"We will stay here again. The location, comfort and responsive property manager made our stay perfect. When the tv wouldn’t work or the gfi circuit for the hairdryer was broke, Debra was right on it and got it fixed. The bed is super nice as are the views of the sound out the back window, and harbor steps is near everything" - Alice H., 01/20/2020 (inquire/book)

"Loved this condo, was perfect location for our short visit to Seattle. Not an issue but some of the check out instructions must be for a different property did not seem to line up with this property. Would definitely recommend this condo." - Capri L., 11/07/2019 (inquire/book)

"Walkable to all we wanted to see and do. Perk was how friendly everyone was." - denise s., Lake Charles, LA, 07/29/2019 (inquire/book)

"The location was great, the view was wonderful. The apartment was quiet, no neighbor sounds, the bed was comfortable. I would reconsider staying there if the weather was very warm. Not anyone's fault, Seattle never used to need air conditioning. I can tell it would really heat up if the weather was warmer." - Anonymous, 07/26/2019 (inquire/book)

"We loved the location of this property and the views from this apartment. Reception staff were always friendly, helpful and welcoming which was reinforced each time we returned from lengthy days out exploring Seattle. We found the rooms larger than the photos made it appear and we were very comfortable. The pool was great. We will recommend to friends and hope to stay again." - Susan C., London, England, 07/13/2019 (inquire/book)

"Apt is clean and in a perfect spot. It was hot so which there was AC but we knew there wasn’t. Fans helped. Would def stay again." - Robin Y., Brewerton, 07/08/2019 (inquire/book)

"Excellent location. Has all you need to cook a lovely meal with provisions from Pike Place Matket and enjoy the view.. Debra asked that we call immediately if an issues we had a tv problem it was resolved by a one call. Swimming pool not up to rest the building standard..so didn’t use .. suns closed .. but rest of building excellent" - Alane W., Cheyenne Wyoming, United States , 04/12/2019 (inquire/book)

"I will say, the First Lady ya the desk was rather, shall I say bitchy? But that’s not on you, that’s towere management. Your place was amazing and perfect for a few days with my cousin in the city. We’ll be back if you’ll have us." - Anonymous, 04/06/2019 (inquire/book)

"This apartment was perfectly located. Close to Pike Place, shopping and restaurants and across the street from the art museum. The view of the waterfront and the Ferris wheel was beautiful. We loved having our own space. The apartment was clean, the building extremely nice and well-maintained and the people friendly. Would absolutely stay here again." - Leigh S., Fort Myers, Florida, USA, 04/04/2019 (inquire/book)

"This place was exactly what we had hoped for. It is a short walk to Pikes, SAM, Ferries, Westlake Center. It is nicely furnished and was very quiet and comfortable." - Andrew S., 03/04/2019 (inquire/book)

"The view was fantastic, the amenities were great, but the décor could use a little freshening." - Ann S., 02/06/2019 (inquire/book)

"We rented this condo for a staycation. We had a wonderful weekend. Location was excellent, close to pike place and the shops, close to waterfront, couple of blocks to the bus stop to go anywhere around. Condo was clean and comfortable. We went with 2 kids, so had to use the air mattress and that lost some air pressure by the time kids were up, but they didn’t mind that . Pool in the complex was an added bonus ." - Sangeetha V., 01/21/2019 (inquire/book)

"Property was clean and comfortable and just as nice as the last time we booked it." - Carolyn C., 12/25/2018 (inquire/book)

"This is a lovely unit with a terrific waterfront view. It is clean and well equipped and the location can't be beat! Great to have access to a gym as well. The property management company was very accommodating and easy to work with. Check in and out was very convenient. We would love to stay here again." - Jennifer M., Las Vegas, NV, 12/10/2018 (inquire/book)

"The unit at Harbor Steps was adequately furnished and decorated, although nothing fancy. The real decoration was looking out the window at Elliot Bay and the constant boat traffic day and night. The supplies (shampoo, coffee filters, spices, etc.) were more than we expected. What really did shine, however, was the absolutely fantastic location! Just a short walk to the light rail from the airport, to Pike Place Market, to wonderful restaurants, corner groceries, harbor cruise, etc. We even took a delightful 25 minute walk to the Space Needle and Seattle Center. We were very pleased to discover that Seattle has a vibrant Happy Hour culture with very tasty small plates. We were glad we brought umbrellas for our October visit! Loved it." - Gary S., Crown Point, IN USA, 11/24/2018 (inquire/book)

"Absolutely a perfect location for walking anywhere in the city, dining at any spot or just staying in and taking a moment to BREATHE! The condo is clean, the bed is comfortable and the outdoor deck was well used. The kitchen has the basics except a martini shaker and martini glasses!! Somehow we made do. :) I highly recommend this condo and will definitely stay here again." - Alanna P., 11/06/2018 (inquire/book)

"Great location and views....it’s easy to checkin. The condo is well equipped in the kitchen. We fly in from Alaska use the light rail to get downtown. All very convenient." - Chuck H., 11/01/2018 (inquire/book)

"Great experience. Highly recommend." - Suzanne F., 08/28/2018 (inquire/book)

"We could not have found a better apartment for our trip to Seattle. The best part was enjoying the ferry boats come and go and watching the Ferris wheel at night from the balcony." - Melissa R., 07/16/2018 (inquire/book)

