Perfect Business Trip

In town for a conference so we added an extra day on the front end, quick trip! Great launching point to explore Anchorage and beyond. A perfect getaway and excellent alternative to a hotel. Even happened upon a moose just down the street eating a neighbor's bushes! Would love to return.

Beautiful, elevated, relaxing space

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this space, every room was cozy and relaxing. The hosts were responsive and were able to help us out by setting up the extra air mattress before our late arrival. I really appreciated all the help they provided during our stay.

Alaskan Stay

The property was very spacious and clean. The wooded view provided privacy and a relaxing treehouse feel. The parking for the guests were clearly marked to the side of the house’s driveway. The lower unit had a private site entrance with steps down to the door and deck.I dropped jewelry when packing and they found it! It will be mailed as we have already flew home. Thank you for the stay!

Perfect jumping off point

Good two bedroom rental in a location close to Anchorage downtown. Is a lower basement unit so if the upstairs is rented you do tend to hear a bit of noise. Very clean, comfortable, and plenty of space for 4 people. The deck was amazing!

Wide open layout

Nice layout and great for sharing space together. Very well stocked unit, loved the ability to do laundry, even though I didn't use it. Can hear the neighbors upstairs quite easily, that was my only complaint.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a beautiful place, and perfect accommodation for our family, 2 adults and 1 toddler. The unit was spacious, extremely clean, well kept, updated, and comfortable. The deck and the sunroom were a bonus for relaxation. I enjoyed reading through the magazines and books that were available. There were toys for my toddler to play with also. We were all very comfortable in the space. The only reason for 4 stars was that the unit above us was loud. Someone (or maybe a pet or a child) was running a lot and stomping and it was hard to sleep through the disturbance of continuous, loud, heavy, fast footsteps.

Serene and well located

The unit was very clean and extremely relaxing with the park/creek located directly behind it. It offers walking distance to down town and very accessible by Lyft and taxi for longer journeys. The big bathtub was awesome and each of the beds were comfortable and relaxing. We thought that there would be a twin bed in with the king bed based on the ad but that was not the case. It didn’t affect us much but there was only a king and a queen with optional air mattress. Overall we would stay here again!

Great spot with lots of room!

Description is spot on. Very large entire unit on lower level. Lots of outdoor decking that feels like a private retreat and surrounded by trees. Check in was a breeze and the on-site parking was well marked. Located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown. Our group was out and about during our stay however this place would be great for hanging out. Lots of room in the main area for visiting and cooking dinner. Bedrooms very comfortable and spacious. Highly recommend!

Nice apartment

This apartment is very clean and nicely equipped. The only reason we're giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the noise from upstairs was very off-putting and disturbed our stay. It sounded like children running back and forth all day, and we felt like the parents should be aware of those staying underneath. Although we really liked the apartment, we would not stay here again, due to this constant noise, from early morning until late at night.

Good location, well managed

Great location - close to downtown, easy access to highways to go on northern and southern excursions. The unit itself is spacious, has a full, clean kitchen, nice bathrooms, love the reading nook(!), nice deck overlooking the valley trees One thing to consider is that it is a downstairs unit. You need to walk down stairs with your suitcases to access the apartment. You will hear the unit above. We heard walking, TV, and music Management - I do want to compliment the management. We did have an issue and management handled it quickly and professionally. (What the issue was isn’t important because it was handled well.)
