Only stayed two nights but perfect for what we needed. Close to Tony Knowles trail and bike rentals. Walked to multiple fun restaurants. Only negative is communication; was worried about our reservation because didn't really hear about check in until day of, something easy to fix.

Great stay in a historical property

We stayed a couple of nights in Anchorage after a longer tour around Alaska. This spot was a great area to walk to coffee and shops downtown and was amazing to stay in a home with so much history and heritage. Communication with our host was easy!

Great location and comfortable, cute home

The house was conveniently located, cute, and comfortable. However, I asked for the door code ahead of our arrival, explaining that I would not have access to wifi to access the code onVRBO once I left the airport. They refused to give it to me until 4 PM, checkin time, so we had to wait at the airport until 4, to get th3 code. They also did not explain how to use the lock after punching in th3 numbers, so that took awhile to figure out.

Great little antique house in a quiet neighborhood. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, except coffee mugs. They provide a wonderful coffee pot, coffee beans, a grinder, but small tea cups. Please add some coffee mugs. I'd stay there again.

The property met all expectations but communication with the host was lacking. On two occasions i mentioned we had no wi fi and were left driving around the city seeking wi fi just to get the access code. I feel i wasted my whole day waiting to get the access code which was issued 30 minutes before check in.

Great Spot In Downtown Anchorage

We loved his small and cute little cottage in downtown Anchorage. It was very clean and we could tell the owners had taken special care in setting it up. We were able to walk right out the front door to the 4th of July parade in Delaney Park. We would stay here again!
