Great view!

The place was almost exactly what I expected. Only thing I can say is I wish the tv was a little more up to date with the size and connectivity. Sauna was super easy to use and worked well! Really no complaints though.

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.

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.
