"Didn’t eat it "

Marvelous apartment in North Tacoma, near UPS

"The loft apartment is like a furnished attic with wonderful slanting ceilings - it has character and we loved it. The beds and living room area are all in a big open space which is neat. The place was very clean, the owners very nice and responsive, and we were just blocks away from the University of Puget Sound "

"Needed a place to sleep 5 for a visit to UPS family weekend. We cooked one night and had take out another night. The place fit our needs, great location in what felt like a safe neighborhood. Hot tub was a bonus and a nice way to end afternoons of exploring. There were enough pots/pans for eating in. Coffee was stocked. Everything was clean and functional. "
