My husband had a conference at the Tacoma Convention Center. This was a short, easy drive to the convention center and also a short distance and easy drive to Port Defiance park. Enjoyed our stay!

A very nice property well-appointed. Suited our purpose as a stopover while visiting family.

This property has some issues. The pictures do not portray the truth…very low ceiling and lower beam, poor light, dirty windows, and the room is under the garage and it feels like it with chopped up space. toilet and bathroom sink in small, oddly sized space. Worse, pictures don’t tell you the story.

It was okay

First of all, the heating system was broken so it was very cold. The tiny fridge was full of other people’s food. The coffee maker didn’t work. The internet barely worked. It took multiple attempts to contact the host. Very unresponsive about internet issues. There were at least half a dozen spiders throughout the place. There’s no means to prepare food. The soap/shampoo dispensers in the shower were empty. I am a neat freak and the host said I left it messy? She also said in her review I didn’t follow the property rules? Not sure what that is about. Overall I would not recommend this property. I

Comfortable and relaxing home base for a busy weekend. First time experiencing a PNW heatwave. So pleased that the situation of the guesthouse kept it cool all day. Thanks for the lovely accommodations.

Perfect for me as a single traveler. Nice location with plenty of restaurants. Safe location. Comfy bed. TV could be a bit larger but not a big deal.

Place was exactly as described and in a beautiful location.

Great location and the sauna was great! A little tough for the tall, because of a low beam, but all in all we had a fantastic stay.

Great location. Not fancy but met our needs.

The room was nicely appointed and clean. I had one issue - the heat (or lack thereof). I arrived to a cold room, found the heating unit in the bathroom didn't work, turned the heating unit in the main room to high and left. That night I almost slept in my clothes because it was still cold. It took a day and a half for the room to become comfortable. I would have called the owner, but the access information did not include a phone number.

The home was quiet, comfortable, and relaxing.

The property was just as described. Location is beautiful and close to everything. We felt very comfortable walking around neighborhood to nearby restaurants. It was perfect for my daughter and me.

This place is perfect for a short stay. Bed is comfortable and shower is hot. There is a sauna but too hot in The summer for me to try it, It is quiet . There is no “kitchen” just coffee pot and microwave and small fridge…so don’t plan to cook. There are plenty of restaurants close and the Metropolitan Market has plenty of choices for carry out.

The location of the property is excellent for people who like to be off the beaten path a bit. It was a quiet location close to some easy hiking trails, nice walking paths and really good restaurants. It is not the place for you if you want to cook or prepare any food. There is no kitchen facility. We enjoyed our stay and were able to do what we wanted.

It was a nice quiet beautiful neighborhood with shops and restaurants near by. We had unusually hot weather and understood there was no ac which can be common. We could have used a fan as there were several windows but we only kept 1 open because the others all had holes all over the screens large enough for insects. There was a slug on the floor the second day we got back from an outing . We were there for 5 nights and left with 2 towels, 2 washcloths and 1 roll of toilet paper. We did contact the owner who responded quickly that she was away but would have someone drop by with toilet paper and they did by the next morning. We did not receive any additional towels. The owner stated not to use the bathroom sink to rinse dishes because the sink had been previously clogged due to food getting stuck which supposedly was repaired. The sink backed up every time we brushed our teeth so we just turned the water off while doing so. Our stay was disappointing because of these issues and feel they should be addressed before future renting.

not what I expected

The location of the room is wonderful. The garden is nice, but the patio furniture is partly broken and uncomfortable. There was only one mug and glass (for two people), and no shampoo for the shower. The only way to wash the few dishes that were available was in the small bathroom sink which was clogged up. It's a nice place to stay for one or two nights, but we were there for 5 nights and it wasn't the right spot for us.

Great

The property was great for a couple. It was close enough to the waterfront, hiking trails, Proctor District and Point Ruston. The studio is below a detached garage. It does have some unique design and construction traits (low beam, steep steps) but other areas, like the private sauna, great water pressure & comfortable furniture make up for them. The TV could be larger but it worked for the room. The Apple TV and Direct TV were nice to have. The owner was great with communication and made herself available if needed but only saw her or the family on our way out. We had a wonderful active & relaxing weekend.

Pro’s Excellent neighborhood Close to waterfront and great restaurants Good coffee in apt Killer water pressure Comfortable bed Excellent wifi Cons If your taller than 5’10” wear a helmet No side tables by bed, very inconvenient No napkins or anyway to clean up Nowhere to get rid of trash or extra bags Two car garage over bedroom very loud and dangerous, rafters way under rated for span, foundation is sagging to the point you fall into wall exiting the bed. Owner wasn’t welcoming on the phone and honestly set a weird mood. With all that said I would recommend after fixing a few of the cons.

We were quite happy with our stay in North Tacoma. The listing was very accurate, clean, quiet. The complimentary items were generous and well thought out. My only knock (this being quite literal), is that a central beam in the room sits at about 6ft. Not a big problem as it was well understood after the first day. Overall, I would stay again and recommend others to this great location.

Overall good experience in nice neighborhood. Quiet neighborhood with good views. The beam in the middle of our room was a bit of a pain for my husband that had to duck under it every time, but overall good experience.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a quiet, pleasant place to relax in. Very convenient for us to stay in while visiting our son and his family.
