We had a very comfortable stay in this newly renovated three bedroom. It was clean, cozy, and very comfortably would accommodate two couples and an handful of kids. Its finishes are modern and the open kitchen, dining and living room are great for cooking and visiting with friends and family. It’s centrally located and in a very safe neighborhood. The host was super responsive via text or cell. I will be recommending this stay to my friends and family traveling and/or passing through Anchorage.

Trouble with door locks. Toilet flushing has issues. In my opinion the place needs a good deep cleaning. Owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. 2 of the bedrooms need some type of dresser drawers. No place to put anything. Kept most of my clothes in my suitcase.
