Stay was very good. It had everything we needed and was close to most places we went. Having laundry in room was great. The only negative was the bed was much harder than we prefer.
Had a great stay in this suite. Everything was super clean, and the washer /dryer were really appreciated. Our suite was 'C' and parking was off the alley in the back and close to the door.
Had a great stay here! The studio was clean, quiet, and welcoming, and the neighborhood was very quiet and safe.
It was also very close to downtown Anchorage and was an excellent alternative to a pricey hotel room. The washer and dryer in the unit were an added bonus!
Would definitely stay here again!
Fabulous location and can walk Downtown in less than 20 minutes along safe sidewalk. Super comfortable bed, one queen. Great shower and lots of spare condiments in kitchen. Overall excellent for reasonable.price.
Warm and wonderful welcome to Anchorage! After a late night arrival, the space was quiet, clean and spacious for the two of us. Host provided us clear instructions and there’s even oodles of helpful travel guides available to make us feel like we are guests in someone’s home who truly cares. Thank you! Perfect way to start Day 1 of our first time visiting!
We really enjoyed staying here. We stayed 4 days total, it was like having a home base for exploring Alaska. The washer and dryer were so convenient. If I owned a VRBO rental I would model it after this top notch studio,
The property was perfect for the two of us. Everything we needed was there for us. It was cozy and comfortable. It was even dark at night with the curtains closed.Our host answered any questions we had and was very helpful.

This property is a semi-underground studio with nice interior. It took us some time to find the front door as it doesn't face the driving way. We had a great night there.
Sandra’s studio apartment was exactly what we were looking for for our two-night stay in Anchorage. Great location, relaxed feeling in a nice neighborhood, and close to downtown (you save on Ubers). MUCH better value than a downtown hotel. Also, Sandra gave a perfect recommendation for a nice dinner out at a fantastic local spot. Would definitely stay there again.
This was a perfect place for me to stay. The apt looked just like the pictures. It was clean. It had everything I needed except for a small bar of soap. In addition to a generous supply of coffee and tea there were lots of condiments and such. It was a very short drive to downtown. It was also a very short walk to a small park overlooking the water where they say you can see Mt Denali on a clear day. I would stay again especially for the excellent price.
A cute little place with dated character and comfy amenities. The unit is older but that comes with Alaska. The updates are nice with a comfy bed, new carpet and new flooring which gives the unit a nice character when paired with the older cabinets. We found the bed super comfortable as it is a little more on the firm side. Water pressure in the shower was great and water gets hot. I can’t say I heard a peep from another person even though the unit is attached to the host’s home.Overall great stay.Overall great stay, especially when places are hard to come by in Alaska.
