Our stay was wonderful. The unit was clean, comfortable, well equipped. The bed & pillows are extra comfy - way better than a lot of places we have stayed. The kitchen & living room are spacious. The bathroom is small but has everything (shower, no tub). The location is ideal for exploring downtown Seward.

Fantastic location, clean and cute place overlooking the street. Super cozy, nicely decorated and a nice space. I am a coffee lover and there were some items missing from the supplies for most coffee lovers. I messaged the host and not only were they apologetic for what wasn’t there, they asked for ideas and suggestions on what would make it more enjoyable. Great service in my opinion. Definitely recommend if staying in Seward.

The outside door had issues and seems everyone just left it propped open. Apart from that everyone was great. We loved the central location. Seward is a cute town. Bathroom was a tad on the "tight" side but we made it work.

What a lovely place to stay in Seward! Clean, cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. Location is great, easy to walk to local shops and restaurants, and only a few minutes drive to the waterfront where we went on a Kenai Fjords tour.If you are a light sleeper, you probably already have ear plugs, so be sure to bring them for your stay here, as it is on a busy street and you can hear cars and passersby.

This was a great spot for my Seward adventure! Close to downtown and the Sealife Center. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Especially important to me was warmth (as I visited during the winter) and it was very warm and cozy! I loved the decore. It was spacious for one, and it was quiet. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Great apartment located so close to everything downtown. The communication with the host was great and check in was really smooth. It’s an older building, but the apartment has been updated really nicely. My favorite part….the bed was really comfortable and we had a great night sleep! We come to Seward a few times a year and would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for helping make our weekend so fun!

It seems like this property is in a building that is managed by someone other than this host because the unit itself is immaculate and very charming; however, the outside door is completely covered in mold and the inside hallways to other units are in serious need of some fresh paint and also smell of mold. Other than that, we would definitely book this again! You can walk anywhere you need to and parking was a breeze.

Sad to say

Where to start?!? Old food was found in refrigerator. Cheap coffee maker leaked water all over the counter and wouldn't make coffee, merely hot water. Also, it had mold in it. Bathroom is extremely tiny. I am disabled: we requested ADA accessible on VRBO and were not informed that this unit is on the second floor and only accessible via outdoor stairs.

A true gem! The apt. was very, very clean, modern and artistic. It reminded us of a compact Swedish apartment in Stockholm. An excellent stay for us and our grandson.