"My sincere apologies for this being so late in coming BUT being late on my end does not take away from just how fantastic our stay was. This was a birthday trip for my mom. Seattle and day trip to Victoria BC. We were within walking distance to EVERYTHING we wanted to do (we love to walk the city but the light rail and bus stops were right outside it seemed). The Ferris whee/Pike Place/Space Needle/Aquarium ( a must!)/Gardens/The ferry ride to BC/ Etc and restaurants oh man crazy delicious restaurants. The view was mesmerizing to say the least. The ferries coming in and out and the ferris wheel lighting up our evenings just spectacular. The appartment was spotless and so comfortable. Wonderfully quiet and cozy while being warm and comfortable. Like being home. Beza at the front desk helped us in every way imaginable between her and the appartment my expectations were blewn right out of the water. Beza even helped arrange a crazy early morning ride for us to the airport when we had to leave at 3:30 AM due to a funeral back home. Debra answered my text late Sat night regarding wifi (I should have checked my welcome docs and not bothered her my bad) without a pause. She was helpful and sweet when responding fast to any questions I had. We will definitely be coming back and staying again. Thank you for this lovely gem." - Kendra D., 07/13/2018 (inquire/book)

"This condo had everything we needed for our week long stay in Seattle. It was centrally located allowing us to walk most of the week to all the major attractions. Sitting on the balcony each morning for breakfast watching the boat traffic was a great way to start the day and returning to the balcony each night for the sunset was the perfect ending to each day. Unusually high temperatures for this time of year came rolling into the city, but Debra was on top of it making sure we had fans in the unit to keep things as cool as possible. If we find ourselves heading to Seattle again this will be our first choice for accommodations and we highly recommend anyone else considering a visit to Seattle to stay in this unit at Harbor Steps." - Michelle A., 07/12/2018 (inquire/book)

"Right in the heart of downtown Seattle! Steps away from the Crab Pot and a quick 2block walk to Pikes! Place was clean and update with a great view of the Ferris wheel from the balcony." - Diane S., 06/10/2018 (inquire/book)

"We really enjoyed our stay at Harbor Steps. Easy check-in as there's a 24-hour concierge. (The concierge also was very kind in printing our airline boarding passes- and offering to assist us with calling a cab, etc.) Very nice building, good amenities (gym etc.) and excellent downtown location - just a couple blocks from Pike's Place Market and other attractions. About 1 1/2 blocks to Light Link Rail station - which gives you quick (20 mins) and inexpensive ($3 for adult fare; $1 for senior) ride to Sea-Tac Airport. MUCH quicker and cheaper than cab or even Uber. Apartment is also close (1 - 1 1/2 mi) to pier where ferry to Victoria, BC arrives/departs. A Target and a Kress grocery within 2 - 3 blocks (Kress has better selection of food items). If you like to walk and the weather cooperates - it's only about 20 mins (1.4 miles) to the Chihuly Gardens and Space Needle. Had a very nice birthday lunch at nearby Palomino Restaurant - we recommend. Ask for waiter Paul - he could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The apartment was exactly as pictured - big, beautiful picture windows overlooking Elliott Bay....the King bed was comfortable, large dresser, and the bathroom and kitchen were clean and spacious, with granite countertops. We really appreciated how Debra was quick to reply to any emails/texts inquiries and very quick to replace a couple of items that weren't working properly (toaster and iron). We had replacements the very next day. Our only suggestion: in many vacation rentals, the owners provide a notebook \" - George & Terry M., 06/09/2018 (inquire/book)

"We were actually sad to leave this property, it was within walking distance to Pike Place and the Boardwalk. The unit was beautifully furnished and clean. We had been concerned due to the lack of air conditioning, but as stated in other reviews, there are very few residential buildings in Seattle that have air conditioning. The owner was kind enough to leave two large fans in the unit, but we only needed them once. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Seattle." - Christina S., San Antonio, Texas , 05/24/2018 (inquire/book)

"I would highly recommend this place if you're visiting Seattle! The location is ideal for walking everywhere--close to the tourist attractions as well as the train station. You cannot beat the views! We sat on the deck watching the boats as well as the sunsets! The condo has a stocked kitchen, the most comfortable bed, and is extremely clean. The building also has a pool, gym, etc. Thank you, we will be back!" - Lori H., 05/24/2018 (inquire/book)

"We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It is right in the heart of Pike Place Market and the views of the sound and the Ferris Wheel were really awesome. The condo was warm and comfortable and Debra was very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely stay again!" - Jessica M., 05/12/2018 (inquire/book)

"Great view of the Puget Sound and 1 block from Pike Place Market. 16 min walk to Convention Center. A nice walk, I felt safe as a woman walking alone to my conference. Pool was nice for our children. Sauna was enjoyed by my husband. Street noise was audible, but it got quieter at night. I never heard noise from people around us in the neighbor apartments. Felt safe in the apartment, beds were comfortable." - Daniela S., Grand Junction, 05/06/2018 (inquire/book)

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in this centrally-located apartment. Target was around the corner for groceries. Beautiful view of the wheel and just a few steps from pike place market. We were in the heart of everything we wanted to experience, all within walking distance." - Danielle S., 05/04/2018 (inquire/book)

"Great apartment to stay for convenient and easy access to downtown Seattle. Amazing views from all rooms and balcony. Well equipped. Building staff were kind and very helpful." - Christopher I., 04/09/2018 (inquire/book)

"The apartment is comfortable and very well supplied with everything you need. The view is fantastic and Debra was a delight to work with! I would stay here again!" - Jordan D., 03/09/2018 (inquire/book)

"We had a perfect time staying here. The unit was exceptional and we could not have asked for more. After exploring the city it was so nice to come back to the room and relax. Everything was so comfortable!!! We didn't want to leave. We can't wait to stay here again. Thank you!!!!!" - Andrea W., 02/04/2018 (inquire/book)

