About this property

Ballard Private Suite Near Transit & Local Eats


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.

Walking
2-4 min restaurants, coffee
7-15 min grocery
1 mile to Market St

Driving
10 min to Golden Gardens Beach
15 Min to Discovery Park

20 Min to Capitol Hill

Bus
Express bus picks up right off 15th which can take you directly to Space Needle, Pikes Place, downtown

Need more space? Check out the listing for the upstairs unit where an additional four guests can be accommodated.

Things to note:

Ceiling height:
The ceilings are a bit low, just something to be aware of if you are on the taller side.

Floor:
As is common in basement units, the floor may be cold for some.

Noise:
Neighborhood is very quiet with low traffic, there is an upstairs unit, so you will hear walking, talking, tv noises.

Smoke detectors:
The smoke alarms are connected throughout the whole house, so if one goes off the whole house will beep, including the unit above.

Everything about this vrbo was practically perfect for my stay. It had plenty of street parking in front of the property, the cutest ambiance, and gave great recommendations for eateries and activities. The hosts provided toiletries, extras you wouldn’t even think you’d need (ear plugs/mending kit) and had a great variety of teas and coffee for the morning time. Just a heads up (I wasn’t bothered by this but some might) you can hear people very well upstairs and outside. It’s a basement unit that’s closed off from the rest of the house so take that into consideration. Everything about the check in/out process was very smooth and clear. If you’re not familiar with Seattles recycling, they provide a handy sheet of what is “trash, recycling, compost.” Overall a great stay and I would stay here again!

This is a basement apartment in a nice neighborhood in Ballard. It's farther than walking distance from downtown Ballard, so be ready to drive or rideshare. This is a basement apartment (albeit a nice one), so it has some associated disadvantages. When people are in the house upstairs it gets pretty loud. It would quiet down at night, so I assume the upstairs sleeping quarters are on the second story of the house. Also the upstairs plumbing runs through the apartment and occasionally there was a loud rushing water sound. Again, all expected with a basement apartment. The space is bright, clean, and well furnished. There is a small but serviceable kitchenette. A nice bathroom with great water pressure in the shower and a double vanity. There is also a full-sized washer and dryer.

Above And Beyond Our Expectations

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.

Host profile image
I’m a longtime Seattle resident who takes pride in creating inviting, well-designed spaces for people to enjoy. Hosting allows me to combine my love of hospitality and the Pacific Northwest in helping guests feel at home while experiencing the best of the city. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, I strive to make your experience seamless, comfortable, and memorable.

Why they chose this property

Ballard is one of Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods. It has a rich Scandinavian heritage, vibrant food scene, charming boutiques, and incredible access to the outdoors. I love how you can spend the morning at the Ballard Farmers Market, enjoy fresh oysters by the water in the afternoon, and take a peaceful sunset stroll along the Locks or Golden Gardens. The property is also just two blocks from some of my favorite local spots: Delancey’s (amazing wood-fired pizza), Rosellini’s (incredible pastries), Tarasco (a cozy Mexican spot with karaoke), and Frankie & Jo’s (delicious plant-based ice cream). It’s a perfect mix of local flavor and laid-back charm.

What makes this property unique

This property is more than just a place to stay—it’s a thoughtfully curated retreat. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, the home blends modern comfort with cozy touches that reflect the character of the neighborhood. From the relaxing outdoor seating area to the light-filled interior, every detail has been designed to feel welcoming and functional. And with Ballard’s best pizza, pastries, ice cream, and even karaoke just two blocks away, guests truly get to enjoy a local experience right outside the door.
