High Style and Vintage Charm in Private Garden Cottage

This is a private guest bungalow, fully detached from the main house. Main living area converts from hang-out room, to dining table/work surface seating for four, to bedroom. Wallbed holds a Leesa high-end foam mattress, and wall-mounted tv swivels for viewing from the bed or leather loveseat. DVD/blu-ray player with a selection of movies, access to Netflix, and dedicated wifi. The all-in-one vintage kitchenette includes sink, stovetop, oven, and refrigerator. Microwave, kettle, french press, pots, pans, & utensils. The tiled bathroom is stocked with towels and bathrobes, soap, shampoo & conditioner, hair-dryer, and make-up wipes. The bungalow is all yours, and feel free to hang out wherever you like in the shared yard. Guests staying 3 nights and longer can arrange access to our washer & dryer. Host is readily available, in person or via phone/text. We are a family of four, so the yard is a shared space with us and our two young daughters, a couple of cats, and the hubbub of family life. We are often outside when the weather is nice, working in the garden, splashing in the small pool, and generally hanging out. The property is in the Loyal Heights area of Ballard, just south of Crown Hill. Ballard is a hip, historic neighborhood in Seattle's northwest corner known as a hotspot for new restaurants and bars, urban development, and Scandinavian heritage. There is street parking directly in front of the main house. It's a short 3-block walk to the RapidRide D Line bus running frequently to/from downtown Seattle. It is 1.5 miles to the heart of Old Ballard, 1.5 miles to Golden Gardens Park (beach), 2 miles to Green Lake Park, and 2.3 miles to Woodland Park Zoo. The cottage plumbing is on a sump pump. PLEASE remember that only toilet paper and, well, you know, can go into the toilet. NO feminine hygiene products. At all. Thank you.
