The unit needs to be upgraded, but it is a good value if you’re looking for a two bedroom with a large screen TV in a good and neighborhood at a decent price.

Very nice little apartment. Comfortable beds. Clean and cozy. The bathroom could use some TLC but overall served our purpose.

Warning: the pictures do not match the unit. I understand every host wants to show their best angles, but this felt very misleading on arrival.The kitchen was very outdated, and none of the burners were level, so pots and pans sat unevenly and cooked food inconsistently. Dish inventory was way short for a place that sleeps a family: just 1 wine glass, 3 bowls, 3 small plates, and 3 butter knives. Our family of 4 couldn’t even eat cereal together without washing dishes in between. There was no wine opener and no salad bowl either — but somehow 2 crockpots. No dishwasher, so all of this was hand-washed. The dining table was pushed against a wall with only 2 chairs, so eating together as a family wasn’t really possible there either. Small thing, but the lamp by the front door was also missing a lightbulb.Biggest issue: no AC. They provided a fan for each bedroom, but it wasn’t nearly enough to stay cool in summer. Further, the beds had heavy comforters and there were no light quilts or blankets to swap in, so we were stuck sweating under thick bedding all night.The Tacoma location itself was convenient — easy to get around and close to the freeway — but the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy and the complex itself was pretty run down.On the plus side, communication was quick every time I reached out. And despite everything, it was still a better option than a hotel since our kids had their own bedroom. Just wouldn’t book again without some real upgrades to the basics.

Apartment in Tacoma

This stay was entirely false advertisement. The kitchen and bathroom photographed in the ad were not the rooms that were in my apartment. I noticed that the pictures of MY bathroom and kitchen were in a different post showing that they were in a separate apartment also owned my the property owner. The images that show “exterior” and “property grounds” are not on the property at all. I was excited about the falsely advertised kitchen. You can see in the image that the kitchen shows and entirely different living area in the background. There was also a leak in the bathroom the entire stay that the landlord never repaired despite knowing of it. I also had people come to check on the leak (4-5x) who for whatever reason unplugged my fridge and could’ve expired all of my food. They also left my door unlocked and left miscellaneous items in my appt.
