We loved our stay, even though it was fast and only one night. Super convenient to the airport. We’d certainly stay again and it’s easy to recommend to others!
The host was very responsive & helpful, and the property is conveniently located in a nice neighborhood. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay! It was very clean & comfortable! I will happily stay again anytime I am in Anchorage.
Property was updated and well kept. Convenient to the airport but no airport noise. This is the second year we've stayed here. Plan on staying here again next year.
The property was exactly what we needed. Close to the airport, clean, large rooms, and very responsive hosts. I will definitely return when I’m in Anchorage again!
Great place to stay. Very clean and nicely maintained. Primary bathroom is amazing!! Host was very good in communication with me, making sure we had all we needed. Would stay there again!!
We had a very comfortable stay in this newly renovated three bedroom. It was clean, cozy, and very comfortably would accommodate two couples and an handful of kids. Its finishes are modern and the open kitchen, dining and living room are great for cooking and visiting with friends and family. It’s centrally located and in a very safe neighborhood. The host was super responsive via text or cell. I will be recommending this stay to my friends and family traveling and/or passing through Anchorage.
Only one working smoke detector. Kitchen well equipped. Nice bathrooms. Mattresses are terrible. No blinds or curtains in living/dining/kitchen. Neighbors and street close by.
Wonderful place! Lots of nice amenities, and pretty clean. Quiet but central location. Had lots of fun! Kitchen is fantastic and Jordan was very helpful and responsive.
Trouble with door locks. Toilet flushing has issues. In my opinion the place needs a good deep cleaning. Owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. 2 of the bedrooms need some type of dresser drawers. No place to put anything. Kept most of my clothes in my suitcase.
