This is the perfect location for a real Seattle vacation. Its close to everything with easy access to all the fun venues in downtown Seattle.Great view!!
We love this condo!! This was our second time staying here. It’s perfect. The only thing that could be better are the beds, they are very uncomfortable

Glad another guest had a great time. Beds are a matter of preference, as we have other reviews commenting how comfortable the beds are. Thanks!
Even though we provided our arrival time, no one was there to check us in. The concierge did not show up for work that day. Fortunately there was a security guard on duty. After almost an hour he managed a work around and came up with a key card so we could get into the place. The view and location was great.

That was a very unfortunate situation with the concierge not there. I had no idea about it until after it was over. I only wish they would have called me since since I could have buzzed them into their tower so easily. That is the first time that we know of where a concierge did not show up for work. We apologized profusely. If you have any issues or questions during your stay, always make sure to call. Thanks! Debra, Picture Properties
Perfect location if you don't have a car! We walked everywhere and that included to Pike's Market, the Space Needle, the Seattle Great Wheel area, the Underground Tour and all areas in between! We arrived by train that was delayed, but communication with Debra was great and check-in was quick! Everything was clean and rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable for everyone in our group. Would definitely come back and stay here again to try and catch a view of "the mountain"!
Outstanding clean, spacious, beautiful views centrally located place to stay in Seattle. Well stocked with everything you need including really comfortable beds and couches. Debra from picture properties was awesome to work with. We will definitely be back.
We had a fantastic stay in Seattle! The view from the property was absolutely beautiful and made every morning and evening special. The location truly couldn’t be better — we were able to walk everywhere, from restaurants and shops to major attractions, which made the trip incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The place itself was comfortable, clean, and exactly as described. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for exploring the city and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the nice review! And wow - what a great photo of the view from the unit! Beautiful sunset!
Loved the size of the unit, as it was much bigger than we thought it would be. The view is spectacular. The location is perfect. We felt very safe walking everywhere, and loved being so close to Pike Place Market and the gorgheous waterfront park.
This property was everything we needed prior to heading off to our cruise! Walking distance to all the sights we wanted to see and the Property Manager is exceptional in sharing all the details needed for a great stay!
Place was fabulous, view outstanding, close to every thing
Five star. Every thing so close. The Harbor Steps is a beautiful location.
