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.

Relaxing and Great Amenities!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this comfortable condo. Great location for shopping and getting to our appointments. The kitchen was wonderful for cooking family meals (lots of kitchen utensils, appliances, etc) and the furniture and beds were comfortable. It was an easy place to relax and we would definitely stay here again. Also, very easy communication with owner when we unexpectedly needed to extend our stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

This unit is nice. They have everything. The location was a bit tough to find, but we made our way. The parking is close to the front door, but not designated. We didn't have any problems with parking. Easy check in and out.

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.

Clean, Comfortable beds, terrible access

The place was dated but very clean. The beds and furniture was comfortable. There was no desk for working and the lighting above the kitchen table was poor. I should have inquired about this. My main complaint is the access to the door. We had to drive through a giant puddle to a very narrow alley. It was weird to say the least.

Let’s be honest

The location was very convenient and we were able to accomplish what we needed to do in a short period. We appreciate the accommodations but we did have some concerns. Some safety concerns were the entrance area which was uneven, the stairs to the upstairs area was steep and the railings felt like they needed to be fastened down more. Some issues on cleanliness: we did find some hair in the sink and on the bedsheets, also some unknown stains on the powder room door. Drainage for the shower and bathroom sinks were very slow. Regulating the shower temperature was very tricky. Also the vent to the guest room was inconsistent since one day felt cold and the next was very warm.
