As described. Could use some updating and better curtains and a covering on the front door. Shared laundry with neighboring unit was unexpected. Just be sure to lock the door to the laundry. Great location, parking. We had trouble getting TVs to connect to WiFi.

No Washer and Dryer as stated. Whole flight of stairs upstairs- no curtain on the door - the bed is slanted and feels off like you’ll slide off the bed on a puffed out sheet and cover. Definitely not worth the price but in an ideal place for anyone who wants to stay downtown

Perfect location

We selected the property because it was close to everything downtown. Kitchen was great and the dishwasher a definite plus. The hairdryer was missing but the property manager promptly got one for us. The bathroom needed a little attention specifically the toilet bowl. It’s also time to replace the shower curtain.

Fantastic location! Quiet street right on small park, bicycle trail, railroad tracks, Ocean view, with mountains in the distance across Cook Inlet. Sunset viewing and easy walk to town. Best breakfast place in town two blocks away at the top of the hill, terrific Mexican food across the street from that. Host Tony was extremely helpful. We would stay here again without hesitation.Anchorage has it all in terms of outdoor activities and this location was perfect to access everything we wanted to do. It was an easy bus ride from the airport and short walk from the bus station. Very helpful bicycle rental only one block away, with advice on choosing the best bicycle routes, of which there are many superior varieties!As we departed, 15 minute walk to Alaska Railroad depot along bicycle path was very easy even with our luggage.

Enjoyed our stay!

Apartment was very clean and sunny, whatever we needed was there. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. As for Evolve, I needed to add another night’s stay and contacted them via access they provide, actually contacted a couple of times, but no response, so I had to made a hotel reservation for that last night. Several weeks later they contacted me, they had been busy, so make sure you don’t have to make adjustments.

Great location and nice place!

It was almost five stars. The pull out ottoman wasn't very comfortable to sleep on for my friend, so this property might be better for 2 people since there is only one bed. The couch and pull out ottoman is fine for some travelers, just make sure if someone sleeps on it they do not have a sensitive back. The location is great and the space was clean. The contact was very responsive. It is very close to a popular coffee shop/restaurant and walkable to downtown anchorage and other walking paths by the ocean.

The stay was very nice and clean. The contact person was easy to get a hold of and was very responsive. The bed was nice. We stayed as a group of 3, but if travelers have a sensitive back the couch/fold out ottoman might not be the best with a group of more than 2. A group of 1-2 would have a better sleep option with the one bed. The area felt safe, and we could walk to a coffee shop and restaurant only 5 minutes away. You can see the ocean from the front of the house and one of the first historical houses built in Anchorage. We would definitely stay again!

Great place to Relax

This was my second time staying at this location, previously I had stayed downstairs in another cozy unit. The location is great, far enough away from people, close to the water, secluded, yet shopping is near enough to be very convenient. The beds are very comfortable, amenities are provided, washer/dryers on both floors. Very clean, friendly owners, cozy and quiet building. I hope to stay again traveling though Anchorage if possible.
