You couldn’t ask for a more central location to downtown Sitka and all the action. Spacious accommodation and comfortable for a family of 4.

We stayed for two nights before heading to our fishing lodge. It was super easy to find and right in the heart of town. We loved the views of the ocean and the mountains. Very well kept and comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.
We were fortunate enough to have some sunshiney days on our visit. Sitka was spectacular and easy to explore on your own, renting a bike to get to hikes… no rental car needed. Quiet apartment except for road noise and easy access to downtown. Highly recommend Back Door Cafe for coffee and homemade bagels and pastries.
Well stocked kitchen, central location to walk from, spacious and furniture comfortable. Will return’

A terrific location. We didn't rent a car and didn't need one. The property is very central. We did a cab from the airport. After being here a while, we discovered that Uber and Lyft serve the community. The unit is on the second floor. The day we arrived it was warm for Sitka, or at least we were told. The temperature was 68 and it didn't cool off that much at night so the second floor unit was a little warm. Fortunately we discovered the fans in the closet and were comfortable for sleeping.
The unit is old school basic and functional. It has a well stocked kitchen and full-size refrigerator-freezer. It is on the second floor of a multi use commercial building with restaurants in the basement. Fortunately, there is a good view and an elevator. The smell of pizza is constant in the hallways, but doesn’t invade the unit. The pizza downstairs is good by the way. The main drawback for us was the lack of HVAC or ventilation. There is one small window in the living room, and a fan in each bedroom, one of which rattles badly. There is baseboard heat in the living room, and one small space heater in the main bedroom. For us, there in middle May, we had the window open even when it was 45 at night, and still had to have the fans to move air to sleep comfortably. In the summer it may be challenging to sleep cool. Other than that, it’s a great place to experience the Sitka village lifestyle.
First time to Alaska and this property was perfect, right in the middle of downtown. It’s within easy walking distance to so much. The views were great from the unit as well & we enjoyed watching the bald eagles that would fly by the windows. Highly recommend!
This was a wonderful apartment for our stay in Sitka. The unit had everything we needed and the hosts were helpful. The location is very central and great for walking to most points of interest in Sitka. The extra bedroom for my kids was great and we would recommend this place to anyone
The stay at Katy and Jack's was awesome. The location was in the middle of town and within walking distance of many restaurants and sights. I will definately stay here again!
It's hard to find a better location to stay in Sitka than this! Incredibly convenient to everything, especially the harbor and restaurants. The inside is simple but sufficient, and the beds were super comfortable. We appreciated the flexibility from the owners.
It's a great location for exploring Sitka. Lovely views and the apartment has everything one needs to be comfortable. Host is very responsive including when I needed an easier way to check in, and explaining parking. Very glad I stayed here!
