First time staying in the upper unit. Well appointed and clean. The bed is super comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, close to downtown and safe to walk. Owner is responsive and helpful.

It was noisy walking around. It had an odd odor and the laundry room was outside, that may have been a Tacoma thing. The decor was pleasant.

It was fine overall. We had a few glitches regarding the air conditioning, a broken lamp, finding bed linens for the pull out (and they didn't really fit). We needed to accommodate another family member on an emergency basis for a couple of nights, and it was good that we could do so. However, the apartment is not really suited for more than two people. The kitchen is good; the location is good. The stairs are steep and there is no handrail on the upper third or so. The bed is comfortable.

The Cushman House sits on a quiet street in residential Tacoma. Access to the building and our Unit (A, the upstairs) was easy via the electronic door lock. There are about 12 stairs up to the unit. Cushman A is spacious and attractive - simple, functional furnishings, plenty of light and lighting fixtures. The bedroom was large with a closet and hangers. The bed was comfortable and the linens clean. Overall, the unit was very clean, though when you are in the kitchen, there is a slight gas odor from the stove pilot. Everything one could need is provided in the kitchen. The bathroom was clean and had a ventilation fan. The toilet was a little 'moody' when flushing and the water pressure in the shower wasn't great but adequate. The living room was comfortable and TV/Wifi access easy. There is a small window AC unit in the living room and a large in-room AC unit in the bedroom, the latter rather noisy but it does cool the unit. We visited on one of the rare occasions when Tacoma was in the upper 80's and required the AC (July 2025). Our host was very good in communicating with us and answering questions. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Cushman House.
