This is a home that was built around the 1940's so you are getting character more than the most modern home. We stayed here for our last night of our Alaskan vacation. It is close to downtown and to the airport. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. At first, I was a little nervous about not having A/C in the middle of July. However, I didn't have anything to worry about. The owner has fans in the windows and the room got very cool. We all slept well. She definitely has a green thumb and has a beautiful yard and raised beds! To note, she must live in the home when it is not rented out. The fridge/freezer was full of food. She did have two shelves open for availability to us. Since this was a short stay and we had no plans to cook, it was not a problem. For 3 people, it was great. We stayed upstairs in the two bedrooms. There is a basement with three twin beds (if I remember right) and a bathroom. The steps are a little steep going down into the basement but it is an older home. Overall, comfortable stay and just what we needed for our one night.

This place is beautifully equipped, and just the right size. Strolling through the surrounding neighborhood is a joy with easy access to grocery store and coffee shop on foot.

It was fun to be able to walk around a neighborhood rather than be in a hotel.

We loved the location. We easily walked to downtown restaurants and to the Coastal Trail. It was nice to be close to New Sagaya Grocery do we could get food and Kaladi Coffee for breakfast.

Adorable and Conveniently Located in Anchorage
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It is a very well maintained house a short walk to the center of Anchorage including Delaney Park, the Anchorage Museum, biking trails and Visitor Center. The house (really a half-house/duplex) was clean and well appointed. It had plenty of space in addition to the two bedrooms and I appreciated the little extras like the reusable grocery bags and literature of things to do in the area. Bonus is the beautiful garden. This is clearly a well loved property. Veronica was always responsive to any inquiry I had within minutes. I would absolutely stay here again if my travels bring me back to Anchorage. Thank you Veronica for a lovely stay.

Great location - but things to be aware of...
The location is FANTASTIC...you are just a few blocks from downtown - pretty much a 20-minute walk of anywhere you want to go in the city center including the train station!
We do think there's some info that's good to know to decide if this property will be a good fit for you...
If you like renting a place that feels like private rental property or hotel, then this is not the place for you. It appears that the owner lives there regularly...closets full of clothes, family pictures & birthday cards displayed around the house, fridge full of expiring food (milk eggs, etc).
Unfortunately, we found the owner to be intrusive. Several times throughout the stay we received text messages. One time we were told that they needed to come grab some personal items. We did not like this as we had valuables at the rental property.
Another time we got a text stating that it appeared that we weren't spending much time at the property. We found this particularly uneasy, as there is a door alarm with the power source zip tied to the wall that alerts every time the door is opened - This text message made us feel like we were being monitored.
The house is a split property, connected by a shared laundry room in the basement. The door to our side was unlocked and could be easily accessed by the other side's occupants.
The house itself is perfectly fine for a stay and as mentioned before the location is perfect. Every traveler has different comfort levels, so we feel it's good to share this info to help you make a decision that's right for you!

Great location
Veronica was very easy to deal with. Took care of our needs right away. . Her place was immaculate and the back yard gorgeous. Beds were comfortable. The location was perfect for 4th of July festivities. One recommendation would be blackout curtains. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.

Wonderful Experience & Incredible Location
My family and I had a wonderful time staying here! Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we wanted. For 3 adults, the space was perfect size. One of the rooms had light curtains, which made sleeping in the summer a little difficult without an eye mask, but not a major issue at all. We arrived very late at night, and the owners were wonderful and accommodating. Veronica was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come stay here again, and gladly recommend to friends looking for a great place to stay in Anchorage!
