Convenient condo for 2

This room is one of four (from my perspective) 1bd spaces on the basement of a large house. It’s fairly private, cute and modern. The rooms are clustered together, so it’s not ultra quiet. The neighborhood is charming and location is very convenient to Ruston way (waterfront options) and downtown. We would stay here again.

Tacoma North

This was a perfect place for my husband and I because we could easily walk down the street to our son’s house to see our new grandchild. We loved that it had the outdoor patio with a water view. There are several steps up to the the patio and in and out of the rental, but that was fine for us. The Inside met all our needs and nothing was lacking. (Heads up, however, to vegans…there is a fair amount of leather and animal fur.) We would definitely come again!
