Spacious 5-bedroom, 2 Level House in Downtown Anchorage, View of Park Strip

Great 5 bedroom house

We loved that the house was so convenient to downtown and things to see! We walked to the trolley tour (which is a must-do!!), and then walked all around downtown several times. The house is roomy and wonderful, and Bob was friendly and helpful!

Overall, this was a great place to stay if you’re looking for a home within walking distance of downtown. The park directly across the street was an added bonus and made the location even more enjoyable.There was plenty of room for our group of eight. Five of us slept comfortably on the main floor, while three stayed in the basement. The main floor has a full kitchen, and the basement is set up like a separate apartment with its own kitchen, which was very convenient.One thing to note is that the main floor bedrooms do not have blackout curtains, so eye masks were very helpful for sleeping. The basement was much darker, with only a small amount of light coming through the windows, which we easily blocked with a pillow.The yard appeared to be a bit overgrown, as though it hadn’t been maintained since spring, but the house itself met our needs well for our two-day stay.We took an Uber from the airport to the house and another from the house to the train station. Everything else we wanted to do was within walking distance.The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.

There was difficulties accessing as the door was looked. I had to reach out to the host to unlock with a key which he was reachable and responded right away. The front entrance was not shoveled so we went though the back door. There was pots which was good but did not have cooking spoons so we had to go out and bring some. He did provide a late check out which helped since we had Christmas dinner there and had much to take with us. The place was not kids friendly in that the tabletop is not secure and easily moved on the base as well as the shelves, a child picked up a book and the shelve fell, it had three of the pegs so it is missing one. I opened the curtain to the shower downstairs and the curtain fell, the rod was not a tension rod so I had no way to reattach it. Finally, It would have been nice to have more seating in the living room. We selected the place for the amount of beds and the second kitchen which is a plus when you're preparing a holiday meal.
