The flight surgeon built the house directly next door (and is also available for booking). Eventually, this house was purchased by a Swiss artist who painted fun murals on many of the walls and ceilings, most of which have been carefully maintained over the years. The house is in beautiful condition and extremely unique. Very close to Downtown Anchorage, Universities, the Medical District, and petroleum companies. This house has three bedrooms a master with an ensuite bath, one queen room with full bath in the hall, and one twin + trundle room with an ensuite toilet and shower. There is a sleeper sofa in the TV room next to the twin/trundle room and a high-quality, self-inflating twin mattress as well.

The house is older but nicely remodeled and comfortable. I was a bit worried driving in and seeing all the non-operational vehicles in neighbors yards but the neighborhood was quiet and no parties/yelling accured during our 5-night stay. Kitchen was well stocked, wifi was strong, beds were comfortable, and plenty of towels. Washer and Dryer were old but worked fine. Overall, this rental is worth the cost. ##### House K.
