A great stay. Stephanie was a great host and so incredibly responsive to questions, and even when we had to reschedule, which she made seamless. If we ever come back to Anchorage, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We truly enjoyed having you as a guest! Thank you for the kind review and please come see us again one day.
The host, Stephanie, was responsive and helpful. We could not ask for more from her. The property was also very clean and in a great neighborhood/location.The unit has its own entrance but is part of a larger house and we did not have control of the temperature and it was cold in the unit. They do have a portable heater which was helpful. We also shared laundry with the other renters/residents, which we were not expecting with a VRBO. We were not at the property much as we were out and about so it worked just fine! We would rent again.

Thank you for leaving a review, it was helpful to hear. I wish we had known about the heat issue upon your check-in so we could have made your stay even better. You are welcome back anytime- it will allow us the opportunity to hit it out of the ballpark for you!
Great place to stay, close to parks, railroad and airport. Everything was as advertised, lots and lots of soft towels to use, most we’ve ever seen at a Vrbo !! Would stay here again…

Hi Todd! I'm so happy you enjoyed your time at the property. You were a great guest- you're welcome any time and we hope you will visit us again in the near future. -Stephanie
We stayed here for 3 nights before we went on a cruise. Perfect base camp for day trips to Denali and Seward. Close to downtown. It has everything you need.
Very clean rooms in quiet neighborhood, private entrance. Free laundry, super clean, fully functional kitchen, walk to downtown and restaurants/attractions. Stephanie our host went above and beyond and was super communicative.

Stephanie is an incredibly warm, welcoming host with great suggestions on local restaurants and places to visit. The house is super cute, well kept, and close to downtown Anchorage. We spent a week here and were sad to leave.

Thank you, Carly! It's not often we meet guests but I really enjoyed meeting you both, you were wonderful guests and I hope you will visit us again one day.
Our stay was nice. The unit was our walking distance to downtown and all the nice restaurants downtown. The unit is in a quiet part of town. Also, close to the coastal trail.

Thank you for the great review and staying with us, David! We hope you'll visit again soon.
We had the best stay here! It was a great location— walking distance to a lot of great spots in Anchorage (including a super cute coffee shop), and a great home base for trips to Seward and Girdwood. The host was incredibly communicative and accommodating, and the condo is updated and had everything we needed-
Including laundry!

Great to hear you loved the unit and neighborhood, that makes us happy. Not so great you had difficulty with the exterior stairs. We do mention the stairs in our property description. If you get the chance to visit us again, we will see if the upstairs unit is available for you. Take good care!
-Stephanie
Quite neighborhood. Plenty of free street parking. Perfect one bedroom apartment. All the amenities of home. Great Wi-Fi connection. Centrally located with easy driving distance to shopping and great restaurants. Fantastic host! Would stay here again.

Thank you for the wonderful review, we greatly appreciate it and hope you will visit us again soon. -Stephanie
Perfect size for a couple. Very clean. We had a problem with the smoke alarm going off when we cooked bacon, but there was a screen so we could open the door. I would definitely book this property again.

We look forward to having you stay with us again one day, Lynn. Bacon can do that at times- I hope you were able to salvage it and enjoy your breakfast anyway! Until next time!
This little cottage was perfect for us. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and close to downtown Anchorage. It was easy to get to anywhere we needed to be. Our host was very easy to work with and was very accomodating to our needs. Thank you Stephanie
