The layout of the apartment was excellent, it enabled my husband and I to work east coast hours without interrupting each other. We loved having the laundry and the grill for our nightly cookouts. We were able to access lots of hiking trails around the Anchorage/Eagle River area during the week. The area has lots of wildlife and in September the colors were just beautiful! The owners were excellent, we loved having the opportunity to visit with the dogs. We were able to access alot of Alaska from this home, Denali - Fairbanks, Seward, Whitier, Homer, Juneau, Katmai, etc.
