We enjoyed our stay. The VRBO was clean and convenient. Kitchen utensils for cooking, earing and cleaning were basic but comparatively less than other rentals in which we have stayed. Overall, we enjoyed the property and its amenities
The home was very accommodating. The location was perfect! Very close to many stores not far from great eclectic shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay again
This house worked well for our group. It had room for everyone. House has been updated and is new inside, while having the charm of being in a historic neighborhood. Would stay here again.
We were in town for a graduation at UPS and this was a perfect location. Close to the University (4-5 minute drive) and close to a nice park and great restaurants. The house is beautifully updated and very clean and comfortable. We slept well and enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. There is a fire pit in the backyard and a nice kitchen and dining area, as well. Highly recommended!
My team and I came down to the Tacoma Area for work and found this wonderful house centrally located in a peaceful neighborhood. Our stay was nice, the house had everything we needed and then some! Thank you so much for everything!
We stayed the weekend for a family wedding. The home is within walking distance to downtown and McMinimans, where the welcome party was held. We did have a pet and appreciated the fenced-in backyard.
A perfect place to stay when visiting my son and daughter in law who just moved to Tacoma. Close to the train and easy access
To Seattle for sightseeing and getting to the Seahawks and Commanders game. Cozy, well equipped house and all three bedrooms with comfortable beds and bedding. Hope to be able to stay here next time we visit.
The house is lovely and has all the amenities we needed, including the laundry room. It was clean and comfortable, we had access to the thermostat and extra blankets to keep us warm in January, and the view from the upstairs windows was very nice. It's also very conveniently located close to bus stops and the T line, which you can use to get to every tourist-y thing we wanted to do in the city, as well as fantastic restaurants, like Moshi or Corina. The host was awesome and accommodating, and responded very quickly when we had questions. We hope to get to stay here again!
Property was as described and very clean inside. All necessary details were communicated before our stay. Amenities throughout the house worked properly! Fans were available in every room :)
Overall the house was good. The location was perfect for us. Enjoyed the local restaurants, both walkable. Parking was easy. Lounge seating was limited with just one couch and one chair, anymore than 3 people would be an issue. Other than that everything else was good.
Check in process was very smooth and host was very communicative. They were also very flexible with us when our plans changed abruptly and we were able to rebook at a different date.House has experienced some wear from repeated guests and at least one of the bedrooms has a stale odor of smoke or something. There are lots of air fresheners throughout, which we did not appreciate, but may not bother others. The house felt safe and the neighborhood is a good one, so very convenient if folks are staying in Tacoma and wanting to explore the area. Street parking was easy and never a challenge. Many stairs to access home. Not a problem for us, but could be challenging depending on mobility.

Basic
Location was excellent. Walkable neighborhood.
Good space but very basic furnishings. Not very inviting. Not enough seating in the living area. Old food items left in the freezer and cupboards.

We were disappointed. There were no towels in the main bathroom down stairs and NO soap but multiple EMPTY soap containers in the bathroom and kitchen. We had to go to the kitchen and get paper towels to dry our watered hands. The place beat up a bit. Sheets in the one bedroom had something green on them and didn’t appear to be cleaned. The back door and lock are in bad shape. Blinds broken. Toilets dirty. Sinks with broken pieces. For almost 700 for two nights we expected more. Neighborhood and location were good. See pictures.
This house was spacious enough to comfortably meet out needs (3 adults). It was reasonably clean and check-in was easy. The location is great for walking to restaurants and shops, quick drive to the Ruston waterfront and the train station for a day trip to Seattle. House could use a little TLC (clogged bathtub/shower drain, toilet handle sticks causing it to run, water damage stains from skylight in primary bathroom, mysterious red stains on one of the comforters and a bedroom rug, etc). These issues didn't affect our stay, but we appreciate accommodations with a little more attention to detail.
Great location overall. The location was clean and not cluttered. Easy to check in and the owner was accommodating for an early check in. We would stay again.
A few things that are helpful to be aware of. It is an older home so smells crept in so every so often it would smell like weed like it did outside. Depending on who you are with it is good to know about this. Homelessness is high in Tacoma so we did not park in the back as there were some homeless individuals camping in the back alley. Once we parked in front we felt much safer.
The house was well stocked and included everything we could need, from extra blankets to an electric kettle to laundry pods. Every detail was considered by the hosts and was highly appreciated. While the front steps of the house may seem daunting at first, they are easy to climb; and there is an additional at-grade entry elsewhere on the house.
Host was friendly and responsive to our questions. House rules are very reasonable. The neighborhood is beautiful and not far from local coffee and conveniences.
Overall I would recommend this space for anyone in need of a comfortable, pet-friendly space with a full kitchen and on-site laundry. I’ll directly friends and family to this listing when they come to visit.

This was a very nice home in a Wonderful neighborhood close to the waterfront, downtown, and the University of Puget Sound where we attended graduation.
The house was great for our family to stay in to celebrate our Daughter’s graduation!
Unfortunately, while the listing said it was pet friendly (which is absolutely on me for booking the property) there was cat hair under beds, and the house would have been perfect if it was thoroughly deep cleaned.
Several family members experienced allergies in the house, and I even paid for a hotel room for the last two nights of the stay due to extreme allergies.
We have a cat, that is indoor/outdoor and I have never had such an allergic reaction, as did other family members.
The host was very responsive and helpful.
Please just note that if you have dog or cat allergies, this property isn’t ideal.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our needs and close to the facility that was hosting our father/grandfather's 100th birthday celebration.
