Perfect location and size
Great location and size. Very clean. I dropped some of the stars only for lack of sleep due to the bed. This bed is soooo soft and not in a good way. I have stayed at many places and it is alway a medium or higher. So i did not sleep well. I tried the couch but it kinda cheap and part of the from will dig into your back. The kitchen is small and cute. Easy to work way. agoodceay.

Next time we stay we will check for hidden smoke alarms first thing.
The space was limited but we didn't really need anything extra. What was great- The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and there was a pillow made for neck problems. It was a blessing. The tap water was very clean id drink from that tap. There were so many clean towels! Not so great- Sleeping on the couch, It was not comfortable to sit on let alone sleep on. There was a roll of padding we used to make it better. It actually got hot in Juneau and we realized there was no AC but opening the windows and using a fan was good enough. Not all windows had screens. There was not enough storage in the unit. A dresser or built-ins in the closet would be nice. :( While landlords don't control traffic or others outside factors so an annoyance was someone decided they were going to build a road right ouside out rental. It was pretty loud on a Monday morning. Then a smoke detector went off that had been hidden away in a drawer. That was the worst hide and seek ever. The stairs are covered so they stay dry through most of the Juneau rain. Washer & dryer was a bonus. The hot tub was nice but the lid is extra heavy. All in all I'd stay here again. Wish we didnt have to spend 20 minutes locating an unneeded smoke detector but it all went fairly well aside from that.

Bare Bones
This place is bare bones. We enjoyed the walkability to town but that’s it. The bed is extremely soft, temperature is hard to control in the unit. No hairdryer, or ironing board. Missing a lot of things (including dinner plates) that would make for a better stay/kitchen. Pretty neighborhood, nice 15min (1mile) walk to town which we enjoyed.

Functional with some oddities
This is a property management company using VRBO to list their rental, so expect paperwork after you book and lots of automated emails. They have a local contact but it's not like anyone is really personally invested in the property on site. The bed was comfy and the space was functionally clean. There's some really easily fixable stuff that's not quite right. Most.importanly, both of the smoke detectors were out of their ceiling mounts when we arrived. One was sitting by the bed and the other by the tv. We tried to use the oven but when we turned it to 425 it started smoking from residue on the inside and we had to open all the windows. We messaged the management, who replied quickly, but they told us to reach out to the local contact. That local contact replied that they'd stop by, but when we got back to the apartment that night, the oven was still dirty and the smoke detectors still down. So that's a red flag to us. There was also stuff strewn about in the bedroom closet - notably some Christmas wrapping paper (in July). And there's a bottle of body wash in the shower that has written on it in sharpie "Beware. It's broken." How hard is it to replace a broken bottle? The toilet paper holder is coming out of the wall. Add to this that the welcome and check out emails are full of rules written in all caps and ask you to take out trash and wash and put away all dishes before you go, and you get the sense that you're less welcome and more a source of capital.

Good location
You get what you pay for at this condo in Juneau! This is a very no frills spot, close to the hiking trails and the downtown scene. There was no toilet paper when we arrived, also no wash cloths. It is a lot cheaper than the local hotels though, so you should take those savings and go buy toilet paper at Fred Meyer before checking in.

Sterile and adequate
The property was clean and simple. No Alaska decor or, really, any decor. The view of mountain is hidden by two growing trees in front of window. There is a candle, but no matches or lighter. The water filter was nice. We both agreed that it did its job of a clean place to stay and wash clothes as we are on a long traveling SE Alaska trip, but wish there was more personality and special touches that we have found in other rentals or B&B. You can tell the owner probably doesn’t visit. It isn’t bad - it just depends what you like in a rental.

Decent location but couple of issues when we got there
Nice location and living space was clean however the toilet seat was missing and the hot tub advertised was dirty so we didn’t use. Owner was easy to communicate with and had someone bring me toilet seat in a few hours.

Nice place. Small little changes would make a big difference
Recommend property: - small blanket too, along with just white sheets enough to stay warm or comfortable when the weather changes in Juneau. If sleeping in living room travelers don't carry blankets. - needed to buy paper towels , hand towels in kitchen specific the store only had six packs, a very small item that should be included. - include somewhere to place luggage on rack, or shelf instead only place on the floor. Overall nice place and convenient nice location.

Nice vacation
All in all it was a nice rental. The hot tub wasn't working until the last few hours the night before we left, the dish washer left the dishes looking dirty, and there wasn't enough room for our garbage but those are my only complaints. We had a big group and rented both the apartment above the garage and the house. it is an awesome location and we had 3 rental cars to park so were glad to have enough parking spots.

Good Basic Dwelling
This property was easy to find, the communication between us and the management company was excellent. The email provided covered everything we needed to know. I liked that they didn’t require too much work at the end of the trip to clean the place up. They had a basic set of pots and skillets. It would have been nice to have some bakeware (9x13 pan, Corning ware), that could be used in the microwave.

Overpowering perfume smell
I have allergies and had an allergic reaction to the air freshener the owners used. I opened all the windows and still couldn’t get rid of the smell. For the price it was really over rated. This was my first experience with a vacation rental and I will never go through this company again.
