This property owner needs to list how many stairs this rental has!
Rented this for a week so my elderly mother and I could be in Ketchikan for the arrival of our granddaughter. The day we got there and found this apartment we discovered this rental had a 100 plus stairs. My elderly mother could not even attempt to get to this apartment. I then requested a refund since we couldn't even get to this place. Ended up getting a hotel room for our stay and haven't heard from owners since the day I requested a refund!!

Thank you for taking the time to review. As listed in the property description, this apartment is located on the 3rd floor of a walk-up triplex. This was also discussed with you at the time of inquiry, as I suggested you assess your stair climbing capability. The cancellation policy is also clearly stated. For the record, there are 88 stairs and the view is worth every single step.

Nice view,good location, good for family of kids
View was great. Lots of stairs, but we knew that. Place had everything we needed. I have rented a lot of places,mostly thru VRBO, and felt like this was overpriced.,plus there was an additional nonRefundable insurance fee that popped up at the end of our transaction that is non - negotiable and not quoted in the price of the rental. There was also a refundable large security deposit in addition. We were there for a swim meet and there were not many hotels available, so I felt lucky to have a place. The owner provided quick responses to questions and the place was clean. Just dated and I felt priced high for the value and time of year,especially when the insurance fee was added.

I'm glad you found everything clean, orderly, and to your satisfaction. I'm sorry you feel the apartment is overpriced, however, as you stated hotel options are limited and expensive. I know this 2 bedroom apartment is very economical considering the location, amenities, and space. The property damage insurance fee is clearly stated during the booking process and certainly is not a hidden fee. I look forward to hosting you again in the future. Thank you for the response.
