This spacious house has great light and is nicely furnished. It has a private feeling especially in back, with its view of trees and greenery. A nice surprise was a desk in the front area of the house that has an adjustable height, with a built-in wireless phone charger and usb ports. We loved walking to the Tacoma Park shops and restaurants or, even closer by, to the Safeway grocery store. As noted by another reviewer, a little "white noise" from playing music can help if you are sensitive to occasionally hearing muffled conversation from the basement apartment (Juanita's parents, she explained. Juanita also explained that they would leave the door from the basement to the house locked from their side.) Juanita was super responsive to questions I had, even though she's in a different time zone. We so enjoyed meeting Juanita's mother and also appreciated the eggs, milk, wine and welcome note that were left for us.
