I was pleasantly impressed. It didn't look like a lot from the outside. Never judge a book by its cover!

Work trip to Anchorage
Everything is just as amazing as it looks online! This unit is absolutely adorable, cozy, and impeccably maintained. Ross, the host, is truly fantastic—he's always on top of everything and responds to messages in a flash! You’ll love the convenience of the location; it’s just 13 minutes from the airport, and GPS gets you right there. Check-in was a breeze with the easy keypad lock, making everything stress-free. Plus, it’s only blocks away from downtown, with Walmart just a quick 2-minute drive. And don't miss out on the charming little breakfast shack right around the corner—it serves the BEST breakfast burritos! I've decided to extend my stay with Ross for the entire duration of my contract!

Good value
The property was close to many amenities(good restaurants, coffee shop) a short walk away but the property itself was in a fairly run down part of town. I think a new coat of paint and some deep cleaning on the heating unit would really freshen the place up. There was a nice supply of kitchen essentials and the best quality paper towel and toilet paper. It was a very good price for what it was but we didn't love it.
The little cottage was comfortably set up.
But the area in which we were in was a bit sketchy. My husband went out a couple times, to check on walking travelers, trying to get in fence.

All that you need, and pretty close to everything.
All good from the day we booked until the time we checked out.
The hosts are pretty through with the details and quick to answer questions.
The property itself is well located and easy to find. The cozy little cottage is 5min drive away from lretty much everything in the city.
When we got there, we found a welcome booklet with the history of the property and plenty of tips on what to see and where to go. The inside was nearly clean and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.
I'd definitely stay there again.
The layout of the unit was good. We enjoyed having a gas stove and the bed was comfortable. The couch wasn't as easy to navigate, but it was okay. We did appreciate having an ottoman and end tables. I would have liked some grab bars in the shower, which is also quite small. However, the water pressure was excellent. We didn't have any place to hang up coats. A coat tree or a hook on the back of the door could solve this. Eating in was a challenge since there is no table and only one chair for the work station, which we used as a table for eating. Initial communication was spotty, but once that was resolved, the host was quite helpful. I am sure this place is much nicer in the summer when the parking lots isn't full of ice and snow.
