Our stay was nice. The location was a little too far from the cruise port. With luggage the free shuttle was a little inconvenient. The bed was comfy. It was very quiet, however my wife ran out of hot water and had to take a cold shower, that wasn’t pleasant.

The location of this property is perfect, you are right in the down town area. Everything you could want is within walking distance; dinner, hiking, shopping, etc. I much prefer this area verse staying in the harbor area. It feels as if you are a local in this area as opposed to a tourist. The apartment itself has everything you need and more, not to mention the bed is super comfy and the kitchen is stocking with everything you need to prep a meal or enjoy a cup of coffee. The host Shelly was an amazing communicator. Instructions for check-in and checkout were very clear and easy! Her response times were speedy!

We loved the cozy apartment. It’s located downtown so you can walk most places. We found a spot to park our car out front easily every time. It’s an easy walk to the sea life aquarium and our favorite restaurant, the cookery. It’s just a few minutes drive to the visitors center and cruise port. The apartment was small but efficient. We had everything we needed and I loved the couch which allowed me to read in the morning while my husband slept late. The Kuerig was nice to have. The host was responsive and the check in process was great. I definitely recommend!

We stayed in this cozy apartment for 1 night for a stay after our cruise.
This was perfect for myself and my husband as it was walking distance to town and many restaurants.
The apartment had everything we needed.
The host was super friendly, quick to respond to my questions and very accommodating.,Would definitely stay here again if in The area.

Adorable and functional unit. Top floor, peek-a-boo bay view, surprisingly quiet less some bumps and knocks here and there in the building. The airflow is awesome and we were so thankful for the the black-out curtains! Fast & friendly communication with the host and the location is absolutely unbeatable. I travel to Seward 4-5 times a year and am looking forward to bookmarking this unit to use again. Ten stars out of five.

Loved the history of the building and its location! It was quiet and the tub, bed and pillows were fantastic! Dining chairs and table are high and uncomfortable for casual eating/morning coffee and the coffee pot pictured isn't there, a keurig coffee maker (listed in the description) is there instead. And if you plan on reheating food, bring paper plates as the plates here were not microwave safe.

My husband and I stayed in Seward for 2 nights in our week visit to Alaska. This site was fabulous in location and space. The price was great for our budget and we had the ability to walk everywhere. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay! We met Matt when we arrived and he was so sweet and welcoming! Shelly was wonderful every time we reached out to her for tips! The condo was comfortable, had thoughtful touches and was in the perfect location! I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Loved this retro apartment! It had everything I could possibly need, all set out beautifully. Really appreciated the extra touches that were left and I felt very at home. I spent three nights here, such a great location and a quiet neighbourhood. The bed was soooo comfy and I slept very well.
Shelly was so welcoming and helpful, even before check in. Would definitely stay again if I come back to Seward!!

Its a extremely nice place to stay. The hosts where responsive and helpful. Building is older but you can tell they take pride in it and have/are updating it. Everything was clean. Kitchen has everything you need to make simple meals. Definitely a great little place to stay.

My husband and I decided to stay in Seward for a couple of days after our cruise to just relax.
The unit was just as described, bathroom was fully stocked. Very comfortable bed and plenty of pillows. Location was ideal to walking around the quiet little town.
We used the toaster oven to cook a pizza since we decided to stay in one night.
Only thing I wish unit had was a microwave to pop some pop corn but other than that the unit was perfect.
Hopefully we can come back for a longer stay.

This apartment is really cute and decorated with love. From a guest‘s point of view it would be of advantage to have more space and less decor. Eg in the bathroom and in the kitchen one could use one wall for boards instead of decor. That would make the apartment more flexible for the guests who bring a lot of staff with them. But still this apartment is clean, lovely and cute. We would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our 3 nights at this property. The downtown Seward location was perfect for walking to most restaurants and tours in the immediate area. Overall, a very clean unit in a historic building. Fully remodeled. Communication with the property owner was 100% timely and thorough. We appreciated this as entry to the property would be confusing w/o this communication.

Small spot, but very cute. Had everything we needed. There was even bear spray and bug spray, and we were unable to bring our bear spray on the plane. What forethought!

The apartment is right in town within walkable distance to all shops and restaurants downtown and a short drive to the docks and activities. The hosts were fantastic about sending clear instructions and recommendations in advance like where to eat and what to do!
Clean, with all the basics you need in between enjoying Seward.

This was a great location near downtown area but a mile walk to the small boat harbor. The building was very old (historic) and a bit dilapidated but the interior was just fine and comfortable. Shelley was great to work with.

We loved staying here for our Seward visit. Shelly was super clear about check in and check out— communication was wonderful. She gave us so many helpful suggestions before our trip, which was very helpful. The apartment was so cute and had every that we needed for our stay. The location was perfect— we could walk to most of the restaurants and places we wanted to explore. The bed was super comfortable and cozy. We will definitely stay here again if we get a chance to return.

Convenient location in Seward
We had a nice stay in this rental. Well equipped for our few days on the coast. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was certainly adequate for us to prep for breakfast and lunch. We tended to eat out for supper. Host was super responsive and helpful. Location was great!

Great Stay
While we were only in Seward for one night, we loved this cozy apartment and it looks exactly as described: 50's charm with modern amenities.
The location was fantastic and close to everything downtown.
Communication was easy, would stay again for sure.

Great little spot in Seward!
Family of 4….it was a tight squeeze but Shelley warned me ahead of time. It was fine for us, but all we did was sleep there and we are seasoned travelers. Would be a perfect spot for a couple to stay. Clean, perfect location and great owner. Only drawback is no laundry, but the laundry mat is close by and clean and easy to run over to. Bed was very comfortable! Windows with screens….a must in Alaska to enjoy the cool weather minus the mosquitos! 😂 Would 100% stay again!

Relaxing in Seward
Definitely lived up to the photos & descriptions. Excellent wifi & streaming, loved the sweet memory-foam style mattress & reliably hot shower water, and really enjoyed the bay dawn scene out of the south-facing kitchen windows. The retro 50s-style appliance vibe was classy, and the location excellent for easy strolling about the town.
