Great location a very short walk to the downtown shopping area & some bars & resturants. The other resturant & store area by the marina is just a mile & half away so could walk or drive to it. It is exactly as pictured and kitchen has every cooking appliance you could want.

This little apartment was at an extremely convenient location, near restaurants and the Sea Life Center. We found the bed too soft for our taste, and it is (as advertised) a small place. But it does have a kitchen and two chairs to sit at in the entry way, so we were comfortable enough. The price was quite good, so we felt we had a good deal.

It was the cutest little apartment, perfect for my husband and I! The host made sure to breakdown all the information you needed for check in and check out. Shelly was very responsive and gave many suggestions for tours and food. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to from this stay- the small boat harbor being the farthest around a mile. The place was very clean and had everything you could need from kitchen appliances, to soap in bathroom, to fans in the bedroom! I only wish we could have stayed longer!

I highly recommend this apartment if you're staying in Seward. Very clean, organized, and seamless process for check-in/check-out. We stayed in a downstairs unit in this small historic apartment building. The kitchen has everything you'd ever want or need. We appreciated they had some Tupperware for us to borrow to pack a lunch. It's a relatively small space, but they have maximized the layout and it has a huge empty closet for luggage, two chairs for lounging, and a long counter with stools for setting out your stuff. For the two of us it was perfect. It's just a minute walk to the beach/park, restaurants (we recommend Seward Brewing Co.) and just a 5 minute drive down to the harbor for boat tours. We appreciated the enforced quiet hours 10pm-7am. Communication was excellent. Thank you so much!

The Marathon Historic apartment was a perfect base for our time in Seward and the Kenai Fjords. The apartment is very comfortable and homey, clean, well-equipped, quiet, and the location is excellent for walking to the waterfront, restaurants, shops, and the Alaska Sealife Center. Shelly provided clear instructions for check-in and many great recommendations for restaurants and attractions. My husband and I enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day!
