Excellent location for sunset watching. It is an easy walk to some of Anchorage’s best dining. Bedding was comfortable, and Tony is a great communicator. We would stay there again.

Excellent location, right off the trail, great for biking/running/walking. Loved having a patio with a view. Breakfast & coffee shop a block away. The Sandwich Deck was delicious and low key; the halibut and salmon burgers were phenomenal. Simon's is right there also, if you are looking for something Fancy Shmancy. 49th State Brewery - get the crab grilled cheese. Lots of shops to walk to, no more than 15 mins away. There is a Krueg, no coffee pot. Black out curtains in every room. *The management company doesn't send the check-in instructions in the app, only over email a few days prior, so be sure to extract those items in advance.

There were only 2 spoons and 2 cups. Location was excellent. Room was very hot in afternoon and evening due to the sun. Suggest you buy a few floor fans. Bed a little hard. Would have appreciated a text the day before checkout about taking the trash out. We had a very early morning flight.

Early October Stay

This was a lovely place to stay, great location so close to town and the coastal trail. It was quiet and peaceful. I also loved all the windows and natural lighting, as well as the many comfortable places to sit around the apartment.

This apartment has a great view of the Cook Inlet, is across a quiet street from the coastal trail, and is within easy walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. It has space to relax, both inside and outside on a deck. We enjoyed our stay!

Pre-cruise stay

My travel party needed a place to stay before we started a cruise and this location was great. Pretty much right down town. Has a good view too! Quite space, clean, and all you may need to for a "home away from home" kind of stay.

Great location!

From the moment we walked in we knew we had made the right decision. The accommodations were comfortable, homey and all in a walkable location. We could walk to dinner or take a brisk stroll along the Tony Knowles trail. We would definitely recommend this rental!

Location perfection

We loved this rental as our home base for our ~week visiting AK for Rondy and Iditarod activities. Fabulous view, warm and cozy in the winter, and so easy to walk up to downtown for dining and festivities without worrying about parking. And free laundry was amazing after a day at Alyeska! I grew up in Anchorage and am looking forward to staying here again in the summertime.

The property was close to downtown restaurants, shopping, bike rentals and walking/bike path. The location is convenient for day trips to many attractions in and around Anchorage. The deck was an enjoyable place to sit and relax. The owner was veryresponsive when an appliance went out.

Coastal View Apartment

This was the second time I have at this property. It is the perfect location for shopping and dining. Fur Rondy and Iditarod festivities are within walking distance. The site has beautiful views of the Cook Inlet and Mt. Susitna with spectacular sunsets. I’ve stayed in 2 different apartments on this property and both were clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies and toiletries. If I come back up for Iditarod, I will definitely stay here again.

Alaska vacation

My wife and I stayed over in Anchorage for a few days after a cruise. This was the perfect place. Great view of the Cook Inlet from the deck. The restaurants, shops and sights of downtown Anchorage are easy walking distance. The coastal trail and a nice park are literally steps from the front door, and the location is very central for exploring outside of Anchorage.The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Tony the owner gave us some good references for places to eat, and sights to take in for our short stay. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful sunny property set off to the side of DT Anchorage. The property owner contacted me personally regarding snow removal, and the property manager was super friendly and helpful. The apartment had everything I needed plus. Although I was just 1 person, it can easily accommodate 6. Right off the Coastal Trail. Parking available, easy walk to many great DT restaurants. Clean, well stocked, quiet, and safe. A little pricey but it was basically an entire house I was renting.
