"Such a great place to stay in Port Townsend! It’s at the end of the main shopping/restaurant street, so very convenient and NOT in the middle of the party/music/bar area… which is GREAT! Btw. (The music/bar area) love it!! Such a great little town! Lots to do and see! So if you stay here, you can walk steps to the action and not be IN it. It’s such great place to stay. Very clean, very close to the action and not IN it. "

"I loved the location as well as the cleanliness and amenities of this Vacasa rental. It's in the heart of the town, with everything so near by and accessible. The few issues I ran into (and noted here) really weren't "show stoppers" for me. Just areas that could use small improvement.
