Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mary 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This is a wonderful apartment, very clean and convenient. The hosts were happy to accommodate our request for an early check-in. It had everything we needed, including a number of pantry and refrigerator items such as coffee, sugar, spices, mustard and mayo, etc. I found the bed to be comfortable. Sitka is very walkable, and having an elevator to the 2nd floor where the apartment is located was very nice at the end of a long day. There's a coin operated laundromat that is for the apartments and seemed clean and nice. Here were a few "quirks" about the apartment: There is only one large double window in the living room - no others. The bedrooms both have doors that lead to an outside hallway as they don't have windows. The stove is very old and functions, but the indicator dials don't quite work so it's hard to tell if the oven or burners are on. There's no dishwasher so you need to wash dishes, yet the sink stopper doesn't seem to fit the drain so I couldn't figure out how to fill the sink with soap and water - ended up using a large stainless steel pot to wash dishes. The one bathtub is nice but a bit slippery - could maybe use non slip adhesives on the bottom. These are very minor observations, overall the apartment is clean, comfortable, and stocked with lots of books! We were very happy with our stay. ##### Mary Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gordon M. 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed the spot.

Clean, comfortable, everything as described. The owner was super quick to reply to any texts. The only issue is there are doors in both bedrooms that access the outside apartment hallway, and you can hear through them very easily. We were woken up sat night by an altercation down the hallway at another apartment, and can hear people coming and going to their apartments pretty easily. Not a big deal but I am a light sleeper so I was awoken most nights and mornings by noise. ##### Adam K.

Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer P. 12 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Clean, well-furnished, centrally located apartment The apartment worked great for our girl’s trip (4 adults). We were in Sitka for 6 nights, 5 at the VRBO. It was a clean, well-stocked, nicely furnished place. We appreciated the soft bath towels, adequately stocked kitchen (coffee provided!) and ample storage in the bedrooms. Having twin beds in the second room rather than a queen was ideal in that we each had our own bed. The half bath located off of this room provided a good set up for us. Being in the heart of the town made visiting sights, shopping and dining out easy and convenient. We enjoyed the view of St. Michael’s from the living area. Wished we could have seen the mountains, but it was cloudy and/or rainy most of our stay. Even with the rental being located in the city center, we had no issues with noise. Since we didn’t rent a car, we either walked or took a taxi to get around. We rode the public bus (blue line) once. It met our needs but wasn’t the most efficient. However, not dealing with parking was nice. We found the people of Sitka to be very welcoming and friendly. Some of our favorite activities: visiting Fortress of the Bear, taking an ATV tour on Kruzof Island, walking through Sitka National Park (totem poles) and attending the Sitka Fine Art Camp’s production of Mamma Mia. Suggestions for property owners/hosts: Add some hooks and towel racks or shelves in the bathroom, hang a mirror near an outlet as there’s no outlet in the half bath that we could find, if possible upgrade the Wi-Fi as it rarely worked, put in a lock box on the first floor to store an elevator key. It was very off-putting to be accused of “bothering” the consignment store staff to access the elevator, which needs a key for entry, when this was not the case at all. My friends (one in a wheelchair) were waiting in the hallway with our luggage while I determined the layout of the second floor. They were approached by a friendly, helpful consignment store employee who offered us assistance. In the future, please seek to understand the situation prior to blaming your guests. Note to readers: I addressed this directly with Katy and would not have included this in my review if I would have received a response acknowledging a misunderstanding had occurred. This did not happen and I do not want future guests to feel the way I did. I’ve not encountered this type of interaction with prior vacation rental bookings. The good news is it was the complete opposite of our experiences with the residents of Sitka. ##### Jennifer P.

Quite comfortable furniture and a desk so I could work while I was there. Very clean. It is located upstairs in an older office building but perfectly remodeled for our stay. ##### Mike C.

This place was perfect for our fishing trip. Well equipped to cook every night and comfy to lounge at after a long day of fishing. Great location too. ##### Korry B.

I liked the books (although I did not have time to read) the attention to detail with things like q-tips, abundance of pillow made for a comfy nights sleep. ##### Chrystal M.

The place was nice and clean and had a great view of the church. There can be room for improvement (ie rust in the bathtub, and a crack in the window) other small things like that. I would stay there again and would recommend this place as well as the host to anyone going to Sitka. ##### Bronte S.

Very nice place, fantastic location and the host was very flexible with the checkin/out times. The only minor negative in my opinion is the mattress weren't the most comfortable but not terrible. Overall great experience! ##### James R.

We’d stay again. ##### Scott R. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2022 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Ellen 15 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities In short, the value for the money isn't there. The living room is spacious, but the comfort of the furniture is just OK. Two twin beds in one of the bedrooms are below average in comfort. The other beds are more comfortable (7 and 8 out of 10 for comfort) The master bedroom can use more electrical outlets, or better placement of existing outlets. Recharging electronic devices in this room is awkward and somewhat limited. If internet is important to you and you want, or require, wi-fi for your internet connection, choose another apartment in this building. Internet service is NOT available in Room 12\. We had to go into the hallway, 20-25 feet from the door to the apartment to receive internet service. To make matters worse, the owners don't seem to care. After an exchange of two text messages in which I tried to explain the problem and request assistance in solving it, I received the following message: "Stopped by \[not true\]. Internet is working elsewhere. I can't do anything more sorry. Welcome to Sitka." If you wish to do laundry (one of the amenities claimed for this building), bring your own detergent and plenty of quarters. Soap is unavailable, even for purchase, and there is no change machine in the laundry room. ##### Ellen Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ---
