The Harvey House: 6th Ave, UPS, UW, Ruston

I’ve stayed there twice now. I would recommend it again simply for the convenience factor. The host makes it very easy with the coded access.

Greatly enjoyed the location near restaurants and coffee, loved the sunny front porch and kitchen amenities. The bathrooms are tiny with only one small shower and a claw-foot tub in the other. It was cold, and being an older home the electric heaters ran constantly. Overall a good stay.

Really nice location if you want to be near everything on 6th street but also within quick driving distance to other places in Tacoma including UPS or Point Defiance. The updated historic house was very clean and well organized. The heat is via baseboard heaters which took quite awhile to heat up the home on the first day/evening we were there. Once warm, it stayed a great temp. The baseboard heat in the back bedroom was quite loud and could be heard through the wall to the front bedroom which was disturbing to my daughter's sleep. She also was woken up by lots of road noise on Friday night - Saturday was much quieter. You might consider bringing ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Despite that though, overall, I would recommend.

The house was great. Didn’t start the load of towels as did not find laundry detergent. I would stay again.

It is a very small house, but it worked for the three of us. Great location for walking to bars, restaurants and some quirky shops, including the most amazing record store I have ever been in.
