The neighborhood was quiet and a pleasant place to walk our dog. The house is clean, the beds comfortable and the kitchen and living room served us well. The host Suzi is friendly and accommodated our requests to make our stay memorable."

"Highly recommend! Very cute & quaint, with local charm little house. Comfortable bed & couch... so nice being able to have room to stretch out. Quiet neighborhood."

The Pine House: Unit B (near 6th Ave, UPS, UW, and Point Ruston)

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great! A quiet corner of Tacoma, very close to the convention center but not so close to be annoying. The street parking was sufficient but I wouldn't call it ample... it was one of those situations where by the time you go to sleep, the entire road is lined on both sides with cars. But we always had room right along the property so it was fine. The beds were nice and cozy and we didn't hear the upstairs neighbors at all."
