This is a wonderful place ... except for the cobblestones - please read the review!

What else can I say other than the property was as described and more tastefully decorated than we expected? My husband declared these the MOST comfortable beds he's ever had in a rental (I concur). The kitchen was well appointed with a stock of coffee that made me almost wish I drank coffee again! The neighborhood was safe and very walkable (some hills depending on your destination). The view! Oh my gosh. We saw Mt. Rainier several days from the condo balcony - I took pictures for my resident sister who said "No way!" Appreciated the assigned parking spot out back. Hope to stay again.

Very comfortable, well appointed, quiet condo is in the best Tacoma area. Covered parking, comfortable bed, view of the Sound, even the provided aluminum foil make this a pleasant stay. Ron is a good communicator. If he continues with this Vrbo rental, we will likely stay here again.

Perfect! We’ll Stay Here Again

I was looking for easy access for my 70 year old sister who has difficulty with stairs. I emailed Ron and he recommended the perfect unit! We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful visit with family living in Tacoma. I spoke with a neighbor renting a unit for a few days and they mentioned being return renters because the place is so nice and convenient!

Comfortable condo with a view

We were in Tacoma for a family wedding and this condo was the perfect home base for our stay for our group of 4. The condo is clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of Puget Sound. It is well stocked with basics like paper towels, dishwashing liquid, shampoo, making it easy to just visit with family and explore the area. The neighborhood is quiet, safe and walkable. Ron provided detailed information about the condo, neighborhood and places of interest, and responded quickly with any questions or issues. When we are in the area, we would like to stay again!

Perfect place to stay, and enjoyed the beautiful view!

This two bedroom, two bath condo was a perfect place for me, my husband and our 2 adult sons. It is a very convenient location, with easy access to the highway and the North End and shops and restaurants near by. It is very safe neighborhood to walk around, often people walking by with pets. Other people we met in the covered parking area were nice and friendly. It was a quiet location. Loved the view of the Puget Sound and the blossoming cherry trees right from our deck, and seeing the great architecture of the old time homes in the surrounding blocks. I grew up in this area so it is so convenient to meet up with family close by and have our own home to go back to. Really fond of the electric fireplace that takes the chill out of the air in the damp Northwest. The host was very responsive to any inquiries I had and provides a lot of information prior to arrival. It was nice to have a designated parking spot. Easy access for checking in. I highly recommend this place to stay!

Great Condo... Great Location...Quiet and safe!

Picking a rental when you are unfamiliar with the area can feel daunting, but be assured, you will not be disappointed! The condo was located in a beautiful neighborhood, nestled between immaculately kept homes. We felt very safe. The view is wonderful, and the condo is clean and well appointed. You can walk to the water in less than 10 minutes. You'll find a cute coffee house on your way. Just a few blocks away is an amazing restaurant/bistro called The Rosewood Cafe. Great food and service! The condo is not far from a local Costco and Safeway. For car buffs, take in the LeMay Car museum which is very close by in Tacoma. We had a wonderful visit and Ron was a very gracious host!

Lovely & warm with a view

This was the best condo or apartment my sister and I have stayed at in Tacoma! We come annually for a conference and will stay here again if it's available in a New York minute. :-) The condo is immaculate, the view of the sound is such a plus and the bedrooms are nicely appointed, comfy and clean. It is about 5-10 minutes from downtown Tacoma and also close to the Proctor District, which makes getting around easy. Ron gave us excellent instructions for using everything and recommended some good restaurants. He gets an A++ in our book!
