Exploring Anchorage
We dropped our son off at the University. Location was close to the University and was a great base for exploring the city and surrounding areas. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication was quick and the host was helpful. Looking forward to returning.

Denice, our host, made are experience easy in terms of checking in and out. She was very receptive to our needs and was always available.
