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.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Location, Location, Location... Capitol Hill is the most convenient neighborhood to downtown Seattle. from our building it is a lovely 15-20 minute walk to downtown.

A great place to stay in Seattle!

It's always nice to have the comforts of home on vacation, while still being able to take advantage of everything your destination has to offer. The Harrison Modern scores high on both counts. The apartment was very comfortable for us and our three-year-old son. Being able to cook and do laundry on-site was a real convenience. The Capitol Hill neighborhood is great, with plenty to do and see within easy walking distance. And downtown Seattle, with all its attractions, is also an easy walk from the Harrison Modern. If you need to go further out, there's quick access to the city's buses and trains. One of Seattle's real strengths as a city is its walkability, and the Harrison Modern's location really lets you experience that, without venturing too far from your "home away from home." All in all, it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
Owner response:Thanks for the review David, we are very lucky to have such a great location. I hope to see you back soon. Ian

Stayed in Seattle for 2 nights between Vancouver and Portland. Visited the Boeing Factory on the way which was fantastic and spent most a day at the EMP Centre and did the Underground Tour. Really enjoyed the city and wished we could have stayed longer. Apartment comfortable with all amenities we required with restaurants and supermarket close by.

Had a wonderful care free stay at the Modern. Location is close to everything and the surrounding neighborhoods are interesting to walk through at any time of day. Please note that 12th street is very busy and you will hear very interesting conversations late at night as people walk home from the clubs/bars/restaurants/coffee shops. We certainly were entertained by this though some nights it did bother us a bit when trying to get to sleep. Nothing that Ian can do about this so just enjoy the show! Also note that there is no central AC; Seattle typically may not need it but it can be awkward if you expect it. We were fine as we spent most of our time outside. Only suggestion - the lovely big flat screen tv only has very basic cable; it would be better to have more tv choices available or the ability to pay for on demand programming. We enjoyed the accomodations and the location greatly and would recommend it to family and friends. We would stay here again.

I rented the apartment for myself, my husband and our daughter (12). The apartment was clean and functional and of a very nice size. Access to the laundry room was very convenient and helpful as we were there for a week and being able to do lundry was great. The night we wanted to BBQ, the grill was out of gas. A quick call to Ian sorted that out as he brought his grill over and we used that. Great service! We had company one evening as well and it was nice that the kids could run around in the private garden area for a bit. Having the offstreet parking was also helpful as parking is at a premium. It is quite a hike up and down the street to get to buses and the grocery store. After the first time walking to the grocery I found out that I could park for free in the garage behind the QFC for 90 minutes - the cashier validates the ticket. This was a boon. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again (exect that it's rather expensive, but then everything in Seattle is!).

This was our first experience using HomeAway and overall it was a good one. Staying at the Harrison definitely allowed us to get to know the city on a more personal level. It was easy walking distance to many restaurants, coffee shops, etc. It is Capitol Hill so biking back to the Harrison can be a challenge! The property was clean and well maintained. We stayed in the 2 bedroom which had the private outdoor area which was wonderful to sit out in the evening! It was very simply accommodated but covered all basic needs. The kitchen could be better equipped for cooking meals as far as cookware (not enough pots and mixing bowls, no cookie sheets, no pepper which you wouldn't expect to have to buy) The master bedroom mattress was way too soft without any support. The unit had hardwood floors everywhere which are great except that there is a unit above and you heard constant footsteps at all hours which made it difficult to impossible to sleep in the bedroom with the twin beds. If you're not a light sleeper and like soft beds then you love it! As I said, overall it was a good experience.

Hello, I highly recommend staying at this property. The location was perfect and 4 of us were very comfortable. The apartment was immaculate, especially the bathroom. If you are looking for a place to get out and walk to see Seattle, have fun in the local establishments during happy hour, and retreat after a long day to enjoy a meal together, then this is perfect. The kitchen is very well stocked and the layout works perfect for everyone hanging around while you cook. My only suggestion is to buy a new barbecue and the twin beds could use some updating...I would ask prior to renting if the mattresses have been replaced like the king size. The owner obviously maintains this property extremely well and the set up for access is very professional.
Owner response:Thanks for your detailed review. After receiving your comments about the twin beds I have replaced them on August 17th, 2011 with Sealy Posturpedic mattresses. I have also replaced the burners on the BBQ. I very much appreciate the feedback without which I would not know items are needing to be replaced. Thanks you. Kind regards Ian

We were in town for a sad event, but staying at the Harrison Modern helped turn everything around and we had a delightful time! The place was clean and modern and very comfortable. Softest mattress I've ever slept on. Ian made us feel very well cared for, and the location was perfect for us! We could walk everywhere, which is a treat when you come from Texas. There were shops and restaurants and all kinds of street life in every direction, but "the modern" is tucked into a quiet little spot filled with flowers and darling homes right in the middle of it all. We ate Italian, French, Thai, Ethiopian,seafood and burgers. We hung out at tiny coffee houses and read newspapers and watched the people and their dogs. But the best was on our last night; we found a place on Broadway called Dilettante/mocha cafe. It was amazing! All they served was chocolate and martinis! Really! So fun! It was truly the dessert for our trip. Just keep in mind that this is not a place for little kids or people with disabilities. But the laundry room is brand new and first rate. Thanks Ian, we had a wonderful time. We will be back for sure!
Owner response:Thanks for the great review, I'm glad you liked the new king bed and the neighborhood. I hope to see you again soon. Regards Ian

We found the property to be very clean upon arrival, and comfortable. It was within easy walking distance of a very good grocery store (and a discount card helpfully provided!) and some great coffee stands. It allowed us easy access to the Seattle University area including some great ice cream, pleasant park area, and very nice views. There is a reasonably furnished kitchen, access to a shared laundry area, and a very pleasant backyard patio area. The home is furnished nicely with Ikea-style modern furniture. We found the large bed to be softer than most, but quite comfortable! Through no fault of the owner, we found TV choices on cable to be abysmal. Instead, grab an umbrella or a hoodie and go exploring!
Owner response:Thanks for the review Dan, glad you had a great visit, we are very blessed to be so well located. Regards Ian
