This is a great apartment perfectly sized for a couple. It is a few blocks from the Market, Harbor Steps itself is lively on the weekends, and it is easy to get down to the waterfront if you are wanting to enjoy those restaurants or the Great Wheel. A few notes:
Good: Communication with the property manager was excellent and thoughtful. The apartment is appointed with everything you could possibly want - for example, we had packed some laundry pods as we were were concluding a longer trip and planning to do laundry, but there was detergent available. We inquired about a business center in the building and there isn't one, but the concierge happily printed up a few documents for us. The view is as amazing as you'd want it to be, and the balcony makes it perfect as it is wonderful to be able to enjoy watching the ferries, dog park below, etc.
Good to know: Parking is incredibly expensive. We thought we'd be driving more and so rented a car, but could have saved money just by using a ride service. It is $30/day in the building but if you make the mistake like we did of leaving in the morning, coming back for a few hours, and then leaving again, it was $25 just for those few hours. You will be provided only one key, but the key fob lets you into the building and gives you access to the -private- elevators from the parking garage. Finally, the "air conditioning" is not a formal HVAC system, but rather a portable AC utilizing an open window in the living room. It didn't cool the whole apartment. The bedroom did have two really strong fans aimed at the bed which made sleeping much more comfortable and was appreciated, and if you have Seattle's typically mild weather it'll be fine.
Temporary conditions: The -public- elevator from the parking garage is out of sevice with signs posted about no date when it will be operating again. This means that on arrival we had to schlep our stuff up the Harbor Steps to the lobby which was a very unwelcome surprise. Its less an issue once you have the keys as you can use the private elevators, but check with mgmt to see if this is fixed before you stay and plan accordingly. Additionally, the "Peloton gym" is closed for remodeling so was not available.
