I'd love to give this place a five-star review since the house layout and amenities were top notch. The house was as described. Pros - two spacious bedrooms (one queen, one king), plus the extra kids cubby. Easy to find, easy access, great laundry facility, dual coffee maker, nice fridge and gas stove. Cons - very little in kitchen in the way of full size pans to cook a meal. A few spices and olive oil, and random dry goods, but no condiments or staples. No big deal as groceries & Walmart are nearby.
The neighborhood seems a bit rundown, but not unsafe. We didn't use the hot tub as there was no privacy from view of neighboring houses. The downstairs neighbors were friendly. Not sure if something was going on the days we were there, but they opened the garage door at 3am and noisily banged connecting doors and talked. If you're a light sleeper, I would look for a house where you're renting the whole thing, not just one floor, as in this instance. (Yes, this was clearly disclosed in the property description.)
Katie was an excellent host and was able to assist me when I could not locate the access code for the door. She resent all the relevant details to my cell phone and gave me quick tips on what to do and not do. She was awesome! I'm sure if we had been there longer and I had notified her of the noise issue, she would have helped come to a resolution.
We loved Anchorage! Take a drive down Turnagain Arm to Portage to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
