A wonderful apartment in the PERFECT location. Conveniently located on a short walk from the waterfront, three blocks from Pike’s Place Market, and one block from public transportation, the location could not be better. Communication was excellent and the check-in/check-out process was clear and easy to follow. The apartment itself is tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture and plenty of space. Everything is thoughtfully curated with the guest experience in mind-right down to umbrellas for guests to use. This was a five star experience from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Seattle!
We have stayed here multiple times. The location is excellent, the apartment is huge and has everything you need, and the host is very helpful and responsive. We will definitely stay here again.
The location was great. Reasonable paid parking in underground garage. We didn’t have to move our car once we checked in. It was very clean. I would’ve loved for the unit to have some rugs. There was only one by the sofa. The bathrooms, bdrms & kitchen felt bare and cold. Great stay overall!
Overall good. Great location. The only frustration is that most electrical outlets only work with one connection, and the ones in the 2nd bedroom only worked when lights were turned on.

Glad this guest had a good stay. Just to be clear, it's not "most" outlets. There are 2 outlets in each bedroom that are "switched" outlets or "half-hots". That means that 1/2 the outlet works when the wall switch is on. They are by the bedside tables so operate the lamps. There are other regular outlets in the bedrooms as well. And there are just 1 or 2 other switched outlets in the rest of the unit (living area). Had he called me during the stay (I wish he had!), I could have helped him navigate that easily, of course. Please let us know if you have any questions - before or during your stay! Thanks! Debra, Picture Properties
Location was great. Apartment could use some refreshing. Beds were uncomfortable. Apartment was clean and very convenient to restaurants, attractions and transportation.
This property sells itself by virtue of it’s location alone! On the plus side, the view from floor 22 (of 25) if the waterfront and city is magnificent - day and night. The location is also centered on Pike Market and many fine restaurants. On the negative side, the beds in both bedrooms are completely worn out - way too soft and supported by jury-rigged lumber . . . and the place could use a good cleaning.

Glad the guest enjoyed their stay. Most of our guests compliment us on how clean all our units are. Please peruse the reviews to see for yourself. Beds may be too soft for these guests, but we also get compliments on how comfortable they are. They have standard horizontal supports, with also vertical supports. We have never had anyone mention anything about this before, but they are not "jury-rigged", of course. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! Debra, Picture Properties
Great condo with amazing views. Beautiful place with plenty of amenities, gym, lounge etc. Located near the waterfront and Pike Place. The views from the deck are incredible!The host company was great with communication and answered right away.Would stay here again the next time we are in Seattle
Beautiful place with great views! The apartment was very clean and well kept, felt very safe. Easy to get to places around downtown by walking. We got a bit hot in the evening due to no A/C but it was also like 95 degrees out once it cooled down a bit it wasn’t so bad. Would definitely stay here again!
We rented the unit for a quick weekend in Seattle. The location for us was perfect for a show at the Showbox and a quick Uber to Lumen Field. Having a Starbucks in the building was a plus. The view was amazing! We will definitely stay with this property again.
This place was perfect for the grandparents and 4 grandkids. Great location, comfortable beds, and room to move around. Will definitely stay here again.
The location of this rental was superb for our visit. Close to restaurants, waterfront, and baseball games. The unit was well set up for our needs. The only downside and reason for overall rating is the lack of air conditioning which proved to be difficult during our stay.The unit was very hot and took all night to cool down. This would’ve been good to know prior to booking.

We do not advertise that we have AC (most residences in Seattle area do not have AC). It's also clear in the rental agreement we have all our guests sign right when they book. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! Debra, Picture Properties
Excellent location. Nice view from the small balcony on the 22 floor. Great instructions for finding unit and checking in. A few hiccups during stay (main Roku unit wasn’t working - unit manager, Debra was very responsive and after determining that it was broken vs user error, she ordered a new Roku device and we went to Target, picked it up and installed it. Whew!) second hiccup was some seriously filthy fans which again were quickly addressed and cleaned. Lastly was the fact that - on the last day- I realized that there were no hair dryers in the unit- too late for the administration to do anything about it for us but I’m sure the next guests will have new ones installed. All in all I would stay there again.

Thanks for the review. We brought 2 hairdryers to the unit the day we heard they were missing. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! Debra, Picture Properties
Great apartment buildings. Lots of amenities, which is nice. We knew ahead of time there was no AC, but in the prime time of summer months, it would be really nice to have an AC unit at least in the back bedroom as it is very hot and stuffy, even with fans. (One did not function, but others did so it was bearable). Window in back room does not open (not disclosed in description) so not great ventilation in the apartment. Other than that the stay was awesome. Thank you.