"This apartment was in the heart of it all...the perfect location with wonderful shops and restaurants around. I took the Link light rail train from the airport, and got off at the University Street Station...and walked downhill two blocks to Harbor Steps. I arrived early, and was able to check my luggage at the front desk while I explored. Target (with groceries) wes two blocks away, so I went and stocked up on wine and cheese and other staples for the long weekend. The apartment was clean, comfortable, quiet (for the citty) and the sunset views were phenominal! We lucked out and hit great weather mid January, and were able to spend time enjoying wine and snacks on the balcony. We had no issues, so didn't have any contact with the manager. All in all, I would stay here again in a heartbeat." - Ashley M., 01/31/2018 (inquire/book)

"Easy access to everything" - RoseMarie L., 01/27/2018 (inquire/book)

"Thank you Picture Properties for an amazing home. Located next to everything you would ever want to do. Flawless check in and check out process. We would recommend them to anyone! The views from NE 2005 were breathe taking. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality!" - Brandie G., 01/05/2018 (inquire/book)

"We have stayed in condo before and were very impressed. It's a great condo in a great location and is very well equipped. The Harbor Steps location could not be better for a downtown location. The parking fee was the least expensive in downtown Seattle. I can't think of anything bad to say. We really enjoyed it!" - Anonymous, Anchorage AK, 01/03/2018 (inquire/book)

"Love the room and location is perfect!" - Carolyn C., 12/25/2017 (inquire/book)

"This is a great apartment. Perfect location only steps away (literally) from the waterfront. Easy to get to from SeaTac using light rail (stops a block away) and super convenient for downtown/PikePlace/etc. Kids loved the splash pool when I was in the hot tub." - Carl K., 12/13/2017 (inquire/book)

"Across the street from the Seattle Art Museum which was perfect since we wanted to see the Wyeth exhibit. Only two blocks from Pike Place Market. All in all a nice location but I prefer not having to do the laundry when I pay for a Cleaning service as part of the rental agreement." - Joanne F., Santa Fe, NM, 11/28/2017 (inquire/book)

"We stayed in this unit for a short trip to Seattle in October. The apartment was in close proximity to the market, the aquarium, and more. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed including basic toiletries, laundry supplies, and kitchen equipment. Checking in was also efficient as this complex has a 24hr concierge desk. I would highly recommend this unit!" - Wendy C., 11/08/2017 (inquire/book)

"Loved it." - Paul S., 10/31/2017 (inquire/book)

"We picked this location from the map, and couldn't have found a more convenient place to be to visit Seattle. Just a few blocks in one direction was the Pike Place Market, and a few blocks in the other direction was the dock for ferries and water taxis. A train from the airport left us just 2 blocks away from the rental, in the transit tunnel that runs through downtown. There is no air conditioning, and we didn't need it in late September, but the location is quite noisy with the windows open. This could be a problem in warmer months. There is no television in the bedroom, but this only affects TV addicts (like my wife). Nice views from the balcony, and many amenities we didn't have the opportunity to use." - Mark B., 10/29/2017 (inquire/book)

"The location of this apartment at Harbor Steps was perfect for seeing the sights of Seattle! Close to Pike Place Market as well as just a few blocks from the light rail station. Also walking distance to historic Pioneer Square. Apartment was immaculate; comfy bed with a partial view of the waterfront. One minor drawback (for light sleepers from a small town) is the freeway noise during morning rush hour, but that’s city living! Concierges were very helpful. I highly recommend this apartment!" - Beth F., 10/24/2017 (inquire/book)

"Great lo location great staff cobdo was fabulous would recommend this place to everyone" - Sarah K., 10/20/2017 (inquire/book)

"We had a great time! Debra was awesome to deal with. Amenities are great. Even was able to make seafood pasta from great ingredients from the Italian and seafood vendors at the amazing Pike Place Market. Thank you !!" - Anonymous, Hudson, WI, 10/16/2017 (inquire/book)

"We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and comfortable and we loved the view and the location. In terms of constructive criticism we would have appreciated more towels There were only two bath towels and factoring in trips to the pool and daily showers this seemed less than adequate." - Sheila L., 10/07/2017 (inquire/book)

"My husband and I spent 4 nights here and could not have been more pleased with the accommodations! The apartment was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed! We walked everywhere, but if you want to explore parts of the city that are further away, transportation is close by. If you're going to a football game, pleasant walk to Century Link stadium through Pioneer Square. If you're tired after a game, pedi cabs are plentiful and are a fun ride back to the apartment. Pike Place Market is a block up the street, 2 block walk to the waterfront and ferry excursions including the King County Water taxi that takes you to West Seattle ( 15 min ride) where the view of the Seattle skyline is breathtaking. There is a wonderful little neighborhood grocery store in the complex that has anything you will need, including a good selection of wines and fresh salads,fresh fruit etc..to have in the apartment. Vonn's restaurant next door has the best burgers & other restaurants are close by that are also great.Great view of ferrys coming in and out from the small but comfortable balcony. We would highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again when in Seattle. Oh, and the Seattle Art Museum is across the street! Thanks, Harbor Steps and Debra for a wonderful place to call home for a few days." - Jennie T., 09/23/2017 (inquire/book)

"We enjoyed our stay and like hanging out in downtown Seattle. Had a late checkin and had no problems getting checked in, front door staff very friendly and helpful." - Chuck H., 09/21/2017 (inquire/book)

