We have stayed at this condo address twice before. I prefer it over any other we have stayed at when this one was not available. Always clean and the owner is available and helpful if needed. The location is close enough to shopping and fun so that you are not driving very far.

Ron Tines, the awesome property manager, was exceptionally good because he is a superb communicator, addressing any question immediately regarding the property. The condo was lovely with Cuisinart cookware and Keurig. The Keurig pod holder was filled when I arrived. The location is beautiful with a view of Puget Sound. Parking is secure and access to the condo was seamless. Air conditioning and fans were useful in controlling the temperature in the unit. Just a reminder that the washer dryer combo is in the bedroom without the en suite bathroom. All appliances worked well. Dishwasher pods, trash bags, and paper towels were supplied. Abundant toilet rolls were available. Condiments and artificial sweetener were also available in abundance. This is a spectacular property at a very reasonable price. I shall be returning to this property on my next visit. The property is a beautiful neighborhood with challenging walks available. Police patrols were frequent. The condo is almost directly behind the Rust Mansion. Hospitals, restaurants, and gyms are close by. Thanks for a great visit!

Quiet building in quiet neighborhood. Very convenient to U of Puget Sound. Spacious living/dining area with balcony and water view. Ron was great host, responsive and accommodating. Kitchen and second bedroom a little small but functional. Would stay there again.

What else can I say other than the property was as described and more tastefully decorated than we expected? My husband declared these the MOST comfortable beds he's ever had in a rental (I concur). The kitchen was well appointed with a stock of coffee that made me almost wish I drank coffee again! The neighborhood was safe and very walkable (some hills depending on your destination). The view! Oh my gosh. We saw Mt. Rainier several days from the condo balcony - I took pictures for my resident sister who said "No way!" Appreciated the assigned parking spot out back. Hope to stay again.

Comfortable 2 bedroom/2 bath condo with balcony view of the Sound and within walking distance to Old Town. Located behind historic mansion in an historic neighborhood that is safe, even when walking at night. Convenient parking right in front of the unit, and no steps to climb.

We were visiting to help our granddaughter get settled in for college at the University of Puget Sound. The location of the property was very convenient and the view of the bay from the balcony with morning coffee was great!

Very comfortable, well appointed, quiet condo is in the best Tacoma area. Covered parking, comfortable bed, view of the Sound, even the provided aluminum foil make this a pleasant stay. Ron is a good communicator. If he continues with this Vrbo rental, we will likely stay here again.

I was looking for easy access for my 70 year old sister who has difficulty with stairs. I emailed Ron and he recommended the perfect unit! We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful visit with family living in Tacoma. I spoke with a neighbor renting a unit for a few days and they mentioned being return renters because the place is so nice and convenient!

We used to live in the neighborhood nearby and it was a perfect place for us to stay. Condo was comfortable, clean, well appointed and the view was beautiful! What more could a person need?!
Ron was a great host and replied quickly to answer any questions.

Comfortable condo with a view
We were in Tacoma for a family wedding and this condo was the perfect home base for our stay for our group of 4. The condo is clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of Puget Sound. It is well stocked with basics like paper towels, dishwashing liquid, shampoo, making it easy to just visit with family and explore the area. The neighborhood is quiet, safe and walkable. Ron provided detailed information about the condo, neighborhood and places of interest, and responded quickly with any questions or issues. When we are in the area, we would like to stay again!

Perfect place to stay, and enjoyed the beautiful view!
This two bedroom, two bath condo was a perfect place for me, my husband and our 2 adult sons. It is a very convenient location, with easy access to the highway and the North End and shops and restaurants near by. It is very safe neighborhood to walk around, often people walking by with pets. Other people we met in the covered parking area were nice and friendly. It was a quiet location. Loved the view of the Puget Sound and the blossoming cherry trees right from our deck, and seeing the great architecture of the old time homes in the surrounding blocks. I grew up in this area so it is so convenient to meet up with family close by and have our own home to go back to. Really fond of the electric fireplace that takes the chill out of the air in the damp Northwest. The host was very responsive to any inquiries I had and provides a lot of information prior to arrival. It was nice to have a designated parking spot. Easy access for checking in. I highly recommend this place to stay!

Great Condo... Great Location...Quiet and safe!
Picking a rental when you are unfamiliar with the area can feel daunting, but be assured, you will not be disappointed! The condo was located in a beautiful neighborhood, nestled between immaculately kept homes. We felt very safe. The view is wonderful, and the condo is clean and well appointed. You can walk to the water in less than 10 minutes. You'll find a cute coffee house on your way. Just a few blocks away is an amazing restaurant/bistro called The Rosewood Cafe. Great food and service! The condo is not far from a local Costco and Safeway. For car buffs, take in the LeMay Car museum which is very close by in Tacoma. We had a wonderful visit and Ron was a very gracious host!

Lovely & warm with a view
This was the best condo or apartment my sister and I have stayed at in Tacoma! We come annually for a conference and will stay here again if it's available in a New York minute. :-) The condo is immaculate, the view of the sound is such a plus and the bedrooms are nicely appointed, comfy and clean. It is about 5-10 minutes from downtown Tacoma and also close to the Proctor District, which makes getting around easy. Ron gave us excellent instructions for using everything and recommended some good restaurants. He gets an A++ in our book!

Quiet Tacoma North End
The Elmwood Condo Unit #4 is conveniently located for our North End visits. There are no stairs from the back parking garage and a great view of Commencement Bay from the Yakima St. lanai and spacious living room. There's plenty of room to spread out with two bedrooms and two baths. The full kitchen is nice to have while on the road. We will definitely stay here again.

Great clean place with nice view.
Nice condo, beautiful view. Nice to not to have stairs as one person had a bad knee. Very clean and no problems at all. We were able to get in early which was wonderful as 2 of the guests were arriving from Philadelphia and were ready for a nap! I would rent here again.
