Jun 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### North End Cottage The little cottage, in the North End of Tacoma, was charming. The overall cleanliness was fine. There was an unusual smell in the kitchen that was off putting and pungent. The kitchen was not stocked with any washcloths or sponges, which made cleaning dishes a challenge. The bedroom was comfortable, and so was the mattress. The Keurig coffee maker would not work, which was a big inconvenience for me the next morning. Overall it was a good stay with minor inconveniences. ##### Denise B. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Please keep the following in mind: The property is located in a safe, quiet, and walkable neighbourhood. We enjoyed strolling to the Delightful Neighborhood Market to grab quick meals and groceries. The interior is clean, well organized aesthetically pleasing, and just the right size for two people. Communication with the owners was friendly, courteous, and prompt. I would love to stay at this property again during my future visits to Tacoma. Here are a few areas where improvements could be made: 1\. During check-in, we were a bit confused about which keypad to use. The owner quickly answered our questions and assisted us. However, resolving this issue took about 30 minutes because we were trying to use the rear keypad and it kept timing out. It would be helpful to mention in the check-in procedures that it is the side door, not one of the two back doors, and perhaps provide pictures or a map. 2\. Additionally, I hope that the kitchen blinds are repaired for future use as they face the driveway and could not be lowered all the way while we sat down to dine. As a single woman traveling alone with a child, I appreciate an increased feeling of safety and security provided by screens and curtains to block unwanted viewing. 3\. Thicker curtains for the bedroom would be appreciated, as the light from the streetlamps made it difficult to sleep comfortably. This is a personal preference, as I like a dark bedroom for better rest. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bill j.

Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Natasha l. Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Do NOT stay here. This is a total bait and switch in terms of how it is laid out and type of home. This is a quadplex. They don’t tell you it’s not a standalone unit until you’ve paid for it and even then they lie and say it’s a duplex. We would not have booked this if we had known this. We scared the crap out of one of the tenants when we were trying to get into the home (and her very understandably angry father drove up to confront us, which could have ended poorly if he didn’t understand our situation and that it wasn’t our fault )and when we tried to communicate with the owners, they refused to respond to us about which unit it was because I guess they were still trying to hide the fact that it wasn’t a quadplex? I don’t know, but the communication was so terrible and they blamed us for being confused. The whole situation felt like shut up and give us your money. they told us they were being clear because in a picture from a drone of the home there’s an arrow pointing to it, which gives no information about which unit it is. Especially when everything they send just says the address with no unit. And they refused to respond about what unit it was! On top of it the building itself is rundown looking on the outside and with all of the terrible communication, we did not want to stay there. ##### Natasha l.
