"Worked out great for our group and the hot tub was an added bonus!"

6th Ave district studio Quiet + Prkng

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay for one person (or two, but I was by myself). The studio unit has a nice functional kitchen, equipped with everything needed to cook for yourself and not need to go out for every meal. But the location is so great that you could walk to a different restaurant every day. The bed is perfectly comfy, and the bathroom is quite nice. Towels and some toiletries are furnished, and there’s a nice amount of space for clothing storage. Highly recommend."

Lovely Tacoma Cottage w/ Fire Pit, Near Dtwn!

10/10 Excellent

"While the cottage is small, it didn't feel small. I was able to make a roast in the small oven with no problem and loved the convenience of the washer and dryer in the cottage. The bed was very comfortable and the two ceiling fans offered enough air that, even without an air conditioner (I'm from Texas so the fact that there was no AC was worrisome) I was very comfortable in the cottage. There was parking in the back and side of the cottage which was very convenient. I would definitely"
