In town for conference

I had a comfortable, relaxed stay while in town for a conference. Nice, quiet neighborhood and I enjoyed my walk to and from the conference center each day. I cooked for most of my meals and the kitchen had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again if I get another chance to come to Anchorage.

Great location close to downtown

Very nice, clean rental. There is an additional unit downstairs but was very quiet. Liked that we had off street parking and access to a washer and dryer. Is in a little older part of Anchorage but seemed safe, we didn’t have any problems. Would consider renting again.

Great location!

The cottage was in a perfect location to be able to walkabout-even to downtown! We did not rent a car this trip because we visited family and used theirs. We enjoyed walking to the New Sagaya Market for groceries and the Fire Island Bakery for delicious pastry and coffee. Our host Stephanie was very responsive to our needs and available with suggestions for activities. We would definitely stay here again.

Spot on location and amenities

We were very pleased with the neighborhood (felt safe) and its easy access to downtown and the Chester Creek Trail. Everything that we saw online was what we experienced-there were no surprises. Stephanie was a great communicator and provided guidance. As a runner/walker, I really enjoyed the trail system.

Cute space, great location

Clean and well appointed apartment conveniently located to downtown Anchorage. Easy walk to the grocery store for supplies. Walked to downtown for bike rentals on the Coastal Trail, dinners out, and to catch a tour bus to see the glaciers. We were in town for a wedding and most of our group was in the same area of town, which was great. We'll use this place again when we return to see our son next time.

Great Home, Great Location

My wife and I stayed in The Kobuk Aug. 17 - 20, 2024. The home is well appointed with all the amenities needed. The cleanliness was outstanding. The location is in a quiet neighborhood that is easily accessible from anywhere in the city. The host, Stephanie, was very helpful and was accessible via text. Stephanie gave us several great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. We appreciated the local maps and brochures in the home as these also helped us plan our little excursions within Anchorage.
