Bobby & Jensa.

This part of Ballard is among the most peaceful yet close to the action of Ballard. We are west of 24th which is less busy than east of 24th. We are one house off of 28th, the boundary of all single family homes to the west, again a more relaxed area than to the east. You can easily walk to the Green Grocer, Olaf's, Rupee, Kimchi House, Samara & Piccolinos on 32nd-walk! and Copine (Michelin rated gourmet restaurant!) and the new gourmet place ADDO which are due east on 24th and 63rd. If you want a more extensive grocery selection hit QFC on 24th and 57th. Walkable! And just two more blocks is Market Street and Ballard Avenue, the main streets in Old Ballard. Ballard Ave. is one of the best streets in Seattle full of shops, restaurants and pubs! If you are in town on Sunday a must attend is the Ballard Sunday Market on Ballard Ave!

Please ask us for tips anytime for things to do in the area. We have been living and working in the area for decades and know every inch of Ballard and Seattle. Bobby's family has been in Seattle since about 1890!

Thank you so much for this wonderful stay! Your home was beautiful, clean and so welcoming! The beds (and couch) were so comfortable, the place was sunny and spotless, and very quiet (we didn't hear a peep!). Bobby and Jensa thought of every detail, with thoughtful touches throughout, and responded quickly and warmly to all of our questions and requests. Will definitely book for our next visit to Seattle!

Great Ballard Spot

We couldn't have been happier with this place, it was perfect. I'm not sure it could've been better located to access all that Ballard has to offer on-foot. A 1-1.5 mile walk gets you to 15+ breweries, numerous coffee shops (all delicious), restaurants ... perfect. There's a direct bus line pickup to Pike Place barely 5 minutes away, and when you get home, you have a private, cozy place to rest. Can't wait to stay here again. Everything at the place was clean and well cared for, owner was communicative and friendly.
