Walk to Town & Coast: Anchorage Condo w/ Fireplace

This place can be used like home. Therefore, we have to clean every day and take care of the clutter and discomfort ourselves.

1st time in a vrbo, beds were good, all rooms should have a tv for better sleep experience also as most have tv in bedroom at home, needs blackout shades for sure, Shower head needs to be higher, I don’t take long shower and ran into cold water daily. It was clean and most of all good. Remove the period at end of wi-fi password because it’s not used and can be confusing.

The stay and experience were delightful. All directions were clear, easy to follow, and reasonable. If I make it back to Anchorage, I will definitely look for this booking again.

This was booked for Board Members to travel up for strategic planning sessions and the location worked out very well. Nice and clean, easy to get into and there was a request to check-in early and the host communocated timely and was accommodating! Very nice experience.

This is a home with a lot of positives but some major drawbacks. First the good: the layout is exactly as expected per the listing. The kitchen is roomy and clean with plenty of coffee and tea plus some snacks. The living room is reasonably comfortable but the tv is extremely difficult to figure out. An instruction sheet is very much needed. The bathroom is clean and the washer and dryer work well, plus detergent and a number of toiletries are in the drawers. Now for the negatives: this place is NOISY!! It is on the ground floor with another apartment above and believe me when I say you can hear every step as if an elephant were stomping overhead. Even the water being run in this unit’s bathroom sounds like it is right in the main bedroom. Very poor soundproofing in the construction. Finally, we had a mouse as a guest on the first night. Fortunately my husband was smart enough not to tell me about it till later in the trip. And the floors were not that clean. The neighborhood is conveniently located to the beginning of town or the tiny Knowles trail, as long as you can walk (there is an uphill to navigate) or have a car.

I feel quite fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem…I know the area well, and this place was a needle in a haystack…I will return and stay here for non winter travel to the area….(there are outdoor stairs to get up to the unit, this could be a challenge for anyone elderly or with heavy luggage during snow months)I read some complaints about a funny smell…I also experienced this when I first arrived…that smell was distinctly bleach from cleaning…simple fix…I opened the windows to eliminate the fumes (for a future booking I will request the cleaner use a lemon scented or diluted bleach prior to my arrival) The unit itself is sizable and has everything you need …it was like showing up to my home…all I needed was my clothes! I was even pleasantly surprised with coffee and snacks…contact was available when I called with a question. If you like quaint and creative settings, this is your place…its next to foliage which also is nice. Honestly, I’d like to keep this place a secret…but thought I’d repay the favor for someone looking for a great place to stay close to downtown…Bootleggers Cove is the best location!!

It was hard to adjust to 23 hours of daylight. Blackout curtains would have helped a lot. Other than that, it was fine.

This was a nice place in a great location!

I already reviewed this stay, but neglected to mention that there was not cable tv available, and needed passwords for Netflix, etc, so I was not able to use the tv at all.

Had everything we needed to enjoy anchorage for a few night's before heading to katmai for the summer! Will book again.

We were looking for a comfortable, low priced, local property for our summer getaway. We were very happy with our stay. It was not some top of the line 5 star resort but it was exactly what we needed and was advertised as such. The weather unfortunately didn’t cooperate but we still enjoyed ourselves. We appreciate the owners for allowing us to stay. Thank you
