Nicer than photos appear

I settled on this place due to the location. We were pleasantly surprised with how the place looked once there. It is very clean, bright, and newer looking than in photos. For us, it was all about location, but this was an added benefit. And, location...perfect!

great stay for a sensitive person

This was one of the best places that we've stayed at! we were in town for a conference and like the ability to have a place to cook our food and eat healthy. the problem for us is that one of us is mold sensitive and sometimes it's hard to rent online and know what you're going to be getting. so I comb all the reviews to see if I can find anything about mold or musty smell or I look at a place in general to see if it looks dark or dreary and may possibly have mold. I have to say without a doubt that there was no mold in this apartment. we did stay up on the 15th floor the view is great! the location is stellar but most important it was clean but didn't have the chemical fake fragrance smell and it didn't have any mold and we are very sensitive and would have noticed. as a side note the other nice thing was that we could actually unplug the wi-fi at night so that when we slept we were Wi-Fi free as we're also a little sensitive to that too. anyway it was a sensitive person's dream and I'll always keep this place in mind if I return to Seattle.

Perfect Location!

This is a safe building in the middle of everything. Walkable, with loads of restaurants and Pikes Market only a few blocks away. 24 hr super helpful and friendly concierge and parking available for an additional cost. Had some issues in the beginning ( no ones fault, just maintenence stuff) and it was promptly addressed... if only they could also control Seattle's weather, haha. I had a rainy afternoon and night but doordash solved that with easy delivery and I ate my meal in the comfy apartment with outstanding view and balcony. If I return to Seattle I would stay there again.

Location was good

For such a beautiful location and the higher end price, we expected a bit more. Terrible system to unlock front door.. NEVER opened correctly, and we had to wait 5 minutes each time for it to reset. Towels were old, toiletries (tiny soap and cheap suave shampoo) were worse than a Motel 6. And we were expected to do the wash and dishes before leaving at 11am. Windows had cheap dusty plastic vertical blinds and no curtains as pictured. Balcony not swept and pillows cheap and uncomfortable. Would not stay again.

Seattle vacation

First time in Seattle and we picked this location due to great reviews and central location as we didn’t rent a car. Debra was so so easy to work with and gave us very complete information regarding check in/out and information about the apartment we rented. We especially liked the 24 concierge service at Harbor Steps as they helped us with directions/restaurants/taxi rides. Harbor Steps is a quiet and clean building and walkable to the waterfront, Pike Place Market, the ferry terminal to Bainbridge Island, Space Needle and many restaurants. It also was close to both of our pick up locations for our day trips out of Seattle. It’s even close to Target to get food and supplies. Highly recommend this apartment

Deep in the Heart of Seattle

The location of this VRBO is fantastic. You can easily watch the water taxis, cruise ships, and Blue Angels (while we were there) from the balcony. The property was very clean. We were within walking distance of many location we wanted to visit. Please believe the information saying there is no air-conditioning. While we were there Seattle was having record highs.

Amazing views!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. They view was spectacular. You can see all of downtown Seattle and Elliot bay. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships and ferries come and go, and the people watching was good fun too. Apartment was well stocked, couches and beds were comfortable. Location was great....we tried many of the restaurants downstairs (Von's is recommended) and walked to Pike Place several times. Check in was easy and our host was kind enough to accommodate an early check-in request. Communication was thorough throughout. Can't wait for our next stay!
