WORST HOST EVER!!

This place is awful!!! Parking is terrible the area is incredibly sketchy and the dog inside the house from the downstairs apartment NEVER stops barking. It starts around 7am and doesn’t stop!! The shower and shower door were filthy and haven’t been cleaned in a very long time! I didn’t dare shower there. The porch outside is full of dead plants from last year. They could at least sweep it, it looks terrible. All the plants inside the apartment are dead. This place is seriously neglected and so overpriced! I stayed one night and got out of there as fast as possible. Now I wait 5-10 business days for my refund.

Great getaway

This is a lovely upstairs studio apartment with a great variety of eclectic art and homey touches. The location is very convenient and the host is incredibly responsive. To get to the apartment, there is a narrow spiral staircase that might be difficult to navigate for some- and not super easy if you have a lot of large luggage to bring in. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will definitely be back.

Midnight Sun Short Weekend

This wonderful listing is walking distance to many of the attractions in Fairbanks, from downtown to the local baseball diamond where we watched the Midnight Sun game. The host, Emily, was welcoming and helpful. The Alaska specialities on arrival was a sweet touch and helped to make us feel at home. The property is well maintained, clean, quiet, and comfortable. I hope we get the chance to return someday in the future!

Short stay. Nice clean and comfortable

We were in Fairbanks for a very short stay. This unit was very nice, very much as advertised. Had a delightful dinner at Soba, a Moldovan restaurant downtown. The host was very responsive to our questions.

We truly enjoyed our stay. On a Main Street, but surprisingly quiet for these country folks. The spiral stairs to the studio were difficult with our small luggage. Great place otherwise.

Cozy Comforts

Excellent place to stay, close to downtown! It was clean and quiet. The owner stayed in contact, provided Alaskana refreshments upon arrival, and was a delight. The only access is a spiral staircase, which might pose problematic for guests with lots of luggage or with health impairments. We enjoyed the A/C--a rare find in AK!
