We enjoyed our stay! The Guest House was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. It's located in a nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. It also had a lovely patio to enjoy :)

A lovely quiet cottage in a gorgeous Seattle neighborhood, walking distance to the beach. Convenient to everything. The bed was insanely comfortable, and the kitchen, well-appointed. I can’t rave enough about this place!

Spotless, very pretty inside and out. Imagine my surprise when I needed an ice pack and there was one in the freezer. Comfortable bed. Kitchen is well equipped. Excellent quality. Quiet location. Private garden outdoor area/ patio. Nice shrubbery, some flowers in bloom. Parking reliably available right in front of the house. Absolutely top quality. Easy to communicate with owners, very responsive.

The sunset hill guest house is just blocks from the park which has spectacular sunsets. The family neighborhood is quiet but close to coffee shops and restaurants. The cottage was immaculate and we appreciated having a washer and dryer. Easy street parking and friendly hosts. Be sure to catch the Ballard farmers market on Sunday mornings!

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

The local wine and Theo chocolate was a thoughtful host gift. We enjoyed the courtyard and lovely gardens and the area was walkable to several parks/beaches/restaurants and on street parking was easy. We'll be back for sure!

Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful setting. We loved having a full living room separate from the bedroom. The bathroom looked virtually brand new, loved the shower. And we actually used the washer dryer, it came in handy! Cafés, restaurants and supermarket were centrally located which was helpful. The owners were very lovely people as well, which is an added plus.

Located in a very cute neighborhood, this place was very clean and comfortable. There was a smart TV, good cookware, and washer/dryer. There’s a very helpful booklet of neighborhood eats. I only wish there was a full length mirror and a rod to hang clothes on. There are coat hangers/racks but it is not the same. It is nestled in a very cute yard. Check in was easy. Couldn’t ask for a better stay in Seattle. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed the guest house and neighborhood a lot. Parking was always available. Space was clean. The ability to do laundry was appreciated. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet and peaceful. The house book also provided things to do and food recs. Would stay here again. I think the only thing the property could benefit from would be a full length mirror.

The area was so beautiful with flowering trees and bushes. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. I felt genuinely welcomed. I found excellent bus connections to Ballard, downtown and Northgate--all the same bus. I'm planning on making it a yearly visit.

We needed help to get in late our first night because of an airline flight that was delayed about 2 1/2 hrs and our hosts accommodated for us graciously. They even had a few house warming gifts for us. The whole place was immaculate. We will be staying here when we come to Seattle to visit our family in the future!!

We very much enjoyed this peaceful retreat. The guesthouse is in a safe and quiet but walkable neighborhood, tucked back from the street and in a lovely garden setting. Inside, it’s beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed including an electric teakettle—something we use at home and usually miss when we are away from home. There is even a washer and dryer—very nice to have. And the cottage is full of thoughtful moments, from labels light switches to the artwork to the charming little book that describes neighborhood walks, restaurants, and more. One of our best travel accommodations anywhere, and we will likely be back next time we visit our family in Seattle.

Located in a very cute neighborhood, this place was very clean and comfortable. There was a smart TV, good cookware, and washer/dryer. There’s a very helpful booklet of neighborhood eats. I only wish there was a full length mirror and a rod to hang clothes on. There are coat hangers/racks but it is not the same. It is nestled in a very cute yard. Check in was easy. Couldn’t ask for a better stay in Seattle. Highly recommend.

Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful setting. We loved having a full living room separate from the bedroom. The bathroom looked virtually brand new, loved the shower. And we actually used the washer dryer, it came in handy! Cafés, restaurants and supermarket were centrally located which was helpful. The owners were very lovely people as well, which is an added plus.

We loved our stay in this ideal location with friendly hosts and all the creature comforts one needs. The neighborhood is quiet and alley parking a convenient plus. We hope to stay again!

We stayed for a week here and fell in LOVE with ballard and the property. Since the owners live on the property it's easy to ask for special requests and they will have lovely reccomendations for food/activities/etc. Will be staying here again!

The sunset hill guest house is just blocks from the park which has spectacular sunsets. The family neighborhood is quiet but close to coffee shops and restaurants. The cottage was immaculate and we appreciated having a washer and dryer. Easy street parking and friendly hosts. Be sure to catch the Ballard farmers market on Sunday mornings!

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed at the Ballard Sunset Hill Guest House for 2 nights during our anniversary trip. The home was exactly as described and perfect for us! The hosts were incredibly friendly and we enjoyed chatting with them. They were happy to provide recommendations to us, which we took and were very happy with! They also provide a guide when staying that has tons of helpful information including hand drawn maps of neighborhoods around the area. We had a lovely time!

We enjoyed the guest house and neighborhood a lot. Parking was always available. Space was clean. The ability to do laundry was appreciated. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet and peaceful. The house book also provided things to do and food recs. Would stay here again. I think the only thing the property could benefit from would be a full length mirror.

Lovely little house in a cute, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants, a bakery and a little market, as well as the beach and park at Golden Gardens. Host gives tons of helpful information about the area and recommendations. We really enjoyed it.

Yeon and Javier are very friendly to work with and provide excellent service. For instance the toaster stopped working and they ordered a new one immediately. They are always making sure that everything is handled and I felt very well taken care of.

The place was perfect for our short stay over the holidays. Checkin was very smooth, and everything was just as we expected. It was clean, and a nice size for two. I'd stay there again!
