About the host
Hosted by Natasha Avery
We have lived in Seattle for the last 25 years. Ballard is my favorite neighborhood in the city. Well connected to the music community. Self-professed foodie and cook. We love to sail and travel. We are happy to provide recommendations around town and have a binder with many recommendations.
Why they chose this property
This house is in a historic neighborhood in Seattle-Olympic Manor in Ballard. The homes are all mid century with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains and the Puget Sound. In December, most houses decorate and it is a city wide destination to view holiday decor-it's really amazing.
What makes this property unique
Guests that have stayed have said how they love that it feels like home and is quiet and spacious with everything they needed and that they love walking in the neighborhood.
