Perfectly fine for my purposes
The property is fine -- no kitchen (microwave and mini-fridge only) -- but I didn't want/need a kitchen so that was just fine for me. It had a lock box which was difficult to operate and I ended up locking my key in the unit.

Great place. Great location
We loved this place. It was in a great location close to the proctor shopping and dining. Comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, and a beautiful quiet neighborhood to relax at after a day of exploring. It's central to all the best areas of Tacoma. We are so happy we found this gem. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice Little Place - good price nice neighborhood.
This is a nice little spot for 1 or 2 people. Noce host! There is a view of the ocean from the yard. The bed was comfortable, needs more pillows. I would suggest a floor fan & window fans for air circulation as the room gets stuffy without fresh air. The TV is a micro 24” screen - way too small.

North End of Tacoma, March, 2024
The location was perfect for us. We were in town to visit family and friends. Close to the waterfront restaurants, and to family. Easy access to the Narrows Bridge. Two suggestions: Notify client of the significant stair in order to enter the bathroom; the addition or access to water and a sink would be ideal in the coffee area.

I would recommend this stay. You couldn't ask for a more lovely neighborhood and it is all less expensive than a hotel room.

Beautiful view, cute place.
Beautiful area. Super cute guest house. It’s very small and only a microwave and mini fridge for kitchen equipment. But if you are ok with that, it’s a great place. They do little things to make you feel very welcome. We will definitely book here if we are back in the area.

Nice room in beautiful quiet neighborhood
Other than the place not being prepared for us to check in, this place is a nice "hotel room" type option. Just a room with a microwave, small fridge, and coffee maker. It is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with a very nice view. The owners were out of town and miscommunicated with the contact person so the place wasn't ready when we checked in. Dirty dishes, used bottles of water around, no coffee, or wine glasses (as stated) were left for us. It took about 8 hours but we finally got some assistance. Overall though, it's a nice place to stay.

I slept better there than I had i 30 years. The location is quiet and within easy reach of shopping and attractions, like the Point Defiance Park and the Ferry to Vashon. I would gladly stay there in the future.

Cozy quiet and comfortable. Nice to have a view to wake up to! The house is located in a great residential neighborhood we walked to the waterfront and the park enjoying all the beautiful views, houses, and flowers along the way! Because we were in Tacoma for a wedding we didn't get to hit the museums or do much shopping but I think we will just need to come back!
