0.7 mi to Wal Mart, 2 miles or less to Costco, 3 miles from downtown Tacoma, nearby restaurants and gas stations, very close to highway(5 minutes), 30 minutes to Seattle (depending on traffic, could be 45 mins) and airport, 2 hours from Olympic National Park and Mt Rainier National Park and Anacortes. Host was VERY helpful, quick to respond. Place was spotless and big and new and well-kept. Loved our stay of 6 people, WIFI was QUICK with 4 of us working and video-conferencing at the same time! Great work/play vacation. Neighborhood is being gentrified but went for walks without any issues. Highly recommend this place!
