So glad to hear the stay checked all the boxes and that everything felt fair, comfortable, and well kept. Being easy to reach when it matters is important to us, and we’re happy that came through. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’d be welcome back anytime if your travels bring you this way again.
After an incredibly long day on the road (10 hours) I finally arrived, and while I was extremely tired and worn out from the road, I struggled unlocking the front door (completely due to my own fault!) I called for the Host help, The response was immediate, and within a minute I was finally able to breathe and relax in what truly was the perfect getaway! My stay was incredibly business-friendly and on the days where I was not working, I enjoyed perusing the local shops nearby! Spending a whole month away from my family was very difficult, but having such a wonderful place to come back eased my tensions immensely! If you are looking for a beautiful abode to hang your hat in the Downtown Tacoma area I could not recommend "The Perfect Getaway" more! 10/10
