Great Place Overall

This home is comfortable and affordable. The owner responded very quickly to a couple of questions/concerns. It was a great location for us visiting with family and doing a little sight-seeing. The whole place was clean overall, but the main bathroom could use a full deep cleaning.

better than a bachelor's pad

It is centrally located, nice decor and furnishings, old kitchen cookware, needs attention to cleaning details(mildew on shower curtain, carpet leaving dirt on socks, dust on walls and fixtures).

Very enjoyable stay

Great place to stay at an affordable price. The host was very helpful and left us ideas for eating places. Clean space, every needful thing provided (and then some). Quiet, pleasant neighborhood, not far from airport and good shopping facilities. Some travel guide/tourist books right in the apartment. Good internet. Only thing we had some trouble with was the front sidewalk, which needs some repairs. (Probably wouldn't have been a problem except that we had some mobility problems.) Certainly would recommend staying there and would stay again if we ever have the opportunity to go back to Alaska.
