I'd go back at the drop of a hat!
A guest from Monona, WI recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in July, 2009
Had a fabulous gals' getaway in Seattle with my sisters, and this property's location is the best! Walk to Pike Place Market, Seattle Center, Aquarium, wharf, and Pioneer Square. Seattle Art Museum and cute coffee houses right across the street. Best of all, the view of Puget Sound from the windows and small balcony is stunning. You can even see Mount Ranier when the weather cooperates. Ferries to Bainbridge (and other islands), as well as the West Seattle water taxi are right here. Urban amenities with a glorious natural view. Excellent little market right next door run by super-nice people. In fact,everyone in Seattle treated us with warmth and respect during our visit. We all just loved the city and our deluxe apartment in the sky! The only reason I do not give a five star rating based on property condition is that we traveled during a record heat spell and there is no central AC. However, a portable unit and fans were provided, and we were able to cool off. Due to the property's urban location, expect traffic noise from below. The view from the master bedroom and living room is drop-dead gorgeous, and the sofa bed is even comfortable. Twin beds in second bedroom can be converted to queen. Very nice kitchen and baths. Very nicely furnished, pacious and comfortable--better closet and dresser space than my home! Our group of four just loved it. Large groups could even rent multiple units in the building. The balcony would not be a good place for small children but would otherwise be family friendly.

Great location
A guest from Nainaimo, BC recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in July, 2009
In Seattle during the heat wave - the condo definitely needs help with keeping the place cooler. Bedrms were stifling hot even with fan; vertical blinds do little to keep out heat - perhaps sunblocking drapes would be helpful. In order to have some air circulating had to open the windows, which meant it was extremely noisy, so much that it was not easy to have a normal volume conversation. The condo is very well appointed, and within walking distance of all we wanted. downtown. P.S. Nanaimo is spelled incorrectly below

Great Location. Great View.
A guest from Warwick, RI recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in July, 2009
We enjoyed our stay at Harbor Steps. We were 2 blocks from Pike Market, across the street from the Seattle Art Museum and 1 block from the Docks (great restaurants, some shops and harbor cruises). We parked our car on the premises--very convenient, in and out with a passcard. The only complaints were the noise (it overlooks Puget Sound by way of the highway) and the temperature (the retrofitted air conditioning unit was loud and not effective). Since we were out visiting most of the time, this did not bother us too much.I would definitely go back.

Immaculate condo, centrally located, great view!
A guest from Pueblo, CO recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2009
This condo was perfect for some first time visitors to Seattle. We were just steps from most places that we wanted to visit including Pioneer Square, the pier to catch the ferry to Bainbridge Island, and Pike Market. The views of the bay, the mountains, and the stadiums were great. We were in Seattle on three very hot days (high temps in the 90s and no rain) but the condo did cool down just enough to be comfortable in the evenings with the use of fans in the bedrooms -though it was warm. The traffic noise is quite loud so the fans were also good to help block out that noise at night. It would not be possible to sleep with the windows open for this reason. The condo was very, very clean and parking in the underground garage was convenient.

Harbor Steps 1620
A guest from Discovery Bay, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in June, 2009
Very central location. Some traffic noise due to location near freeway. Air conditioning inadequate for warm temperatures but if blinds were kept closed and air running all day it was bearable. It was very clean, no problems. Better lighting in living room to read by would be helpful and another comfortable chair.

Nice location
A guest from San Diego, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in May, 2009
The location is excellent. The furnishings are dark and look very used. The kitchen is not equipped very well as far as pots and pans go. We have stayed in another unit there that was much nicer with almost the same view.

Seattle Weekend
Maureen G. from Denver, CO recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in May, 2009
A perfect way to enjoy the best of Seattle as a tourist. We walked to the market daily to purchase fresh fish for dinner and ate, watching the sun set over the Olympics and the ferries on the sound. Great location.

Harbor Steps Review
A guest from Salt Lake City, UT recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in April, 2009
This was a great place and a nice location, close to Pike Place and within walking distance to the convention center. However, we had difficulty with getting an extra key for our group which made if difficult to come and go as we pleased. This place is not good for a group to stay because they only issue two keys. They had a third key, but they could not locate it. Although the location was beautiful with a great view of the Puget Sound, there were a lot of homeless people on the street below that were not afraid to get in your face and a few strip clubs within a block or so.

