This place is a GEM. Mom lives at Franke Tobey Jones, and this place was ideal for proximity. The house itself is simply charming! I've never stayed at a place that was even better than the pictures. The hosts are warm, friendly, and available. The building on the street side of N. Pearl is great: features a gluten-free bakery (with yummy items), with cozy spots for relaxing out of the house. There is a great bar just down the alley, and a really nice Italian restaurant as well. The Guest Book is a great resource. Check out is a cinch. Two tiny wishes: more coasters and a way to buy the cookbook that the hosts published. (Oh, and maybe an upgrade to the TP.) This property is better suited to adults and older children, I think. This will be our Go To spot in Tacoma!
