We were very happy with our stay. Everything was great! Never used the concierge, we wnet to 6th floor to rent movie, but the person didnt know how we do it. Other than that absolutely perfect!

Amazing Views of Downtown Seattle
Diane D. from Talahassee, FL recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in September, 2009
Wow. This apartment was comfortable and well located in downtown Seattle, but the highlight for us was the spectacular views. The location was quiet and clean, we all slept well and were comfortable in the living spaces. Everything was secure. This is a great apartment and one of the best vacation rental experiences I've had.

Great location and view, would stay there again.
John W. from ANCHORAGE, AK recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in June, 2009
It was a very hot week outside and the portable A/C unit couldn't keep up. The place could really use new window shades or blinds. Minor maintenance work is needed (e.g. counter edge molding in the bathroom coming up, stove drawer isn't on track, vacuum cleaner power cord has wires coming through the insulator, etc...). Over all it was a good place to rent and we would stay there again. Note: The $40.00 initial grocery stocking option is a good i dea. We spent over $80.00 on basic groceries from the small grocery store located outside on the harbor steps :-).

Great view, terrible freeway noise, no AC as promised so sweltering, poor repair
A guest from Coronado, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 6 days in June, 2009
That about sums it up. The manager was quick to repair the broken vertical blinds and window latch. I found it unbelieveable that Sea and Sky referred to the unit as an "upgrade" from the condo I had chosen.They told us that the seasonal AC window unit"was not to be installed until the following week despite that the contrractadvertized aan airconditioning unit. A great view does not compensate for a sleepless week due to noise and heat. Perhaps the unit would be tolerable and the view better appreciated in the winter.

Our stay was excellent and the view was terrific. My only suggestion is to get the window handles fixed so the window can close tight and properly. Cold air was coming in constantly which meant we had to increase the heat which is wasteful.

Romantic Weekend in Downtown Seattle a Success!
Pamela M. from Seattle, WA recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in December, 2008
The location of this Apartment was perfect. It had an amazing view of the sound and Ferries going in and out. It is walking distance from the Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, with a Tully's and a Market practically outside the door. The size was great and the flat screen makes watching movies wonderful. Minor maintenance issues include challenging blinds and difficulty shutting windows all the way (some of the latches were not working properly). All the main doors have double locks, so security was not an issue at all - especially on the 15th floor. The kitchen had everything we needed and even had quite a few extras - candles to add to the romance! We had a great weekend!

we had a great time at the apt, the view, the layout and the location was great. We had a great time and really appreciated the little things like popcorn which came with the DVDs the spices and basic cooking ingredients available in the kitchen etc. only one thing though, we found the place a little noisy... the windows should have been more sound proof since we were next to a highway. but havng said that my family relly enjoyed our stay there and would really love to come back again someday......

A guest from Hayward, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in October, 2008
Wonderful condo and the location couldn't have been better. Close to restaurants, shops, piers, Pike's Market. The only upgrade I'd suggest is with the concierge. While they were willing to help, they had virtually no information on how to book tours, the best way to get to Vancouver Island or different sites to see in the city. Will do more pre-planning before my next trip. Would definitely stay at Harbor Steps again.

Great Location
A guest from Leavenworth, KS recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in October, 2008
The location of our apartment was excellent. It was a block from Pikes Market and just a short walk to the Underground Tour. It was a block from the harbor, as well. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Our only issue was that it was not ready on our arrival, and the staff did not have any record of our reservation. Eventually, a cleaning crew member showed up with the key after the apartment had been cleaned, and we were able to check in.

Property Manager Response:
Our check-in time is 4 pm, which is clearly stated in all of our documents. The guest arrived before 3 pm, and had not arranged an early check-in. Our cleaning staff delivered the key packet to the waiting guest by 4 pm, after the unit was thoroughly cleaned.

Satisfied in Seattle
Brent F. from Sydney, New South Wales recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2008
Seattle was the midway point in our 4 week holiday of the USA and we were after somewhere that was relaxing with a chilled environment for the few days that we were there. The Harbour Steps apartment was great. Offering a great location, close to many facilities and a short stroll to the Downtown shopping area. Our self contained apartment had an excellent kitchen to cook our meals made from the freshest produce from the amazing Pike Place Markets. I found the perfect spot in the apartment. Sitting in the single arm chair by the window, gazing out over the Sound while the sun was setting. Truly peaceful.

Review of our 3-day stay at Harbour Steps
Janice & Graham C. from Frenchs Forest, Sydney, NSW recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2008
Initially we thought the traffic noise could be a problem but the fact that it was a general consistent and continual 'hum' didn't prevent adequate sleep. The air conditioner could prove slightly inadequate in the middle of summer. The small deli located near the apartment was very handy, with good quality food, albeit a little dearer than a larger food store, but for a short stay the convenience outwayed the small extra cost.

We were pleased the minute we set foot in the condo. The view of the Harbor was outstanding.The location was very central and we didnt even rent a car - walking or taking public transportation during our 6 day stay. The only drawback perhaps was the hum of cars going by each morning on the highway, but I got use to that and all the other amenities of the building, etc made up for it! Overall my family of 5 had an excellent time.

We really enjoyed the property and location. Two suggestions: replace the window blinds with better quality blinds. and find a better location for the check in and check out parking. There is onlt room for a couple of cars in the zone and with most people coming and going at similar times, you can be forced to circle the block for a while.

The Harbor Steps Apartment's central location is ideal. It is two blocks from Pike Place Market, across the street from the Seattle Art Museum, two blocks from a transit hub...Between walking and public transit, we did not need to use a car during our entire stay. The view of Mt. Rainier to the south and the Olympic National Park to the west, not to mention the beautiful Elliot Bay, was outstanding. Need I say more?

This was our first time in Seattle. Staying the the Harbor Steps definitely enhanced the experience. It was a great local with awesome views. The amenities, like the washer and dryer, were definitely useful, especially when vacationing with 3 kids (all under the age of 3, including twin infants). Everything was neat and clean, and the rooms were spacious. We lucked out with very good weather, our home away from home was extremely comfortable, and the people were very nice. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Thanks!

A guest from Port Matilda, PA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in March, 2008
Love our stay and plan to return. Only problem was finding the elevator in the parking garage. Read the instructions, couldn't find it. Went back to agent, asked her how to find the elevator, drove back into the garage, couldn't find it. Called the agent on cell phone for more instructions, couldn't find it. Finally parked on the street, used our key card to enter the building, then took the elevator down into the parking garage to see where the heck it was located. Was behind a door marked employees or custodial or something like that. Looked like the sign for the elevator described in the written instructions had been painted over. So our start was bad, but the rest of the stay was wonderful. We will return, and now we know where the @#%&#* elevator is located when we park our car.

Katie D. from New York, NY recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in November, 2007
Overall, the place and the staff was great. I would not hesitate to return or to recommend it to others. I just had one small observation. I thought whoever was in charge of cleaning/equipping the room could have had a better eye for detail. Lamps in the bedroom were missing lightbulbs and no replacements were there so I purchased some. Some of the cabinets in the kitchen had broken hinges & you had to be very careful lest the doors came off in your hand. The oven was filthy & when we turned it on to heat up some food, the apartment filled with smoke. Small problems that didn't really discourage us (except maybe in the moment). With a little eye to detail, these little things can easily be resolved. Again...a great stay!
