Great place to stay, close to parks, railroad and airport. Everything was as advertised, lots and lots of soft towels to use, most we’ve ever seen at a Vrbo !! Would stay here again…

Hi Barbara, what a thoughtful review, thank you for taking the time to leave one. I'm so happy you chose to stay with us, we hope you will visit us again one day soon. -Stephanie
We stayed here for 3 nights before we went on a cruise. Perfect base camp for day trips to Denali and Seward. Close to downtown. It has everything you need.
Stephanie is an incredibly warm, welcoming host with great suggestions on local restaurants and places to visit. The house is super cute, well kept, and close to downtown Anchorage. We spent a week here and were sad to leave.

Thank you, Carly! It's not often we meet guests but I really enjoyed meeting you both, you were wonderful guests and I hope you will visit us again one day.
Our stay was nice. The unit was our walking distance to downtown and all the nice restaurants downtown. The unit is in a quiet part of town. Also, close to the coastal trail.

Thank you for the great review and staying with us, David! We hope you'll visit again soon.
We had the best stay here! It was a great location— walking distance to a lot of great spots in Anchorage (including a super cute coffee shop), and a great home base for trips to Seward and Girdwood. The host was incredibly communicative and accommodating, and the condo is updated and had everything we needed-
Including laundry!

Great to hear you loved the unit and neighborhood, that makes us happy. Not so great you had difficulty with the exterior stairs. We do mention the stairs in our property description. If you get the chance to visit us again, we will see if the upstairs unit is available for you. Take good care!
-Stephanie
Quite neighborhood. Plenty of free street parking. Perfect one bedroom apartment. All the amenities of home. Great Wi-Fi connection. Centrally located with easy driving distance to shopping and great restaurants. Fantastic host! Would stay here again.

Perfect size for a couple. Very clean. We had a problem with the smoke alarm going off when we cooked bacon, but there was a screen so we could open the door. I would definitely book this property again.

We look forward to having you stay with us again one day, Lynn. Bacon can do that at times- I hope you were able to salvage it and enjoy your breakfast anyway! Until next time!
This little cottage was perfect for us. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and close to downtown Anchorage. It was easy to get to anywhere we needed to be. Our host was very easy to work with and was very accomodating to our needs. Thank you Stephanie

Hello Edwina, Thank you for staying with us! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the neighborhood. It was a joy communicating with you. Take care. -Stephanie
Very nice, clean, comfortable and updated unit. A few things would make the stay more accommodating, such as kitchen staples, salt and pepper, cooking oil, microwave safe dishes. It would also be nice to have an iron.
First time to Anchorage, Alaska and wasn’t sure where to stay. This unit was the perfect pick. Very centralized location. Stephanie was very responsive before arriving and while in Anchorage. Will be coming back soon and will be staying here. 😄

Thank you so much for the great review, Alice! I'm happy you had an enjoyable stay, and I'm excited that you will stay with us again!
This property was PERFECT for us. Located close to downtown (next to a park and walking trail), nice size and VERY clean. Everything you need. The bed was like a dream -- and I don't say that lightly -- such a comfortable mattress. Stephanie was awesome, even when called at 1:30pm when our flight came in and the Vrbo app wasn't working so we couldn't get the code to get in! Before our stay she provided us with lots of recommendations when asked and was super responsive. Snap this one up if you get the chance!

Hi Julie! What a great review, thank you very much. We are delighted you chose to stay with us and you enjoyed your stay so much!
There are some places as we walked through Anchorage that made us feel uneasy due to homeless population and sketchy looking area but this neighborhood was not a part of that. We felt safe. The rental was very comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed (bring salt and pepper). We enjoyed our stay. Check in was easy. We have a large truck, a Chevy silverado 2500 work truck and was able to park out front with no issues. The host is excellent. I did have to contact her during the stay was answered back within minutes. Great communication! It was also nice to have a washer and dryer. Do not hesitate to stay here while in Anchorage.

It was great having you, Barbara! I'm glad you enjoyed the location and had a pleasant experience staying with us. We have now added some condiments per your suggestion- thank you for that! We hope you will visit again one day.
First and foremost the communication with this owner is outstanding. It is such a good feeling to know someone is actually paying attention to their property and not just renting a house to collect a check. The central location of this property is a huge plus. It's also in a very nice, very quiet neighborhood. Street parking was not an issue at all. The amenities were super nice. Basically a full kitchen, with all the cooking and dining equipment that you could think of. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and stocked with plenty of towels. A washer and dryer was also very nice to have as we were actually on a multiple stay trip. This place is perfect for two. We were visiting multiple friends in Anchorage and this location could not have been better for what we needed. We were very pleased with literally every aspect of our stay.
