Harrison Modern- Luxury Penthouse- Huge Private Deck City View
Year Purchased: 1995
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.

Perfect Location for a short or long term stay

Harrison Modern was perfect for our 2 month stay. “The Modern” offers off-street parking (a real plus), well furnished and meticulously maintained apartments, well-equipped kitchens, very comfortable beds, and excellent laundry facilities. The Capitol Hill location is awesome. A variety of great restaurants, good grocery stores, the Sunday Public Market, a branch library, and many other services are all within easy walking distance from “The Modern”. Public transportation is also easily accessible. Walk 2 blocks south and catch a bus to the downtown Seattle Center and the Light Rail station, which will take you to the airport or the sports arenas. Or you can walk 3 blocks west to Broadway St. and catch a bus to various medical facilities. We highly recommend the apartments for short or long term stays and we plan to stay again on our next trip to Seattle.

We enjoyed our entire experience at the Harrison Modern. Ian made the rental process very easy and provided us with great information before we left home. The building is in a great location. Capital Hill is filled with shops and restaurants and is an easy walk or bus ride in to the city. The condo is super clean and well stocked. We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend to others.
Owner response:Great to hear!! Thanks for the review. Ian

Ideal Seattle Stay

Review Submitted: 10/01/11
This spacious condo was perfect for our stay. With its large rooms and amenities, we never had that cramped, living-from-a-suitcase feeling that often comes with travel. The Capitol Hill location allowed us to leave our car and walk many places around town (and get some games of tennis in at Cal Anderson Park). The off-street parking made it convenient to drive when we needed to. A great base for our sojourns and a comfortable home to return to. It's worth mentioning what a bonus it is to be renting from Ian. Always welcoming and helpful, his many tips about the offerings of the neighborhood and city keep any traveler from feeling at sea and can lead you to some local delights. We are both former Seattleites and can't imagine a better place for our future visits.
Owner response:Thanks for the review.... I am glad I was able to help you with some local recommendations. Regards Ian

We loved the location, easy walk to to most things, short walk to major bus lines. Quiet at night for a great night sleep. Loved having a kitchen for breakfast and coffee...late night snacks! we had a roof t top terrace, which was great early am as well as for a view of the mountains and the sunset in the evening. We will be back!

Our expectations were exceeded when we arrived. The photos provided on the web are lovely, but in person the accommodations are much nicer. Our first impressions were how clean it was, and we tried very hard to keep it that way. We stayed in the larger unit with the full deck and grill, which was one of the nicest features and we used it a lot. A view of the water and mountains could be seen from the right side of the deck! The kitchen was well equipped with most anything one would need, including spices, and such, which I'm sure were left overs from previous guests. We even added our own small contributions of a few things we bought but didn't want to take home. Ian has two grocery store discount cards available for guests to use at QFC and Safeway. We only shopped at QFC and it saved us a bunch!!! The complimentary laundry facilities were the BEST! Location is great, easy walk downhill to downtown and the water. Bus lines are also convenient and close by. The 49 on Broadway and Thomas takes you straight into downtown for $2.50 or .75 if one is a senior. Drivers issue a free transfer which could be used for the trip back, valid for 3 hrs. Great deal! Nice way to avoid the up hill climb :-) We left our iphone charger in the unit upon checking out, and Ian was kind enough to help us reunite with one of his! How nice is that?? If our daughter still lives in the Capitol Hill area on our next trip, we will definitely be booking with Harrison Modern again. Vera (end of July to early August 2011)
Owner response:Thanks for the review Vera: We do have a great bus service almost from our doorstep... I'm glad you have a great visit, I am also glad I was able to get you an iPhone charger before you left for Florida. I look forward to seeing you on your next visit. Kind regards Ian

Our stay at Harrison Modern was everything we could hope for--clean,spacious, convenient, fully equipped with everything we needed! This was perfect for our 1 week stay, so much better than a hotel. We even made use of the great deck and grill. The location can't be beat and the walk back up Pike from downtown isn't as bad as it looks...another recommended activity to work off all the eating(so many great restaurants;be sure to check out Ian's list) is rent a kayak from Agua Verde by UW and paddle out to Lake Union to look at boats and sea planes or Lake Washington to see wildlife. Highly recommended! We look forward to our next stay!
Owner response:Thanks for the review. You are right about the walk back from Downtown... it keeps you in shape : ) We look forward to having you back. Regards Ian

Thank you, Ian for a great apartment to plop and relax. We had a great time and your place was awesome. It was so easy to get around using your place as the home base, walking, the bus, cabs, and driving a car. We will definitely revisit your place, great location, QFC Market is tops, great shopping and eateries, and friendly environment. The apartment was comfortable, had all the enemities needed, user friendly, and location was super. We thank you again and look forward to our next visit, Karie, Zell, & Ruthie.

Lovely spot in the heart of Capitol Hill. Great porch. Nice large bed. Reasonable rates. If you like to watch tv the cable is pretty basic, but the neighborhood is great, so get out and walk around.

Get a real sense of the city
Guest: Blake
(Lawrence, KS)
Date of Stay: 04/13/11
Review Submitted: 04/21/11
I came to Seattle for a geography conference where I gave a lecture about how people develop emotional connections to places. So it was appropriate that we ended staying at Harrison Modern because it really gave a sense of place that you can't get when you stay at a hotel downtown, or a place in the burbs. The location is fantastic, you get a feel for the neighborhood, you meet people who live in there, you go to restaurants that locals go to, and for a short time, at least, you feel like more than just a tourist, you feel incorporated into the fabric of the city. Skip the Space Needle, and walk up the stree to Volunteer Park and climb to the water tower observation deck. Skip the mediocre (but expensive) seafood at Lowell's on Pike Place Market, and get the fried soft shell crab four blocks away at Octo Sushi. Walk up the hill and catch open mic night at the Hopvine Pub, and next door get the best Thai food in town (Coconut chicken is decadent!). Two bus routes pass within blocks (43 picks up on John two blocks away; 10 goes along 15th at the top of the hill). Oh, yeah, the place is nice too! Clean, well kept, and comfortable. I felt right at home. Thanks, Ian!
Owner response:Hi Blake, Thanks for the amazing bio in the building.... What more can I say. but... THANKS.
