The house inside was very cute and worked fine. I would have to say that most of the area rugs were not clean. The bed upstairs was extremely comfortable.. what you don’t see on any of the pictures is the surrounding Neighborhood. It is on a very busy loud street. The bars across the street were loud until 2am! The actual driveway and parking area is off an alleyway. The house behind was very junky with 4 large Husky’s that were penned up in a small yard and would viciously bark whenever you walked by.We found a homeless persons bag in the side yard, the day we left. I would not stay there again.

Perfect location and no surprises

Great location, super walkable. Tons of cafes, some of the best restaurants in this city. This VRBO has terrific beds with nice linens and the house flows. The two bathrooms were full bathrooms. Nice large kitchen was a plus. Everything was just as represented in the photos. If you have planned an active stay in Tacoma you will not find a better VRBO.

The house is really cute and well taken care of! It’s small but perfect as a home base if you’re out and about a lot. It has everything you need for a few days and the beds are very comfortable. There was a bit of an issue with accessing the parking area as a neighbour blocked the entrance and didn’t move the entire weekend, but the owner directed us to another spot. There’s a loud, popular bar across the street which wouldn’t be great if you have little kids trying to sleep, but it could be a plus for anyone looking for a fun place to hang out!

Really great place to stay with friends!

We had a great stay at this property! The house was really clean and the beds were comfortable. I loved how each room had its own heater so that each person could have the temperature they preferred while sleeping! It would have been nice if the back door also had a keyless entry since that is where we parked our car but it wasn’t the end of the world. Also, the street noise is a little loud at night but use a white noise machine and all is good! The host was super responsive and accommodating. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Fun neighborhood, great location.

The house was perfect for our family. Comfortable and homey. Located close to plenty of cute shops and great dining. We highly recommend the pub, located directly across the street. Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and the ferry to Vashon are also a quick 10 minute drive. We would be happy to stay here again.

We were in town for a wedding at Chambers Bay Golf Club. Although it was a ways away from venue, we liked the neighborhood and it was super easy to get to and get around to everywhere we wanted. Lots of places to eat close by and was everything we needed. Shopping was close and we had no problems.

Comfy stay

The house was great! Although, it does list central AC/heat and that is not correct. There is only one window unit upstairs for one of the rooms. There are no ceiling fans either. We needed air movement at least as it had been warm, even for Tacoma area. We went to a local store and bought fans for the rooms. But the house itself was cute and clean! The reviews of the neighborhood were accurate so we were at least prepared for that. It is across the street from a bar. Since we slept with the windows open at night for cool air, we heard everything! The yard and parking were clean and well taken care of. We still felt safe in the neighborhood and with parking in back.

Nice Property for Adult Get Away

Very clean property with comfortable accommodations. Good setting for those looking for a weekend get away with friends or older family members. The house is located on a busy street with a bar next door, which caused the evenings to be a bit loud; light sleepers may want some ear plugs. With that said, it has off street parking and the main street I mentioned affords easy driving access to restaurants which are located on that road.

Family holiday

My family stayed here for a week to visit some folks in Tacoma over Christmas. It was a great house for grandparents, my sister, and my fam of 3. Everyone had their own space but we could hang out together also. It was spacious clean and airy. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms updated. The location was on a busy street (in a cool part of Tacoma) and sometimes it was a little noisy, but not enough to be super disruptive. The offstreet parking was great too.

A custom location

Plus: The place is clean and the actual beds are comfortable. Off street parking for 2. The fold down in the 4th bedroom is quite small and without sheets and pillows. The houseless trailer at the end of the driveway was a nice touch, as was the lack of keyless entry at the back parking spaces (which we were happy to have). Definitely bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. O'Malley's across the street is quite the upscale dive. All in all a decent place to lay your head.