"The only reason I would say anything bad about this place is so people don't book it, which would enable me to book it again ;) Great property, would hate to have to book somewhere else" - SecretFan87 , Surrey, BC, 08/29/2017 (inquire/book)

"My husband and I stayed here with our young child. The place was at a perfect location for us to walk to everything that we wanted to see. My son also loved the pool on the property." - Callie P., 08/26/2017 (inquire/book)

"The property was quite nice, clean and comfortable. Went for a weekend getaway to enjoy a cooler summer experience from the SW desert. Don't go during a heatwave!! They had 2 portable fans we used in the bedroom & living area but it was so unusually hot we weren't able to sleep even with the door & windows open all night as the bldg has no a/c. The front receptionist was quite helpful as to where to find what we were looking for. The location was fabulous. The swimming pool was advertised as heated - the room may be, but the pool is not and was a big disappointment as I workout in water daily and was too cold to enjoy. Overall we totally enjoyed our stay although the price was a bit high for our budget." - Sharman S., 08/25/2017 (inquire/book)

"Basic apartment with everything you need from location to views. This place has it all. Debra, the host, is just a phone call away and ready to help if you have questions or need anything. Better than any hotel room. If you looking for the sweet spot. This is it." - zen traveler, sonoma county, calif, 08/18/2017 (inquire/book)

"We've stayed with Picture Properties several times and we'll keep coming back!" - Janie M., Tiburon, CA, 08/13/2017 (inquire/book)

"Wonderful location next to attractions, cafes etc. Clean, small balcony. BUT no air conditioning. This is probably not needed 90 percent of the time - but it was hot with no air circulation. If we opened the windows as instructed to cool the unit - then we had bugs fly in. So we had to choose between bugs or reasonable temperature." - Karen R., 08/12/2017 (inquire/book)

"Great location one block from Pike's Place. Great restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Very convenient parking and elevator directly from garage to room floor." - John H., 08/05/2017 (inquire/book)

"Location, cleanliness, well appointed and well furnished! All in all: very satisfied with the unit." - Richard & Susan A., 07/11/2017 (inquire/book)

"We spent a week here, it was a perfect stay in a great location. Everything about it was awesome. Walk to Pike's market, restaurants, monorail, light rail stop. We had a fantastic time" - Jody S., 07/10/2017 (inquire/book)

"Stayed in SE tower, excellent location, close to many good restaurants and the waterfront. Would stay here again" - Jeffrey L., 07/03/2017 (inquire/book)

"We stayed at this property for a week and did not want to leave! It is in the best location with easy access to everything you could want in Seattle! The apartment is beautifully appointed and we only had one teeny tiny problem with the hair dryer, which I mentioned off-hand to the owner in an email and BOOM...the next thing we knew, a brand new hair dryer showed up. We never had to worry about anything and always got a quick response to all of our questions. Absolutely loved our stay here!" - Korey W., 06/16/2017 (inquire/book)

"What a great location this property is, spent a long girls weekend here and truly thought this was a perfect spot, close to all touristy places and renting a car for a day was easy too as the downtown car rental office was about a four block walk. Was able to cook food from the market, and yet close to so many restaurants. One block from the light rail as well, so convenient. I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommended!" - Katie B., 06/16/2017 (inquire/book)

"This spot was perfect. Right in walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do! All the conveniences of your own apartment with all the luxuries of a hotel!! A must stay. We will be back for sure!" - Jeff M., 06/10/2017 (inquire/book)

"We really enjoyed our stay. We loved the location, it was great for getting around the city. Nice view." - Ben S., 05/20/2017 (inquire/book)

"Enjoyed the stay very much!!!" - Greg G., 05/13/2017 (inquire/book)

"Perfect location Easy access from Train & buses. The condo was clean and furnished well. Easy checkin and helpful staff at front desk. Would highly recommend." - Brenda I., 05/02/2017 (inquire/book)

"I want to extend our appreciation and thanks to Debra (Property Manager). When we arrived the prior guests must've fried fish and the unit had a very strong smell. We tried airing it out, but it didn't seem to help. The unit was VERY CLEAN and not the fault of the Owner!! Debra went out of her way to help us to relocate to another unit. Although it was an inconvenience, we understood that it was NOT the fault of the Owner. We were pleasantly surprised that the other unit was just as nice, in a great location, beautiful views, beyond clean and felt like home. I would highly recommend any of the Picture Properties! When all is well you don't realize or appreciate all the hard work that goes in on the property management side of things. But, when there is a snafu - that is when you truly can judge the overall customer satisfaction level. Again, Debra went above and beyond for us!! We can't wait to come back to Seattle and will specifically look for a Picture Properties unit!" - Kari S., 04/27/2017 (inquire/book)

"Clean and easy to get around town. Close to the waterfront, Post Alley, a block from Pikes market, and across the street from the Seattle Museum. Really enjoyed our stay with the amenities of home!" - Timothy Y., 04/23/2017 (inquire/book)

"The location was outstanding for all we wanted to do. We were busy everyday with one day sleeping in and hanging out swimming. It didn't matter if it was windy or raining as there was something to do no matter the weather. The staff were friendly and helpful. We loved Noi restaurant and the server was a kick. We wished we had more time at Museum of Pop Culture and the Seattle Art Museum. The Gum wall is a unique experience and there is a soup salad place hidden in Pike Market deep that has the best burgers and fries." - Kristy B., 04/15/2017 (inquire/book)

"Such a great place!! So close to everything downtown. Will definitely be booking this again in the future!" - Keri F., 04/10/2017 (inquire/book)

