The Neighborhood.

Ballard was a city of its own in the past founded when cars didn't exist. It was later absorbed by its bigger sister city Seattle. For this reason, it can still feel like a small town retaining its downtown, working waterfront and old businesses open to date. Many warehouses and storefronts though, have been converted to tasty new restaurants, like our favorite Mexican, La Carta de Oxaca on Ballard ave.

Public Transportation.

Seattle is a city with a solid public transportation when it comes to buses.
We are located less than half a block from the bus stop. You can take routes #18 and #40 at our block corner of 24th and 64th; both will take you to downtown Seattle. Route #40 also goes to the Northgate Mall in its northbound route. Route #44 on Market Street will take you to UW.
If you have a smart phone you can use Google maps and chose the public transportation option when planning your route. You may also find very useful the OneBusAway App with real time transit information, timetables and route planing. This App was first develop here at home at the UW and it is now in use all over the US and abroad.

Great Ballard Visit
We had such a wonderful time. This home is perfectly located to easily go to the Zoo, Green Lake, Swansons Plant Store, Gorgeous George’s, the Barking Dog. Great food, great Beer, great coffee. I love Seattle and Mario’s home is so comfortable to return to after our adventures. This home has everything we need, and that is why we keep coming back. Thank you Mario for sharing your lovely home.

Wonderful
We had a wonderful time in this lovely condo. It is central to all. It is well appointed, including coffee, tea, cream. We loved that we could walk bakeries and baristas. Shopping for groceries was within walking distance. Seattle is a fabulous city.

Great location with guaranteed parking space
Great location in Ballard and easy walk to Ballard downtown. Great restaurants, bars & grocery store right around the corner. Clean studio with cute little backyard to enjoy some sun. Basic kitchen equipment but didn’t use it much with all the wonderful food choices around. Studio came with all the necessities you’ll need. We loved that we had a guaranteed parking space in the driveway, which is a hard perk to find. The owner Mario was very responsive & helpful.

Ballard Studio
Very nice studio apartment, in a great location in Ballard. Easy walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. Designated parking space which is terrific since street parking can be quite difficult. The studio is well equipped, with a comfortable king bed, sitting area, dining table, a small but very usable kitchen, and a sunny private back yard.

Charming home base in a wonderful neighborhood
From start to finish Mario and Monica thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. So many amenities, from a full range of bathroom supplies, to a well-stocked kitchen, to comfortable beds. We had full access to a lovely garden area just outside our apartment door, which made the property feel even more comfortable. There were 3 of us in the apartment: my husband, our 19-yr-old daughter, and myself, and due to the way the apartment is laid out (and the lovely garden) we never felt cramped. We weren't there much of course! So much to see just a short mile from the apartment in Ballard. The bar around the corner, Olaf's, was a gem as well. The property is well-maintained, and the owners were super responsive. Safe neighborhood, with off street parking. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. 5/5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Mario Dominguez

Host profile image
Originally from Cuba I have lived for over 19 years in the Seattle area. My wife and I enjoy meeting new people, traveling and learning about different cultures. I enjoy tasting food from different parts of the world, which makes Ballard particularly a good place for its many restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We love Ballard because of its conveniences and good schools which is important to us as new parents. This property was of particular interest to us because of its location and access to public transportation. It also has the added benefit that we can share its two separate units with our guests allowing us to be to afforded leaving in this neighborhood which otherwise would have been difficult.

What makes this property unique

Conveniently located in the Ballard area. Walking distance to: NW Market St, Ballard public library, Golden Gardens, Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, restaurants, french bakery, pubs and bus stops to Downtown Seattle (#40 south), Northgate Mall (#40 North) and Udistrict (#44 West)
