The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. We loved the Keurig Latte Machine in the mornings, the accessible Amazon Prime in the evenings, the outdoor space for reading or relaxing in the sun. We also had fun attending a friend’s wedding and taking in some of the many activities in the area. We would definitely stay again. Thanks.

Thank you for your review and feedback. It is important to me that my guests have a nice experience and having a clean house is a top priority of mine. I also have an inspector who checks the house out after the cleaners have finished to make sure nothing was missed and to keep everything stocked up-like snacks and toilet paper. I hope you feel comfortable coming back to visit again. Take care! Julie

The home was exactly as described, very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed and more! It was conveniently located close to several restaurants, grocery stores, and a Walgreens. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! The host was quick to respond to any questions and gave us clear instructions. We look forward to staying there again next time we visit Tacoma!

Thank you, Matthew, for the superb review. It really means alot to me and to my daughter Michelle. She helps by making a final inspection after the cleaners are finished and before guests move in, to make sure it's clean and tidy and ready! We love to have everything you might need at The 255, and I appreciate the feedback. You are very kind and I hope you'll be back! Take care, Julie
