Pros and Cons
Pros: (1) the binder was full of information, made it easy to get things like WiFi, restaurant ideas, etc
(2) kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials / basics, and so was cleaning cabinet and washing machine room
(3) game room, kids enjoyed the plethora of option
(4) vintage record player a neat addition
Cons
(1) if you come in the summer beware! There is no air conditioning, but that’s normal for Fairbanks, what isn’t normal is that ONLY ONE window in all the rooms had a screen on it, all the others well you could open them but nobody wants to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. So it was impossible to sleep, either sleep in sauna like conditions or get eaten alive by mosquitoes .. needless to say it was awful and the host should have warned customers like us so we could have booked another place
(2) when we first walked in, the place seemed clean,..but not at all. Within ten minutes of walking around the home my white socks were almost black. The worst thing about it was the washer and dryer. I doubt either had been cleaned in years. The dryer’s lint /vent was the most disgusting I have ever seen in my life. Baked in dirt, mud, mildew, little stones everywhere/ I spent an hour cleaning this before we could use it.
(3). Probably the nastiest thing about our stay was the water. Yellow, sulphur smelling water in the toilet m, shower, sink, etc. Ewww. It was so nasty we ended up going to UofA to shower there
