a hotel room.

We stayed with our two young children who loved the bunk beds. The property was extremely clean and well maintained. We had our car and getting downtown was no problem. There was plenty of space for all of us. The owners were responsive and kind.

This little house was clean and well appointed. There were nice homey little touches that also made this stay feel like home. The owners were very responsive to a problem we had with the heat which speaks volumes about their promise to make this stay the best it could be. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
