Why is the rating an exceptional 10/10? It is a seedy neighborhood to say the least. The outside, the indoor lobby area, and the laundry room are all grotesque. There was trash on the floor, and the carpet was so dirty, I would not even feed a dog on it. There was a window open on the bottom floor late at night. We did not feel safe staying there. The owner mentioned that "homelessness is a growing issue in most of Anchorage.....you may see one or two unhoused individuals walk by the apartment complex..." Yes, we saw some homelessness, but what was more annoying was the actual maintenance people a few doors down. We were trying to take a nap but were disrupted by their loud talking! Also:
1) the heater didn't work. The owner said he had a space heater we could borrow. Then he told us how to turn on the furnace. We tried it, but it didn't work. Then we said we just had one more night, and to just let it go.
2) only 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth were provided for 2 days for 2 people, and no coffee creamer. When I brought this to the owner's attention, he told us to go into a supply room to fetch our towels. The supply room did not have the towels we needed. So when we told him, he brought a few creamers, and never brought a wash cloth, just a hand towel and bath towel. We found them outside our door, when we came back from our walk.
This was our first time using VRBO. We may never use you again, after this experience.