Great place to stay with friends
A guest from Portland, OR recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in April, 2009
The only reasons I didn't give all 5's were that 1) The upright blinds were in poor condition in the master bedroom, and 2) Check-in was a little confusing - I got sent from one desk to another and back again. Other than that, we loved the place! We could walk to everything, the view was fantastic, and for six of us the price was extremely reasonable. I've already recommended it to a friend.

We enjoyed the location in downtown Seattle. The freeway noise below was quite noticeable, but it did not keep me awake at night. I personally prefer a firmer bed...but that was my only "complaint." We loved the space, the view and the location.

Wonderful Setting!
Bob & Kathleen B. from Sonoma, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in January, 2009
The location, the condo, the decor, the assistance from staff were all superb!...but the view was ASTOUNDING! The negatives were and this was a pretty big one...most of the pots and pans were unusable because their bottoms were scorched/burned. Also, one of the lamps had a burned out bulb, and the front desk remedied that situation. The management compnay was great in that they delivered to us a new set of pots and pans the second day of our stay. help

Pleasant Stay
A guest from Louisville, Kentucky recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in November, 2008
The location was wonderful and the condo views of the sound were unobstructed. The only drawback was the constant sound of traffic from intrastate #99 that was approx. 8 stories below our condo. The sound was more like white noise than an annoyance. The condo was clean and well maintained and the staff were helpful. I thought the location and amount of space were a good value for the rent.

Perfect location, great view; but road noise at night.
A guest from Grant, MN recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2008
Our stay was wonderful, the location was very convenient, and the unit overlooks the water, which is really nice; but it also overlooks the freeway/viaduct -- which is very noisy, even on the 16th floor. It makes sleeping somewhat difficult for light sleepers (especially in the "main" bedroom).

The condo was great. However, there needs to be at least one more chair in the living room. Your literature says the condo will sleep 6, but it sure won't sit 6 comfortably. We made it okay with only one hair dryer, but there needs to be a hair dryer in each bath.

Unit has an awesome view. Close to everything. Even at 16 floors up you could hear some street noise, but no big deal. Only downside is air conditioner is not powerful enough and only in the dining/living room, none in the bedrooms. Harbor Steps concierge staff was extremely helpful and very nice. Sea to Sky Rentals were a pleasure to do business with. Would stay there again.

A Post Alaska Wind Down
Mary B. from Dauphin, PA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2008
We took a cruise in Alaska then took the train to Seattle from vancouver. It was a wonderful trip... and would recommend it. Harbor steps was a great place. Wonderful views. However, I was told we would be introduced to our room, but, we had to find our way. Also, when attempting to get a cab to the airport, was told, to use their own service. Saved us quite a few dollars to get a cab (van) on our own. there were 4 of us, with 8 pieces of luggage. we were there when it was hot, and the air conditioning was not the best.... The kitchen accommodations were good.... We purchased seafood at the market, and made it at the apartment. it was nice to just hang out.

Location and view can't be beat
Olaf N. from Brookfield, IL recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2008
The view from the 16th floor living room of Elliot Bay is enormous and beautiful. Watching the ships and boats can be almost hypnotic. And out the kitchen window, if the clouds cooperate, you get a clear shot at Mt. Rainier. It's an easy walk to the market, the aquarium, ferries, shopping, etc. Washer/dryer in unit means you don't have to bring as much with you--especially great if, like us, you're traveling with kids. Pay extra for parking--it will add years to your life. The only slight negative is that all the traffic below (on land and water) can get kind of noisy and the windows don't do much to block it out. A minor gripe.

A guest from Savannah, GA recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in September, 2007
We had a great time in Seattle and one reason was Harbor Steps. We walked out the front door to everything we wanted to see and do. The apartment had a fabulous view, tiny balcony for fresh sea air and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Confusing parking garage and noise from traffic on the street below were are only disappointments. I would stay there again when visiting Seattle.

Nice but noisy!
Robert M. from Wyncote, PA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 6 days in August, 2007
The facility was nice enough from a cleanliness perspective, although my wife and I had to do some cleaning of the actual apartment when we arrived. Nowhere in the Sea to Sky description of the property, however, was an indication that a major highway ran along the apartment. In that there was not an air conditioning system that was effective in the apartment, open windows were the only choice. As Seattle is a major city, the traffic never stopped, especially truck traffic. As a light sleeper, this was nightmare-ish at best. For this reason, I'm not sure I'd use Sea to Sky again.