"My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 nights in downtown Seattle. The condo was clean and well equipped. Location was excellent and Debra was more than helpful during our stay. We will definitely be staying here again! We had a wonderful trip!" - Jaime B., 04/07/2017 (inquire/book)

"Couldn't ask for more - well appointed, comfy bed and sofa, large bathroom, all in a great downtown location. Debra was easy to work with and provided us with all the information we needed for our visit. Would definitely stay here again in the future." - Peggy D., 03/23/2017 (inquire/book)

"Harbor Steps is conviently located for pike place market and downtown Seattle activities. Easy check in/out. The apartment had everything we needed. Thx." - Jonna A., 03/06/2017 (inquire/book)

"We really enjoyed our stay. He was convenient to shopping, restaurants and sights. The apartment was well equipped for cooking with full kitchen. Only negative was we were only able to receive one channel on the TV and the Aero Bed would deflate over night requiring attention." - Betty L., 02/14/2017 (inquire/book)

"Great location in the heart of downtown Seattle" - Joe V., Racine, WI, 02/13/2017 (inquire/book)

"Very comfortable and convenient to shops, restaurants and the arts." - Eva V., 01/31/2017 (inquire/book)

"We LOVED our stay here over the Christmas holiday! Check-in was a breeze and we were delighted at how helpful the staff at the front desk were with making restaurant recommendations and giving directions. The unit was comfortable, spacious, well-stocked, and the large windows had an amazing view of the water and ferries coming to and fro! The building was 2 blocks from Pike Place Market and there were SO many restaurants and shops just out the front door! You can take the Harbor Steps (or the handy elevator!) down to easily access the ferry terminal/acquarium/water front dining. Also, there is a little market located 1/2 way down the Harbor Steps that has almost everything (deli, groceries, toiletries, wine, etc). The unit is 1 block from the Four Seasons hotel which we used to book tours (e.g.-Boeing Tour), and they could have been more helpful. We will be back and we will certainly be booking this unit again!!" - ann marie e., 01/19/2017 (inquire/book)

"We had multiple business and personal agendas requiring two stays in Seattle during the month of November. Both apartments were above our expectations in spaciousness, comfort (great beds) and high quality of furnishings. We cooked in the well appointed kitchens, we entertained, we enjoyed the privacy as a beautiful refuge. Because of its central location, Harbor Steps gave us easy access to buses and trains; we never took our car out of the garage until final departures. The apartments were both amazingly quiet. We enjoyed the outside porches in both apartments, and especially from the 16th floor watching the ferries glide past. Kudos to the owner for being so very responsive to our questions and adjustments during the months previous to our arrival. Highly recommend these apartments to anyone, adults with and without children. There were many good restaurants nearby, especially right within the block of Harbor View and we often took advantage of generous Happy Hour offerings. Parking was easy, concierge always helpful. We will definitely come back!" - Marguerite F., 12/21/2016 (inquire/book)

"The best thing about this rental was the......location. We flew in from L.A. and didn't rent a car. We took the Link train from the airport to University Station, about 2 blocks from the apartment. Easy, peasy. Across the street is the Seattle Art Museum, which was really nice. 2 blocks to Pike Place Market. A few hundred yards (seriously downhill) to the waterfront where there is the Great Wheel, Aquarium and ferry & harbor cruise terminals. Many restaurants in easy walking distance. I really recomment the Noi Thai restaurant just outside the apartment building. As far as the unit itself, it was OK. Pretty small with a decent view, mostly the industrial end of the harbor. Everything was provided as promised. There were a few technical problems which could have been fixed right away but I told Debra to hold off until we checked out, so we wouldn't have to deal with repair people. All in all, no complaints--the location more than made up for any deficiences in the unit." - Jim B., Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 12/08/2016 (inquire/book)

"Loved this property. The location was great, view was great and the property was very clean and nice. My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and absolutely loved it. We were only a few minutes walking distance from Pike Place Market and the water front. We would def. come back and stay here again. Easy to check in & check out and the apartment was very clean and the property was well kept. Highly recommend. :)" - C F., 11/16/2016 (inquire/book)

"The property is located in a great location if you like the market area. We were able to walk everywhere downtown and the market. The unit was clean and comfortable. The television remote does not work well." - Lisa G., 10/28/2016 (inquire/book)

"The property was clean, well stocked, and exactly as described. Living room furniture was comfortable, the mattress could use a flip or replacement. The roof deck on the 5th floor was very nice for relaxing with a glass of wine before dinner and watching the sun go down. Didn't use the gym or pool. Picture Properties was easy to deal with, check in and check out were easy, and it was nice to have 24 hour front desk support. Location is great (try Locesho for dinner, the Bolognese was so good!, and Vons for lunch, the pesto goat cheese flatbread was AMAZING)). It is important to understand how weirdly warm this unit is. With the heat off and windows left open all day (outside temp about 60 degrees) when we returned to the condo in the late afternoon it was in the mid to upper 70s in the condo, and noticeably warmer than the hallway. Had to leave the patio door open when we went to dinner to cool the place off. The light rail was conveniently located and we took it to the airport." - Patty E., Where do you live?, 10/17/2016 (inquire/book)

"Excellent location with a lovely view of the ferry dock. Easy, one block walk from the light rail station. Very clean. Nicely supplied with tea kettle, detergent, paper towels, kleenex, etc. However, the heat from the afternoon sun (even with the blinds closed and fans) was uncomfortable." - Mark S., Cupertino, CA, 10/10/2016 (inquire/book)

"Nice, clean, comfortable 1bedroom place. In a great location close to bars and restaurants. Just a few blocks to Pike Place Market. If it's available, you can use the Towne car and Driver for a price of course instead of a taxi. We would definitely stay there again." - Lori N., Michigan, 10/01/2016 (inquire/book)

