Inside was as described. The outside needs attention. I was very skeptical when we pulled up to the property. We had to call the owner from the airport because we did not receive entry information or WiFi information prior to our arrival. My husband had to clean the dust off of the downstairs bathroom fan, the sofa was broken, and the kitchen could use updated.
Exactly how described online, very clean.There are stairs down to the bedrooms.In case you can't do stairs. Nice fireplace and tv, wifi was fast. There was coffee seasonings for cooking area was really nice and close to grocery stores.Harley's old time cafe right around the corner is a really good place to eat. The little dipper cafe was awesome, 49 state brewery, amazing food.and snow city cafe was amazing.
Pros: the place was clean and had great space for 2 couples. Very nice outdoor deck.Cons: Poor communication, neighborhood was ?, both thermostats had no batteries. When asked about fans or A/C was told there was a fan in one of the bedrooms (it was a mini-fan for a desk). We did not feel safe enough to keep the windows open, so it go very hot. Wifi info was not provided until I asked twice after 5 hours.
Upgrades are impressive but didn't make up for the disappointing experience. BRs are downstairs where its smells like mildew and you can see water damage in the master closet. Thermostat needed batteries so we couldn't turn down the heat. Couch looks impressive but is broken and uncomfortable Very few amenities
This was a wonderful retreat during our Alaska stay. After a couple days of sight saying it was a real respite. We cooked in the apartment and chilled a couple evenings. Check-in and check out couldn't be easier.
Perfect stay for a family. I would like to note that there are stairs to get in and then stairs back down to the bedrooms which is fine if stairs are not a problem for anyone.
Lovely and very comfortable stay. Lots of ameneties. Really appreciated the fireplace and tub. Bed was extremely comfortable and bedrooms were quiet and dark. Close to lots of great places to eat and very convenient.
Everything as described. Great place, great neighborhood. The only downfall was that the downstairs which is the sleeping quarters was SO cold. And they only had a quilt or thin blanket on each bed. It was so hard to sleep, even for my husband who loves a cool room. I reached out and asked if they had more blankets and they never would respond. I also reached out about leaving instructions, and they wouldnât respond. So we just did our best to leave it as we would any other stay. Host communication was horrible, and left my kiddos and I very cold. We just all snuggled up and tried to stay warm.
Inside of property is very nice and the host was very responsive when we had an issue with the lock. The outside of the house and the neighborhood gave me some pause but we had a nice stay.
Itâs in poor repair on the outside, yard not trimmed neatly. Neighborhood questionable. I called the police department to inquire about safety in the area.
Inside had been updated but cleaning crew needs to do a better job and the host needs to restock toiletries.
Would not recommend.
Stayed here a month & hated to leave. Nice big kitchen. Love the family room. The master bedroom is really nice. Huge walk-in closet & a comfortable king bed. I would stay there again.
The inside of the property is amazing. Very comfortable. Host is great as well, but tends to communicate through the VRBO app so best to have that. The grill(s) were not functioning and I believe there is a misunderstanding on what a hot tub is. There certainly is no hot tub/spa. There is a tub. External is less attractive. I will say at this price point it is far above others. Some supplies such as soap, shampoo, and food condiments were lacking. Would likely be better as the travel season continues, we left some. Linens and such were nice, no top sheet on the beds. Overall I would recommend to others looking for a great stay at a great rate!
We traveled to Anchorage on Monday from Fairbanks. I emailed asking for the location and entry information before Monday. I did not get an answer, an email on the day I travel was not useful, there is no email or text service along the road between Fairbanks and Anchorage. Once in Anchorage contacting Vrbo and the host proved unnecessarily difficult. at 9:30 PM.
I'm not inclined to recommend Vrbo or use you again. The inside of the rental was nice, the outside is old and tired and in need of updating.
The property manager communicated so well. They got in touch with me anytime I had an issue quickly. Location is great. Close to shopping and just about everything. About 20-30 drive to the airport. I did have to buy garbage bags and dish tabs for the dishwasher, but other than that it was a really nice stay and I would recommend this to anybody coming for a short stay in Anchorage.
This unit was immaculately clean, had great amenities. Very spacious and just an enjoyable place to stay. The owner was incredibly responsive and nice to deal with. Hope to stay here again on our annual Alaska trip.
