The Nook - Art-Filled 3BR Tacoma • NearWright Park + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"The house was in good shape. Host was very communicative. Location is not great at all. Tons of homeless sleeping right across the street. Right next to a hospital so you’re hearing sirens all night and right off a main road so road noise in general can be heard at all hours."

The Nest - 4BR Historic Duplex • Walk to Park + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"The townhouse (really the second and third floors) has excellent space — four bedrooms and three baths. There were plenty of bath towels and the washer and dryer were greatThe neighborhood is going through a transition, though we always felt safe. It’s only a block to Wright Park, which is great. We were frustrated that we had to walk past overflowing garbage bins every day (we were there six nights) as we walked to the front door. We messaged the owner, who said the cleaning crew should have taken care of that and we could put our garbage in other bins. There was never an offer to empty them."
