We had a wonderful stay. Hosts were very communicative with arrival/check-in information. They responded very quickly to any questions. I grew up in Tacoma so I was very familiar with the area. For those who aren’t, rental is located in a quiet area on the North-end, close to waterfront, restaurants/stores, and easy access to the freeway. I would highly recommend staying here and I will definitely check for availability when I travel back to Tacoma.

First: cleanest Vrbo I’ve stayed in, hands down. Arranged nicely, good use of space. Great location— close to everything, but in a quiet street for a restful night. Tabitha was great with communication, and we never once felt like something would go wrong that she couldn’t solve. Would definitely stay here again.

The host communicated consistently. The apartment met all my needs and was located in a very charming neighborhood. Loved the about curtains in the bedroom. The host even emailed me after my departure and told me I’d left my doggy bowls and that she leave them on her Ponto pick up on my way home. Very sweet!

Darling little apartment at an affordable price. Easy stroll to the waterfront and old town neighborhood. Quiet neighborhood and a good nights sleep.We were surprised that Tacoma no longer has scooters or lime bikes -which are so fun to ride along the waterfront. But fortunately there's a bike rental just a few blocks from the apartment.

I stayed here for a local conference. Super convenient and great location. Check-in and parking were easy. While the hosts live upstairs, the entire suite still felt very private and they are available if you need anything. I really appreciated the mattress warmer (so cozy!), and I SUPER appreciated that the hosts left amenities in case you forget anything. I totally spaced on bringing my toothbrush and deodorant, but I didn't have to worry because they provided both! Total lifesaver. I didn't realize I left my pillow behind when I checked out until Tabitha reached out. She was very accommodating in making sure she was at home so that I could swing by to grab it after my conference was over. Can't recommend this place enough!