"We had a wonderful experience at this condo- the unit was spotless and beautiful, check in/ out was easy based on the pre-visit email & instructions, and we were close to everything. There is even a view of the ferry and water. There's a small market right down the steps and easy access to grab some milk or snacks if needed. Pike Street Market is around the corner, SAM is across the street, the aquarium & pier are a quick walk with some flat running paths along the water past Olympic Sculpture Park & beyond. Downtown and Pioneer Square are each a few blocks away and an easy walk; you can catch a quick monorail trip to the Space Needle & Glass Museum from Westlake Center in the downtown area, or walk the 2 miles of the weather is nice. Walking to see the Mariners or Seahawks is also doable from this location. Getting in and out of the garage and onto I-5 was easy when we needed to travel out of the city for a few day trips. Lastly, the food was excellent. We were able to make dinner from our market finds as well as experience all of the local fare. Well worth the cost of staying here to have access to so much of the city! Highly recommend!" - Sarah T., 09/07/2016 (inquire/book)

"Book last-minute for a two-day stay. Location was excellent, unit was Immaculate. However we were uncomfortable to the lack of air conditioning in August. A portable air conditioning system would be an excellent choice to make this the ultimates stay!" - asedf d., 08/31/2016 (inquire/book)

"This was our second stay in this suite. And we loved it as much as the first time! Just blocks to whatever we needed or wanted and easy transportation everywhere else. For the second time we hit a bit of a heat wave and although there is no air conditioning there are two stand up fans and the windows open, so we were able to cool the apartment. Having the great weather to sit on our little balcony and have a glass of wine while looking out on the harbor was worth the trade! Love this apartment and Debra is great to work with. We will be back for a third time." - Brenda B., 08/04/2016 (inquire/book)

"This one-bedroom apartment rental was very clean and comfortable, that included a full kitchen, bathroom, washer and dryer; and just like the description, this place is located a block away from Pike Place Market, with a beautiful view of the harbor. We used the Light Rail from the SeaTac Airport and got off University. The Harbor Steps apartment complex is located just a couple of blocks away. The place is centrally located with many restaurants, shops, and transportation systems nearby. There's also a Target up the street. The Emerald Trolley stop is across the street, at the corner in front of the Seattle Art Museum. We did not need a car. The contract and confirmation we received included very clear instructions. Since there were 4 of us (my husband and I, and our 2 college kids), we did utilize the aerobed that was provided. I contacted the property manager, Debra, to see if the front desk can hold our bags since our plane was arriving early in the morning, and she did quickly respond saying that the front desk can hold our luggage, and that we may be able to check-in earlier as well. When we checked out, the front desk was able to hold our luggage at that time as well. We really enjoyed our visit to Seattle and our stay at this rental. I would highly recommend staying at the Harbor Steps to anyone visiting Seattle. This place is so much better than staying at a hotel, definitely!" - Stacy F., La Palma, 08/02/2016 (inquire/book)

"Clean, everything we needed, nice work out facility, all for a reasonable price!" - Maria S., 07/20/2016 (inquire/book)

"This apartment was a great location for our fist visit to Seattle. It is so close to all of the top tourist attractions. The apartment was roomy and very clean. I would definitely stay here again." - Anonymous, Medfield, MA, 06/30/2016 (inquire/book)

"Everything in this unit was as advertised. It was very clean and quiet. There was a dog down the hall that you could hear when you went to the elevator, but we could never hear it in the unit itself. We didn't cook anything other than oatmeal and coffee, but everything was there if you wanted to. It was great having the washer and dryer. As stated in the description there is no AC in the unit, we figured we'd be fine in early May, but we had a couple of 80+ degree days and came back to a warm apartment. Even with keeping windows and fans open and running all night so it was comfortable and even cool in the morning, when we came back from our adventures in the evening it got quite warm. But we knew this could be the case. Under normal Seattle temps this would not have been an issue. Liked watching the ferries load and unload while having breakfast and checking my email. The internet speeds are very quick, I was impressed. We would stay here again. We arrived sooner than check in and dropped our bags and went about town, Debra called us when the unit was ready ahead of check in to let us know, which was awesome! Our deposit was refunded promptly and Debra was also quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our rental. To be honest, if there had been normal Seattle temperatures we would have given this 5 stars, but as I said we knew going in there was no AC. We rode the train in from airport, station only a block away. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Vons downstairs was also great, and Target was only two blocks away." - Robert S., 06/02/2016 (inquire/book)

"Great location and ameneties! Close to market and restaurants for family while I was at a meeting at Convention Center, which was close by (bout 10 min walk). Had extra stroller we weren't expecting (thanks) and great views fro room and patio. Very helpful and prompt with parking help. Much better than hotel with in room laundry and kitchen with all basic neccessities! Will definitely recommend!" - Crystal L., 05/29/2016 (inquire/book)

"Fully stocked kitchen and nicely finished out unit. We were able to easily walk to the water front, pike place, space needle, and to the Underground. Great base of operations. Worthy home away from home. $14 uber to Ballard and $6 to Capitol Hill. We took advantage of the gym, but not the hot tub and pool." - Rob K., 05/21/2016 (inquire/book)

"We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in your apartment... it was a perfect staycation. You should know that your house cleaners left a load of laundry in the dryer and in the washer... we dried the one load and folded both loads." - Anonymous, Port Townsend,WA US, 05/18/2016 (inquire/book)

