Great Place Overall

This home is comfortable and affordable. The owner responded very quickly to a couple of questions/concerns. It was a great location for us visiting with family and doing a little sight-seeing. The whole place was clean overall, but the main bathroom could use a full deep cleaning.

Very enjoyable stay

Great place to stay at an affordable price. The host was very helpful and left us ideas for eating places. Clean space, every needful thing provided (and then some). Quiet, pleasant neighborhood, not far from airport and good shopping facilities. Some travel guide/tourist books right in the apartment. Good internet. Only thing we had some trouble with was the front sidewalk, which needs some repairs. (Probably wouldn't have been a problem except that we had some mobility problems.) Certainly would recommend staying there and would stay again if we ever have the opportunity to go back to Alaska.

better than a bachelor's pad

It is centrally located, nice decor and furnishings, old kitchen cookware, needs attention to cleaning details(mildew on shower curtain, carpet leaving dirt on socks, dust on walls and fixtures).

Worked Well for our Family

This place worked well for our family. With two bedrooms, we each had private space compared to a hotel. And with the full bath - and second half bath - it also allowed us feel less rushed when getting ready. Read the travel directions, and look at the map, closely, as it is otherwise difficult to find. Thanks again!

Short stay- Anchorage

Cozy apartment perfect for 2 couples. Bathrooms updated, newer kitchen appliances and kitchen well stocked including condiments and comfy furniture. Washer/ dryer with detergent were a welcome addition for our post cruise stay! We'd recommend for an affordable comfy stay while in Anchorage. Finding the unit was tricky 1st time and the scent of cleaning product over strong upon arrival but we were able to air it out. Overall a pleasant stay.

This was a great choice for our busy weekend. Nice hub for our chosen activities. Owner gave great directions and instructions. Great amenities. Quiet and cosy. Easy distance from anything you want do in the area. The only problem we had was that the Smart TV in the downstairs needs some kind of update. Gives a constant interupting message that it is short of storage and that some apps should be deleted.
