I frequently visit Seattle and always choose to stay at the Harrison Modern if it's available. The location in Capital Hill is close to everything, walk to bus line, grocery stores, restaurants, downtown. Having stayed in both units I can say both are impeccable! For me the most important thing in renting a house or a hotel room is a good nights sleep, the beds and bedding are VERY comfortable, and the units are spacious and well equipped. AND it's great to have a parking space!
Ian is a gracious host.
Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I, plus two friends rented at the Harrison Modern for a long weekend in Seattle, we were more than happy with the apartment, our stay was just fantastic! Ian was such a gracious host and made us feel super welcome. We loved the back patio and super nice, clean furnishings. I love cooking and the kitchen was totally equipped with everything I could need, it was so helpful to have all the little things right there. It was also so great to have laundry on site! We would totally stay again!

Wonderful place to stay in Capital Hill

We have stayed here twice in the past two years and highly recommend it. Capital Hill is a busy and fascinating neighborhood, but the Harrison Modern is a very quiet and peaceful place to stay in the middle of it. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the outside deck a lovely bonus. The owner was easy to work with through the booking process, and quickly available to answer any questions. I would definitely stay here again on another trip to Seattle.

My week at the Harrison Modern Apartments was perfect! Ian is a wonderful owner and was incredibly patient with my questions as well as courteous and helpful. The apartment itself was stylish, clean, comfortable, perfectly located and filled with extras. There was parking available and the sweetest little patio that included seating and a barbeque. My friends from Austria said it was like being at home only better. The beds were comfortable, there was always hot water, and we had everything we could want or need available. The location is also amazing - you can walk everywhere and there are fabulous stores and restaurants nearby. My only hesitation in writing a review is that anyone who is lucky enough to stay here will want to stay again and then the competition for reservations will be fierce. I will not hesitate to stay here or in any property of Ian's in the future - in fact, I look forward to it. Reserve now - you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful Place To Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: September 17, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This is a wonderful place to stay while in Seattle. The unit is clean and well kept. It is in a nice neighbourhood with lots to explore nearby. There seems to be lots of public transportation, but if you like to walk (like us) both the Space Needle and Pike Place Market are easy walks - coming back is a little tougher as it is up-hill, but that is a good thing to work off those extra treats. Taking a bus back would be an option as well, but our 6yr and 10yr children managed the walking with minimal fuss. Street parking seems to be available at the unit, but I would recommend the parking spot so you now you have a reserved spot (I think there is a 2 hour limit on the street during the day). Overall, we loved this place and will definitely be coming back.
Owner's Response: Hi Dan, Thanks for the great review. We are very lucky to have location we do and Capitol Hill is getting better all the time, I can't wait for the light-rail station to open just 2 blocks from the building. Best Ian

Although I'm bummed that Unit 1117 will be unavailable for my return in September, I quite enjoyed my stay for the week in June. The apt really felt like home, and I was comfortable instantly ! The bed is to die for and the kitchen is well-equipped for those times you want a home cooked meal. We went to the Farmer's Market on Sunday as Ian recommended .. not to be missed. Although we were unable to use the grill, the deck is a nice place to sit and watch the sunrise and sunset with a nice glass of wine.

See you in September Ian (I better book Unit 1111 soon) .. Cheers !!

Harrison Modern

The Harrison Modern worked out very well for us. The location in the Capitol Hill neighborhood is both convenient to downtown Seattle and is well situated relative to restaurants and grocery stores. We really appreciated your restaurant recommendations. Jamjuree on 15th was terrific--the best Thai fooe we've had and with very reasonable prices. Table 219 (now Americana) for breakfast was also exceptional. And we tried to go to Barrio, but weren’t able to get a reservation--next time we'll plan ahead. The apartment worked very well with plenty of room for four people. The kitchen was well stocked, everything worked worked well.

It's always nice to have the comforts of home on vacation, while still being able to take advantage of everything your destination has to offer. The Harrison Modern scores high on both counts. The apartment was very comfortable for us and our three-year-old son. Being able to cook and do laundry on-site was a real convenience. The Capitol Hill neighborhood is great, with plenty to do and see within easy walking distance. And downtown Seattle, with all its attractions, is also an easy walk from the Harrison Modern. If you need to go further out, there's quick access to the city's buses and trains. One of Seattle's real strengths as a city is its walkability, and the Harrison Modern's location really lets you experience that, without venturing too far from your "home away from home." All in all, it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