"Very comfortable, well located 9th floor apt with balcony, partial view. Comfortable, clean and centrally located just a few blocks from Pike Mkt and across the street from the Seattle Art Museum. Owner/agent was helpful and quickly responsive to questions. There is no a/c; this is stated clearly in the information provided- not a problem. It's a good idea to close the living room blinds during the day time though, especially if you are going to be away at that time. Would return; would recommend to friends and family." - david f., 05/11/2016 (inquire/book)

"This is by far the best location in downtown Seattle. Close to Pike place market, the waterfront piers, shopping, and restaurants. The unit is very well kept and clean and the owner is super responsive. We will certainly be staying here again!" - Jeni K., 04/06/2016 (inquire/book)

"This is the third Picture Properties apartment we've rented at Harbor Steps so we knew it would be nicely furnished, fully equipped and very clean and comfortable. The view of the Sound was a bonus-- just spectacular, especially at night. We look forward to our next stay." - Nancy M., 01/21/2016 (inquire/book)

"Accurate listing. Kitchen has only the bare essentials. No one ever actually lives in this place, so it feels more like a resort condo unit that's always in the rental pool. However, we were able to cook a few meals here (saving a ton of money.) Balcony is very tiny, but yes, technically two can sit. Bedroom is very comfortable. Laundry in unit is great. Living room ottoman hides some some extra blankets. There is a yippy dog in 907 but you can't hear it from the unit, only in the hallway. The pool is in the NW tower, a short walk from the lobby. It's only 3' deep but was good for a basic swim. Sauna's took a long time to warm up but eventually worked. We used the community BBQ area one night - but it appears you have to sign up in advance. Luckily for us, there was an opening the evening we wanted to use it. And you're a couple of blocks from Pike Place Market. We liked the Crumpet Shop, Left Bank Books, and Los Agaves (Mexican Street Food). The Homeaway App was useful a couple of times. Overall, a good value for the location." - Anonymous, Maine, 10/13/2015 (inquire/book)

"First of all, the reservation process was very easy and the property manager Debra was extremely responsive and helpful in answering my questions. We are a family of 4 with 2 small children (ages 3 & 5). The apartment was just perfect. It felt like home the first day. Very clean and well maintained, and stocked with everything you need. We did not use, but were pleasantly surprised to find an umbrella stroller, baby chair, and pak-n-play ind the closet! Having the washer/dryer available in the unit was also very convenient. As far as the location, it could not have been more ideal. We were a little anxious at first about not having a car, but everything is within walking distance (including drug store, Target). There were plenty of linens, queen size airbed was very comfortable, and the kids loved sleeping on it. Most evenings we cooked food that we picked up from Pike Place, and being only 1 block away was great!! Both apartment windows face the buildings next door (although you can get a view of the water if you look from one edge), but it was of no consequence given everything else about the apartment, location, and price. We HIGHLY recommend it!" - Erina, Marina Del Rey, ca, 07/23/13 (inquire/book)

"This is a wonderful condo with everything a person(s) requires. It is perfectly furnished, extremely clean and ideally located near the Seattle waterfront, Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square and the entire downtown area. It is also within a two block walk to the light-rail system, which is outstanding, as well as within two blocks to the metro buses. Plus, there is underground secure parking available. The check-in and check-out were simple and efficient. We found the building tenants friendly and helpful too. We've rented other condos and would rate this one A+. The other thing that makes this condo special is the professionalism and attentiveness of Debra who makes your stay perfect. She is amazing to work with. We highly recommend Debra and the condos at Harbor Steps. You will not be disappointed." - Anonymous, 04/08/13 (inquire/book)

"I was so disappointed!!! To have to come home!!! I absolutely loved my stay at Harbor Steps. The weather was wonderful during my stay and this residence is so close to EVERYTHING FUN that there was pretty much NO WAY I could have had a bad experience. The things I enjoyed while there that I would recommend doing are the Argosy Harbor Cruise, the Seattle Aquarium, of course Pike's Market Place. I did the Seattle Spooked Tour and the guy kind of walks you around and shows you stuff and uses his iPad to show you reference materials on the things you are seeing, so I don't know...plus I had already had a few drinks with friends at Ivars...I didn't consider it creepy enough! The check in staff was wonderful - Ian. He was super nice to hold my bags until check in time and when I left, the gentleman at the counter was equally kind in doing so for me, as I had a flight later in the day. The residence is clean, decorated nicely and very well equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. My only recommendation would be to have a guide for the channels on TV, but once I figured out to just go to Channel 9, there is your guide! :) I am a TV addict!! Would have loved to have one in the bedroom as well, but that is because I usually wake up during the middle of the night and need that to lull me back to sleep. Not the case on that bed though - the bed and linens were so nice, once my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light!! I met some nice people in the Cantina downstairs and found it a convenient place to go if I wanted a drink, because you only have to walk steps to get into your building and safely back "home". All in all, I had a wonderful stay and Debra was super attentive to any messages I sent to her. One last thing...catching the link to get to and from the airport could not have been easier...just walk one block up University Street and it is on the left, only costs $2.75 to get to and from the airport. Much cheaper than a $40-$45 cab or hired car ride and they have places on the train for you to put your bags if you are traveling with luggage. Felt safe the entire time! I can't wait to return, I only hope it isn't booked when I want to go back!! I live in Alaska and it was miserable to come back to 14" of new snow and -15 degree temps. :(" - Eileen Markiel, Wasilla, Alaska, 03/27/13 (inquire/book)

