Overall it was a nice stay. The jacuzzi tub shower combination was nice but we are 80 years old and having no handgrips was a bit of a challenge. It in a nice quiet neighborhood and generally clean.

Cozy, quiet, and perfect location

The property was extremely clean and quiet; the large TVs in each room were a huge bonus, and the mattress in the main room was amazing. The location is the perfect distance from Anchorage proper to not feel crowded in a city, but close enough that the drive time isn't much of a worry.

It was overall great. Good location for us to visit family and close to Anchorage. It was clean and spacious.The only thing I disliked was no outside lighting, as we arrived after dark and couldn't see the house numbers. There were nonworking outside lights. The entry sidewalk had a step that you couldn't see in the dark. It would have been a perfect rental except for the outside lighting.

Place was good. The host said we were welcomed to have coffee, cereal, and pankcake mix. All of those items were expired over 3 months to 3 YEARS!!! The beds were beyond soft. Shower was awesome. Firepit area was suitable. Location was alright.

The location is excellent: close enough to downtown Anchorage but far enough away to be on the edge between suburban and rural. The bedrooms are small, but the large beds are more appreciated than more floor space would be! The kitchen, dining area, and living room are well-apportioned and comfortable. Shauna and Kirk were very accommodating and responsive to messages.

Description stated whole house, but upon arrival learned it was only basement which was ok. Unfortunately, owners were upstairs and after working long days, there were a few nights where there were disturbing outbursts from above and I got very little sleep.

The property was nice & very supplied. My only issue is this is not as advertised. Advertised as an entire house with bedrooms on lower level. Thats one of the main reasons we booked it. One of our guests has bad knees & struggles with stairs. The reality is this is a house that has been turned into multiple apartments. The apartments are nice, but by lower level, this meant basement level, which meant stairs. I would have rated this 5 stars had I known this was an entire apartment that required stairs for access- but then again, I would not have booked it. We ended up staying elsewhere half of our trip. Again, the apartment was nice, beds were comfy, instructions were clear, supplies were provided- property just not a complete house & required stairs
