Welcome to your home away from home! We hope you enjoy your stay in our newly remodeled basement apartment. It has tons of natural light, fully stocked kitchen and space to relax or get work done w/ fast internet. We are located within steps of the rapid ride bus line that takes you downtown, as well as a handful of exquisite coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and ice cream! About 5 short blocks from groceries & gas and a nice stroll to Sunset Hill Park to overlook the Olympic Mountain Range!
This is the basement unit of our very first home. It’s recently renovated and fully modernized. We hope you enjoy it!
We have a keyless entry lock to make it easy for you to check in at whatever hour you arrive.
The larger bedroom has a king-sized bed and a small walk-in closet. The smaller bedroom has a desk, chair, and twin bed. This bed can be converted to a king-sized bed, for which we provide linens. When fully extended, the room can be a little bit snug. We also have a portable crib and crib mattress, if needed.
The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and cookware. We do not have additional ingredients, so plan to bring your own. The living room is equipped with a SmartTV with access to all the streaming apps.
Additionally, there is a shared laundry room in the basement. The laundry space is shared with the upper unit, Lady Mary Cottage. Each unit has secure locks to their private spaces.
Please note this unit does not have air conditioning; we do provide two box fans. There are heaters in every room with individual thermostats.
We will gladly offer any recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing, or other activities.
We ask that guests not throw parties, play loud music, or bring animals into the space.
The upstairs unit is also available for rent. Let us know if you’re interested in booking both. Or search “Lady Mary 3 Bedroom Ballard Cottage”.
If you have any questions during your stay, please text or call us.
Rosellini's : a quick walk from our home and has some of the best coffee and pastries!
The Fat Hen: walking distance. Has a delicious breakfast.
Delancey: walking distance and has wood-fired pizza.
Essex: walking distance and has great drinks and burgers
Frankie and Joe's: walking distance and has plant-based ice cream (we know it sounds weird... but it will rock your world if you give it a try!)
A bus line that goes directly downtown is located just a half block from our house. Street parking is available and free.
Henry’s Hideaway is the lower unit of an older home. We’ve done our best with thicker drywall and noise-dampening insulation, but footsteps can be heard when the upper unit is booked.
We are a shoes off home. With the Seattle weather we greatly appreciate your cooperation in keeping your shoes off at all times inside.
There is no smoking of any kind allowed (i.e. cigarettes, vaping or marijuana) and no drugs allowed on the property.
No eating or drinking (other than water) on the beds. If you are eating while sitting on the living room furniture please be mindful.
No parties or gatherings are allowed. We ask that you if you have visitors other than those claimed in your booking that the total number of people does not exceed 5.
Quiet hours are from 9pm - 7am, because there are two rentals on this property we ask you be considerate of volume at all hours but especially between 9pm and 7am.
Be sure to lock all the doors when coming and going.
Breaking these rules can result in the termination of your booking.