"We enjoyed this much better than a hotel. After schlepping around Seattle all day, it was wonderful to come back to our little home away from home, nibble on goodies from Pike's Market, get warm and dry, then plan on whether to cook dinner at the condo or go to one of many wonderful restaurants that are an easy walk from the condo. It is well appointed and comfortable. The furnishings are not posh, but attractive and functional. There was plenty of storage areas to put clothes, suitcases, etc. away. Loved that they supplied cleaning products and the laundry facilities were very handy." - Anonymous, Ventura, 10/30/12 (inquire/book)

"We really enjoyed our stay at the condo! It had everything we needed, and was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The location is fabulous - right by Pike Place Market, walking distance to the Space Needle, and just down the street from Pioneer Square. We have a one year old so it was very nice that the condo came with a Pack N' Play and a high chair. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Seattle. Thanks so much!" - Charlotte, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, 09/05/12 (inquire/book)

"Location, location, location!!! This condo has it all. Convenient to everything. We did not have a car and were able to walk to almost every place we wanted to see, including the Seattle Center and the baseball stadium. Loved being only 2 blocks from Pike Place Market and a block from the waterfront. We visited the market every morning and loved having a place to bring fresh flowers home to. Yes, we also looked forward to cooking in the well appointed kitchen, but there were way too many wonderful restaurants within walking distance! Ivars, The Crab Pot, Etta's, Lola's, Kells Irish Pub. And you must get Mac and Cheese from Beechers! The condo was clean, comfortable and plenty big. We visited Seattle during an unusual hot week so would have loved some AC, but keeping the curtains closed during the day when we were gone helped a lot by keeping out the hot sun. The fan that was provided took care of keeping us cool and the evenings and mornings were perfect with the open windows. We plan on returning to Seattle some time for Emerald City Comic Con and hopefully we can stay here again." - Cindy Joyal, Tucson, AZ, 08/25/12 (inquire/book)

"Awesome property! This was our 1st experience with Picture Properties and it couldn't have been any better! My husband and I stayed for 5 days/nights while attending our daughter's graduation from Seattle University. We were even able to have a celebration get-together in one of the available rooms within the Harbor Steps complex. The location is perfect, the property is beautifully decorated, in wonderful condition, clean and well maintained. The pictures online and the amenities listed were totally accurate - we had more than enough room. Debra was so helpful, kind and considerate - we couldn't have asked for anything more! I would DEFINITELY recommend this property to friends and relatives. We did not drive and had absolutely no problem getting around. The University Street Station is one block away for either the Light Rail or buses. Kress IGA is within a few walking blocks for groceries. Pike Market is within 1-2 blocks, you're 1 block away from the water, you're very close to shopping, dining, music - it's all there! Hopefully our family will be able to join us next time and we can rent the 2-bedroom!!" - Peggy, Butte Montana, 06/11/12 (inquire/book)

"Fantastic apartment & can't get a better location! I've already started recommending this place to friends! The apartment is clean, comfortable, quiet and so convenient to everything in downtown Seattle. The complex's facilities are a bonus. I took advantage of the rooftop patio (terrific view of Elliot Bay!) and the workout room - didn't get around to going for a swim. It was wonderful to walk the 2 minutes to Pike Place Market and actually be able to shop for fresh groceries & have a kitchen to cook in. Everything else - downtown shopping, Pioneer Square, Belltown, waterfront, Capitol Hill - is an easy walk from here (I walk a lot, don't have a vehicle). My sister & her husband joined me for a weekend, and there was plenty of room for the 3 of us in the apartment. They are even considering buying an Aerobed for home for guests as they found the one here so comfy. The photos of the apartment are completely accurate and Picture Properties were easy to work with - friendly and attentive to requests. Can't wait to return, and maybe try the 2 bedroom unit!" - Susan, Victoria, BC, 06/10/12 (inquire/book)

"Perfect location! We arrived by car, parked, and never took the car out again until it was time to leave. The condo is beautiful and well set up. We loved being able to get fresh food from the Pike Street Market and then preparing it at the condo. We also, enjoyed some the extra condo amenities (sauna and gym)." - Vida Tavera, Portland, OR, 04/15/12 (inquire/book)

"We found this property last-minute and couldn't pass up such a great deal for spring break. Debra was able to work with our schedule and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. I can't say enough about this location. My husband, myself and our two children were able to walk to everything Seattle has to offer! Pike Place Market, the aquarium, monorail, Seattle Center......the Seattle Art Museum is right across the street. One morning we walked to the ferry terminal (2 blocks) and took the ferry to Bainbridge Island where there is a great children's museum and cute downtown....all a short walk from the ferry! The condo itself is beautifully decorated and came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There were plenty of extra linens and pillows and the furniture was clean and comfortable. We were able to buy local foods at the market and then cook our meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Debra has added many special touches including a large variety of spices for cooking. We had such a great time on this trip and can't wait to do it again! I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for the "real" Seattle experience!" - Christy, Wenatchee, WA, 04/11/12 (inquire/book)

"We(myself, my husband, and two daughters, 6 and 3) had such a wonderful time. It was really the best location for us! We walked everywhere and felt like we were returning home each night. It had everything we needed. This was our first VRBO experience and we are converted. We loved having a kitchen so the girls could grab breakfast allowing us to sleep in. :) We brought home fresh fruits and veggies from Pike's Market and that allowed for easy snacking. The central location made it easy to come and go when naps were needed. We even walked to the Space Needle which was only a mile away. We really loved it! The market that is right in the building was so convenient for ibuprofen and allergy med runs. Debra was so easy to work with. I would highly recommend it! We also left a phone charger behind and they are kindly mailing it back to us!" - Angee, 03/29/12 (inquire/book)
