Quick Getaway
My stay was excellent,my accommodations were very clean, the area was close to what I needed for my stay. What I like the best is the bed was very comfortable. The owner was very helpful in anything that I needed. I would definitely rent this place out again for a future stay and also recommend this to any of my friends that will be in this area as well.

Great stay close to Alyeska
We stayed for a couple nights while we skied in Alteska, lots of great restaurants and good recommendations. Roughly 1/2 hour to Alyeska stop if you're skiing this is a good place to stay.

Great stay!
Perfect location in a quiet neighborhood but also close to the highway and south Anchorage shops. Super easy check-in and check-out. Very clean and an incredibly comfortable bed. Floor was a little squeaky upstairs, which caused me to wake up a couple times in the night but overall, a very pleasant stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Home away from home
I got a job in Anchorage as a nurse but had to wait on a permanent place to be available from December thru February (two long months). During those months, I stayed at what I unofficially dubbed "Aunt Alison's" as much as I could ( based on her availability) for multiple stays. Her place was like staying over at a favorite aunt's house with the nick knacks and homey feeling. The place was always clean and she'd leave out candy and snacks. She thinks of everything as her attention to detail was immaculate. Some examples are having several kinds of pillows so no matter what kind of pillow you like there will be one for you, Dog bowls..for your small or large dog, and my husband's favorite candies she noticed were always gone by the end of our trip, would be filled by our return. We forgot some things and she would always save them for our eventual return. She helped us by storing tires we couldn't fit on the car ride home one trip. Quick to respond and happy to help she asks only for respect of her place which my family gladly gave in return. A few times I had to stay at a hotel when she was booked and boy could you tell a difference in the hotel's lack of hospitality and charm.We always would breathe easy returning to her place in a safer environment and neighborhood. Oh, and Sonic is nearby! My family will be forever grateful for her hospitality in our time of transition. This place is a gem!

Cute little spot
Let me start off by saying it was a fabulous little spot. With a wonderful sunset view spot just across the road. Very clean with wonderful amenities. Easy close parking, easy entry and very safe feeling. The only minor complaint I have is the large dog barking. Being an animal lover myself, the dog's bark was resonating throughout. And quite distracting as was random. Thankfully, it did not go late into the evening, but you could hear everything in the house above and next to you.

This is our second time in the last two weeks and it felt like we were coming home. She has thought of every need. We hope to be able to plan ahead enough to use this VRBO in the future but she books quickly.
