We loved this place. It had plenty of supplies, was so clean and nice, beautiful views, comfortable beds and was true to the description and pictures. We were on foot. The light train was inexpensive and super safe and clean. Harbor Steps is only a block away from the train station, 2-3 blocks from Pike’s Place, and maybe 5 or so blocks from an organic food market. We loved the place, location, communication, and really everything about this VRBO!

The view from the unit was incredible! We spent lots of time just looking out of the balcony and windows to watch the boats, ferries, cruise ships, ferris wheel and all the people at the piers. We even saw some Blue Angels fly by during the annual Seafair. Close to Pier Market, the wharf, Target, and lots of dining options.

The view was absolutely amazing! The location of the property was perfect as well. Neighborhood was very walkable. Biggest downsides were tiny 2nd bedroom with poor quality twin beds and the overall condition of the unit. Blind was broken, lower walls & baseboards were scuffed & stained, very small balcony was dirty. The unit could really use a refresh for the nightly rate.Overall, we were satisfied because we didn’t spend much time in the unit.

Amazing location!

As a first time visitor to Seattle, this was the best location! Everything is nearby, Pike Place, the waterfront, restaurants, attractions, the ferry to Bainbridge, it’s all within a few minutes walk.As far as the views are concerned, I doubt you will find a better view. The living room has panoramic views of the waterfront, with the wheel front and center and then look to the left and its Mount Rainier in all its glory! The apartment itself is nice. It was clean and fairly modern. Our kids absolutely loved it.Things they should tell you.Hold the fob over the #2 key to gain entry to the main lobby. Also, the trash can be disposed of down the hall, look for the door with the fishbones on it.All things considered, we would be very happy to stay here again on our next Seattle trip.
The harbor steps are just outside the lobby and bring you to various restaurants and also down to the waterfront.
Glorious view of Mount Rainier at sunset.

Location, location, location

Loved the location and views. However the two twin bed mattresses were NOT comfortable, one of my adult daughters chose to sleep on the couch in the living room. There is mold in the master bathroom shower and not just a little. The dishwasher was not emptied and there was a layer of light grease splatter on the range top. Whoever is supposed to clean, is not doing their job properly. Otherwise I would highly recommend this property.

We - 4 adults - stayed here for a Seattle sports guys weekend away. The property was clean, quiet, and well-appointed. The views were incredible! Only note - of the three single beds (as listed in the second room), one was a mattress stored in the closet. It was not enough of an issue to rate this property anything less than five stars. I would absolutely rent this unit again.

Fun Adult Family Vacation

The location was ideal being a short walk to Pike's Place Market and the view was incredible. There are nice restaurants immediately adjacent to the Harbor Steps. I recommend not using a car at this location and it isn't really necessary unless you are headed out of the downtown area. The parking garage has very tight parking spaces and maneuvering around large columns. I was also expecting better furnishings for the price point of this unit.
