This house was truly beautiful. It was comfortable, it was stylish. It was close to town and all the amenities. It actually helped make the trip become even more successful. And our host Alexis was wonderful.
We had a fantastic stay at this South Addition VRBO! The location couldn't have been better—just steps from the Westchester Lagoon and Anchorage's incredible hiking and bike trail system. It was also an easy walk or short drive to downtown, great restaurants, and many of the area's attractions.The home itself was beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of our favorite amenities was the four bicycles in the garage, which were ready to use and made exploring the area even more enjoyable.This property exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely stay here again and, in fact, plan to book it on our next trip to Anchorage. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-equipped home in a perfect location!
