Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I think the property was friendly to pets. It had a lot of room in the front & back yard, along with a lot of space in the living room & kitchen. The bed is big, so your pet could definitely sleep with you on it or they could go into the guest bedroom too. There is a massage chair that was definitely relaxing & the place was clean

There are no opening windows. The bathroom needs a door. A pocket door or barn door could work instead of a curtain. If the couch is to serve as a bed, sheets, a pillow, and extra blankets would be nice. We understand that the property is being worked on, but it was listed as a view property. Location listed had a Wasilla address, but was farther out than anticipated.
