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.

First time to Seattle

We couldn't have asked for better accommodations for visiting Seattle for the first time. The views were outstanding and the place spotless. Easy to get anywhere with the blue line withing walking distance. We had a wonderful time.

Great location and views. Property was nice. However, I probably wouldn't stay there again with more than 2 or maybe 3 people. Even though it was a two bedroom apartment, it was very small for our family of 5. Plus, there was no air conditioning, which for a 20th floor west facing apartment made for a couple of sticky nights after sunny days.

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.

Our family of 3 enjoyed a 5 day stay between Christmas and New Years. We chose this property for the location, water views, and the comfortable looking accommodations and it met all of our criteria -- we were very happy. And Debra was super helpful and answered all our questions, even on New Years Day. I would definitely stay here again!

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.

Stunning View, Great Location

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.
