Blocks from Downtown at Westchester Lagoon

We are ready to host you today! We've instituted additional cleaning procedures to ensure a clean and welcoming apartment for your visit. We've cleaned hard surfaces with anti-bacterial sprays. Soft surfaces, furniture & throw pillows are treated with anti-bacterial fabric sprays.

Located next to popular Westchester Lagoon and The Coastal Trail, this top floor apartment is also minutes from downtown by car, bike, or your feet! If you have a vehicle, you'll have a parking spot reserved just for you. The unit has a private entrance accessed by two flights of exterior stairs.

When you are away from home, we want you to feel welcome and comfortable while you visit our wonderful and adventurous city. We are committed to hosting you and providing a warm and welcoming home, whether you are here for fun, business, or both. Our winter wonderland is a beautiful time to visit Alaska!

Adventure around the city, or relax inside logging in to watch your favorite shows on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon. With two internet connected TVs (one in the main bedroom), you and your companions have unlimited options.

Our apartment has two bedrooms (now with a queen bed in each as of Oct 2019), a jacuzzi bathtub, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, one full bath and one half bath, and a washer and dryer in the unit. We've stocked our Keurig machine and filled the refrigerator with complimentary bottled water.

This is the first of two rentals that we host in our building. The second one "New remodeled unit next to Downtown at Westchester" opened in December 2019. It was designed and furnished with guests in our minds.

As a born and raised Alaskan, nothing beats the beauty and winter recreation opportunities of Alaska!

You'll have the entire 900 Sq Ft apartment to yourself.

There is a shared deck to relax on while watching the sunset and waterfowl.

There are two flights of exterior stairs to access the apartment.

Located in a four-plex with private off street parking. One assigned parking spot with booking.

This is non-smoking/vaping property. For the comfort of our guests and residents, please do not smoke/vape in the apartment, on the deck, or at the top of the driveway.

This was a great choice for a week's stay in Anchorage. Very Quiet, and the location was amazing. Each morning, we could see ducks walking around near the lower entry of the drive. Very Cozy.

We came to anchorage for the state gymnastics competition. This apartment was clean and cozy and offered us a nice place to get ready for the big event as well as a place to unwind afterwards. We ate 1/3 of our meals at the apartment. The kitchen was stocked nicely

Had a lovely time staying at Dan and family's property very nearby downtown, and central to much of Anchorage. Plenty of space, and the apartment was well-stocked with toiletries, towels, tea, and coffee. Parking was easy and check-in/check-out was seamless.Only note is we had to be cautious with our shower times, as we did run out of hot water one or two of the evenings after showering back-to-back; I believe the unit shares hot water with the rest of the building.Overally, wonderful unit, location, and stay, and Dan was very communicative.

Convenient to all locations. Hosts were quick to respond. Unit was clean and tidy. Had an odor possibly from sink and tub drains but not overpowering. Had all the conveniences and even more than what we anticipated. Good amount of snacks, bathroom items, kitchen, and laundry items so we didn’t have to purchase extras. This was a real blessing. I would definitely recommend to others to stay here if you are staying in or near Anchorage.

The owners were very helpful, and check-in was smooth. The smaller bedroom could use blackout shades for the summer, but other than that very small improvement, the place was wonderful to stay at.

The hosts have this two bedroom set up very welcomingly. The kitchen is beautiful and has all the appliances you could need. The hosts also generously stocked it with some coffee pods and a few snacks. I only used the main bedroom, but the bed was comfy, and the room had a convenient connection to the bathroom. There's also a washer and dryer in the unit, which was perfect so I could pack up only clean clothes. Overall, it was a relaxing and cozy space.

The property was as advertised and in a quiet and great location for us. The property owner/manager communicated very well with us and we liked the extra touch of having water in the refrigerator and other amenities as well. I highly recommend this property!

Not only was this home beautiful, but the space was also very comfortable. I had to prepare a big meal for a family function. The kitchen space was adequate and the cooking supplies I needed were so handily available. We truly enjoyed our stay.
