This was literally the best VRBO experience we've had to date (not that they have been bad, but this owner is the gold standard). Communication is stellar in terms of both offering specific and detailed instructions, and prompt response time. Property is in a fantastic location in a safe and quiet neighborhood, and spotlessly clean. Owner was extremely helpful when our flights got totally botched and we appreciated it very much! Will definitely visit 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.

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.

Moose sleeping in the backyard. We had such a wonderful stay. 6 of us were making our fist trip to Alaska and couldn't have had a better time. The home is in a great location, only a quick trip to downtown. The home was just as described and stocked with everything we needed. 2 people in our group have mobility issues so the walk in shower was a life saver. Communication with the owner was great. And as a special bonus on 2 of the nights of our stay we had a moose come a visit.
