Beautiful location and view
The location and views were amazing. A very clean, comfortable place. The best was waking up in the morning and going on a nice long walk in the park.

Clean and modern, great location
The apartment is modern, bright and uncluttered (but still was stocked with just about anything you might need during your stay). It is small but laid out efficiently so that it was very comfortable for our family of three. Claire and Gabriel were wonderful hosts and responded to our texts promptly when we had questions or concerns. The best part of our stay was that the apartment is about a 5 minute walk from the main entrance of Point Defiance Park, the best park in Tacoma.

Great location, would stay again
Walking distance to Point Defiance, Point Ruston, and restaurants like the Antique Sandwich shop. I used this as a home base for exploring Mount Ranier and Olympic National Parks (each were roughly 2 hours away). I enjoyed morning coffee on the rooftop deck. The home was clean and comfortable and had a very nice kitchen. I checked in late and had just a little trouble finding the place after dark, and figuring out where the entrance was once I parked, but in retrospect there are helpful signs posted (a little higher up than eye level and didn't notice them in the dark while watching my footing). Would be good if the final check-in instructions had a little more detail on that part.
