Why the Owner Chose Capitol Hill
Seattle is a vibrant city full of amazing sights from world class architecture, vibrant arts scene, to spectacular outdoor activities. Capitol Hill, is the perfect location to explore all Seattle and everything the region has to offer. If you are not traveling outside the city you won't need a car, everything is within an easy walk or a short bus ride. Within 3 short blocks of the building are a a number of great restaurants, shops and cafes, 2 supermarkets and 3 wonderful city parks. Capitol Hill is a rich, diverse, neighborhood with multi million mansions and a wonderful farmers market within blocks of each other. One thing I am sure about... You will love the location.
I have done a lot of traveling and believe that Seattle and the Pacific North West is one of the most beautiful, livable, areas in the North America.

We stayed at Harrison Modern for a quick getaway and the location is amazing. We were able to walk to bars, shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. The decor of the apartment was also impressive and I love the mid-century feel. We will definitely stay there again next time.

This will be a short review as I have little to say except great appartment, great location. In short, the description does not lie: the place has a nice spacious feel, it was very clean, a nice (huge) bed, etc, all as advertised. Probably the best thing about it for me was the location. Capitol hill has loads of shops, bars, restuarants etc a couple of blocks in either direction, buses downtown too. I think where it says "easy 15 to minute walk" to reach the aquarium, pike place market, space needle and all that list, it is supposed to say "15 to 30", realistically it took more like half an hour to get to downtown or the waterfront, this is still good going of course. Finally it was very smooth to book with Ian so all in all, highly satisfied, would definitely stay here again or recommend it to friends.
Owner response:Thanks for the review Stephen. Glad you enjoyed the location. Best Ian

My friend and I stayed for a week, we were at a convention at the Washington State Covention Centre. We brought our car but left it at the unit because it was such a nice walk to the centre. Took us about 25 minutes and took a different route each time. The accommadations were excellent. Clean, roomy, well equiped and the bed and the hide away bed were very comfortable. Seattle is a lovely town and everything is very close in the downtown area so you can walk easily to many things including the Pike Place Market. I would recommend this to anyone including my family and friends. I give it 5 stars.

A Fun Fall Get Away

We stayed in this unit for about three weeks during Fall 2011. We were in Seattle to visit our kids, grandkids, sister, and mother. Because it was an extended visit we wanted to have "a place of our own". We loved it. The location is unbelievable. Every morning it was a short walk to Broadway or 15th for coffee. It was the same short walk for groceries and some great restaurants. Our relatives live in West Seattle, Bellevue and on Capital Hill. We were right in the middle so it was easy to get everywhere. First impression was how nice and clean it was. The kitchen is well equipped. We were even able to have a family dinner at our house! The bed was comfortable and there was a good amount of storage. We loved the coded keyless entry so we didn't have to keep track of keys. Ian has lots of brochures and tourist information for those who are new to Seattle. Laundry facilities were right out side our kitchen door with nice modern machines and it was free (even provided the soap). The parking place was a huge plus as parking is very difficult in Seattle. Thanks Ian for having a clean comfortable place that we could call home! We make several trips to Seattle each year and we would definitely love to stay here again.
Owner response:Thanks DeAnna for the detailed review. It was great to meet you and your husband, I look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Ian

My husband, 20-month-old and I traveled to Seattle for a family vacation and chose this apartment based on its great reviews. I can't overstate how much we loved the apartment. The location is superb. We were able to walk to downtown in about 15 minutes and could easily take both the bus and taxis to any tourist locations. It's also within walking distance to anything you could ever need - coffee, food, groceries, beautiful parks, even an urgent care (unfortunately, we found this out the hard way when my son spiked a fever, but he's fine). The apartment itself is really tastefully decorated with all the amenities we could ask for. It even gave me a few ideas of things to get at home! We felt truly relaxed and at home and we really didn't want to leave. We will definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to Seattle. Thanks so much to Ian for providing a wonderful place to stay (and great recommendations for food..the pizza was fantastic)!
Owner response:Thanks Johanna for the posting. I look forward to your return trip to Seattle. Regards Ian

We were looking for an apartment outside of downtown and happy to find Ian's place in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The unit was in the perfect location. Close enough to downtown – an easy 20 minute walk “down” and back “up” on the way home (or about an $8-$10 cab ride). The neighborhood was really quiet and relatively safe. We had only 1 encounter with a happy drunk woman who wanted to hold our hands as we walked down 12th Street towards Pike. The Capital Hill neighborhood was perfect for us – only a few blocks down to Broadway with easy access to the QFC grocery store, restaurants (be sure to check out Table 219 for breakfast) and coffee (Vivace). You can also walk along 12th Street for some good restaurants (Barrio Mexican) and Wine Bars (The Local Vine). If you have no car and you’re not into walking, you can get easy access to cabs and buses only a few blocks away. There are many pluses to the Harrison Modern including free wireless access, roomy apartment, kitchen with fridge and shared washer/dryer facility. There are also several negatives that should be noted as well. ·The listing boasts “new bed” but I’m pretty sure the mattress was old because it was very uncomfortable and sags into the center....which lead to 3 pretty bad nights of sleep. ·The listing also boasts new HDTV but there seemed to be only 2 HD channels (maybe NBC and ABC) and no access to others that we wanted – i.e. ESPN, Comedy Central, etc. ·One of the two couches was a little scary with dirt stains so we kept to the other couch the entire time. ·The showerhead is really short so somewhat tricky/uncomfortable to take a shower. (I'm only 6'0") ·The unit does not include a dishwasher and the maid service does not clean the dishes in between stays. So, you have to rely on the (who were renting the unit prior to you) to wash the glasses, dishes and silverware appropriately and not just rinse them out with water and then stick them back on the shelf. Overall, I would give this unit 3.5 out of 5 stars. It gets high marks for location and space but losses a bit on some standard luxuries you receive with a hotel. I think the value was really great for the money but I would only consider staying here again if they get a new mattress that doesn’t sag in the middle.
Owner response:Thanks for your honest and frank review, I will look into the mattress and post the outcome - this is the first comment we have had with this mattress.

The apartment looks exactly like the pics. The location is exceptional--outside of downtown, but close to many shops and restaurants. Park nearby as well and the grocery is only 2 blocks away. Downtown is about a 20 minute walk, but a pleasant one. Great place to stay and see Seattle.
Owner response:Great to have your review. We hope to see you back soon. Regards Ian

We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful home. It was more than what we expected and truly a great deal. The furnitures and appliances are modern and well-maintained. The design and set-up of the home is just so warm and cozy. The location is walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, and bus stops. I don't think I'ld stay anywhere else but here -way better than staying at a hotel. Thanks, Ian, for keeping this home so nice and affordable! I look forward to staying here again.
Owner response:Hi Nina, Thanks you for taking the time to review our property, it is always gives me a great feeling to exceed our guests expectations. I look forward to your return.
