Jenny's place was super clean and so comfortable. It felt like home away from home! It had all of the amenities and extra special touches. We appreciated having access to a washing machine and a fully stocked kitchen. My kids loved the little Pac-Man arcade. We appreciated the covered parking since it was raining. Her place is centrally located! Thank you so much!

I loved the homey vibe of the place! The mluntain view was a bonus! Although I didn't get to meet Jenny in person, she was very accommodating and friendly! The neighborhood was very quiet, perfect for people who just want to be away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Great Quiet Location

We picked this VRBO for the location and the previous reviews the host has coffee and many other items in place we did not have any instances of wishing for something. The place was very clean neat and the area was quiet and in a great location to get to the base. Parking was great not having to park on the street was very nice. This is either the best VRBO we have had or tied with it I am recommending to everyone that goes to Anchorage.

We love this VRBO

My husband and I stayed here for a week. The beds are comfortable, with plenty of linen, towels, and washcloths; the couch is comfortable, and it is nice that we can sign in and watch Netflix and other streaming. They did have cable, and it was great to have options to watch TV. They have a Pac-Man game that includes Dig Dug. They have a coffee and waffle bar. They had Kleenex, extra toilet paper, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There is even a carport to keep the snow off your vehicle. We also needed to extend our stay one day, and the owners were able to accommodate us. they have so many small touches, and you can tell the owners absolutely care about the guests. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We did little cooking during our stay, but the kitchen appeared fully stocked, and they did have an electric water pot for tea. This VRBO is one of our favorite VRBOs. We can not say enough great things about this place and the owners are quick to communicate with you.
