  Loved the location, we could walk to everything. Condo was comfortable. The building was secured and our car was in covered parking garage under the condo. Easy access to Pike Market, aquarium, waterfront, and restaurants. We also were able to take monorail to space needle. Really loved the Chihuly glass exhibit in space needle area. Definitely a great place to stay in Seattlr downtown area.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing.

  Swam in the pool, soaked in the spa, these were appreciated after a day exploring. VRBO was a comfortable, clean home-away-from-home. Even the "air bed" for company gave our guests a good night sleep. Lack of view was only negative. I never realized how important this was to us. Loved having a washer & dryer, less clothes meant hand carry was all we needed for our ten days. Being close to the water front, watching the ferries & cruise ships, just what we wanted.

  Owner response: So glad another guest loved our apartment. Remember, this is our only Harbor Steps unit without a view and all the others have balconies too. It makes this unit quite economical in comparison. Inquire about all our downtown Harbor Steps units!

  You know what they say, location location location! Harbor steps is the best location to stay when in Seattle and this wonderful apartment makes it that much better. First off everything is new, clean and well kept. You can really tell they strive to make your living/staying there as nice as possible. There is nice community feel to it and not the hussle of a hotel atmosphere. The apartment is roomie, homie and beautiful and the bed is big and comfy! Harbor steps is close to everything! And I mean everything, if you don't feel like walking Seattle has a great transit system. I really enjoyed the short 2 block walk to the best market I've ever been to, pikes place! My only dissapiontment was the view meaning there was't much of one. BUT picture properties has other apartments in the complex with views so I will be trying those out next trip! If your looking for a great place in a great location this is as good as it gets!!

  This is a wonderful condo with everything a person(s) requires. It is perfectly furnished, extremely clean and ideally located near the Seattle waterfront, Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square and the entire downtown area. It is also within a two block walk to the light-rail system, which is outstanding, as well as within two blocks to the metro buses. Plus, there is underground secure parking available. The check-in and check-out were simple and efficient. We found the building tenants friendly and helpful too. We've rented other condos and would rate this one A+. The other thing that makes this condo special is the professionalism and attentiveness of Debra who makes your stay perfect. She is amazing to work with. We highly recommend Debra and the condos at Harbor Steps. You will not be disappointed.

  My wife, six year old and I had a great stay. It felt like a brand new place when we walked in. Everything seemed new! There are great places to eat and drink right outside the front door. The plaza with the cherry tree blossoms out front was a great surprise! The hot tub and lap tank downstairs made for a great way to start out or end the day. The market just down the stairs couldn't be more convenient. The access to Pike market and the Triple Door music club was fantastic. Our last couple of hours were spent at the Seattle Art Museum right across the street. We hope to be back soon and take in the symphony just down the block.

  We stayed at Harbor Steps for Thanksgiving 2012 (the second time in 5 months) and it was just as wonderful as when we stayed in June 2012. The property is comfortable, clean, convenient, well equiped and the owner is great to work with. It definitely feels like home. We will travel to Seattle again and I know we will stay a 3rd time!

  We had a fantastic experience renting this property. We have stayed at much more expensive hotels in the same area, and this apartment had much more room and amenities, was very easy to arrange and get to, and the location is superb. I only have positive things to say: Debra at Picture Properties was excellent to work with, the apartment was great, having a washer/dryer was super helpful, being directly across the street from the Seattle Art Museum and 1 1/2 blocks from Pike's Market was super. The only thing is that the view isn't great, but given the price, that was not a problem for us. I am excited about possibly renting the larger apartment in the same complex on a future visit. I highly, highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in downtown Seattle!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Yes, this unit is a great value - glad they enjoyed their stay. If you really want a balcony and view, we have two 2-bedrooms and two large studios at Harbor Steps with views. Please inquire! Debra

  My husband and I stayed here while visiting family for a week. We truly loved the location! We loved the space. Everything was clean. The king bed was ultra comfortable. It was nice to have our own kitchen and washer and dryer for this length of stay. Debra was super helpful and quick to respond. We happened to stay when the weather was beautiful and hot for Seattle. So the reason I gave this 4 stars is that this room did not have Air Conditioning. This was not clear in the properties description. I noticed it in writing on the documents after booking. So if you are traveling when the weather might be warm to hot, this is something to consider. The building itself has AC in the halls and common areas, but this room does not have any. It made it hard to sleep a few of the nights even with the fan on. We could not keep the window open at night because of the street noise. (The street noise did not bother us otherwise.) We would definitely consider staying here again, when the weather is cooler. We would still highly recommend this rental. It was a great location, nice space, had parking and the amenities we needed/wanted for this length of stay. Just a side note - we learned our last day there that businesses near by may give you a discount for mentioning that you are staying at the Harbor Steps. We had been getting our morning coffee at Fonte’s and they told us this our last day there. Just happened to be the only day we mentioned it. Their coffee and breakfasts are great by the way!

  Owner response: We were certainly disappointed to get our first review that was not 5 stars just because we do not have AC (and don't advertise as such). It is true that no apartments at Harbor Steps have air conditioning (not just ours), it is not an option there. This is common for the majority of residences in Seattle, as we rarely do need it here. VRBO does not have a place to check if you don't have AC, only if you do. We also mention it in our contract, which you can read before you make payment. I have personally slept there in summer time with windows open and been able to sleep fine (we are on floor 11 here). If you need AC, you may want to book a hotel. Feel free to contact us with questions. Thanks!

  We really enjoyed our stay at the condo! It had everything we needed, and was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The location is fabulous - right by Pike Place Market, walking distance to the Space Needle, and just down the street from Pioneer Square. We have a one year old so it was very nice that the condo came with a Pack N' Play and a high chair. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Seattle. Thanks so much!
