“I see a carefully renovated building that retains its early 20th-century charm, now positioned steps from Ballard's lively dining and nightlife. The shared bathrooms, though perhaps unexpected, seem to be meticulously maintained. For travelers seeking an authentic, walkable Seattle experience-especially couples-this could be an interesting alternative to more standardized options.”
