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.

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.
