This is a wonderful apartment, very clean and convenient. The hosts were happy to accommodate our request for an early check-in. It had everything we needed, including a number of pantry and refrigerator items such as coffee, sugar, spices, mustard and mayo, etc. I found the bed to be comfortable. Sitka is very walkable, and having an elevator to the 2nd floor where the apartment is located was very nice at the end of a long day. There's a coin operated laundromat that is for the apartments and seemed clean and nice. Here were a few "quirks" about the apartment: There is only one large double window in the living room - no others. The bedrooms both have doors that lead to an outside hallway as they don't have windows. The stove is very old and functions, but the indicator dials don't quite work so it's hard to tell if the oven or burners are on. There's no dishwasher so you need to wash dishes, yet the sink stopper doesn't seem to fit the drain so I couldn't figure out how to fill the sink with soap and water - ended up using a large stainless steel pot to wash dishes. The one bathtub is nice but a bit slippery - could maybe use non slip adhesives on the bottom. These are very minor observations, overall the apartment is clean, comfortable, and stocked with lots of books! We were very happy with our stay.

Great location- able to walk to all of the downtown restaurants and activities. We ended up renting a car- parking was a little tricky a few nights, but overall not an issue. The apartment was great, and having a kitchen helped cut down on meals out. I appreciated the coffee and tea provided!

Fun Location

Sitka is impressive for its views, history everywhere, and incredibly friendly people. This apartment is in the middle of the action. You look out at either all of the CruiseShip visitors (which is entertaining) or the Russian Orthodox Church with the mountains as a backdrop. Plenty of room in the apartment and everything you need...and if you do need something, the owners/managers are close and reactive.

Great location and apartment, very responsive host

We were in town for a high school baseball tournament. Excellent location - easy walking distance to restaurants and shops (and a coffee shop right downstairs) in the main tourist area. The apartment was well-appointed and very clean. We accidentally left a pair of glasses behind after checking out - the owner called me within minutes of my messaging her and was very helpful. Highly recommend!

Best Location Ever!

Right in the middle of Sitka! Walkable to about 90% of what we wanted to see and do. Plenty of space for 4 adults, coffee was provided and there were even a few bonus surprises (good ones!) in the fridge, but a word of warning to those from the lower, lower-48. No A/C or ceiling fans, so pack lightweight pjs.

Clean, well-furnished, centrally located apartment

The apartment worked great for our girl’s trip (4 adults). We were in Sitka for 6 nights, 5 at the VRBO. It was a clean, well-stocked, nicely furnished place. We appreciated the soft bath towels, adequately stocked kitchen (coffee provided!) and ample storage in the bedrooms. Having twin beds in the second room rather than a queen was ideal in that we each had our own bed. The half bath located off of this room provided a good set up for us. Being in the heart of the town made visiting sights, shopping and dining out easy and convenient. We enjoyed the view of St. Michael’s from the living area. Wished we could have seen the mountains, but it was cloudy and/or rainy most of our stay. Even with the rental being located in the city center, we had no issues with noise. Since we didn’t rent a car, we either walked or took a taxi to get around. We rode the public bus (blue line) once. It met our needs but wasn’t the most efficient. However, not dealing with parking was nice. We found the people of Sitka to be very welcoming and friendly. Some of our favorite activities: visiting Fortress of the Bear, taking an ATV tour on Kruzof Island, walking through Sitka National Park (totem poles) and attending the Sitka Fine Art Camp’s production of Mamma Mia. Suggestions for property owners/hosts: Add some hooks and towel racks or shelves in the bathroom, hang a mirror near an outlet as there’s no outlet in the half bath that we could find, if possible upgrade the Wi-Fi as it rarely worked, put in a lock box on the first floor to store an elevator key. It was very off-putting to be accused of “bothering” the consignment store staff to access the elevator, which needs a key for entry, when this was not the case at all. My friends (one in a wheelchair) were waiting in the hallway with our luggage while I determined the layout of the second floor. They were approached by a friendly, helpful consignment store employee who offered us assistance. In the future, please seek to understand the situation prior to blaming your guests. Note to readers: I addressed this directly with Katy and would not have included this in my review if I would have received a response acknowledging a misunderstanding had occurred. This did not happen and I do not want future guests to feel the way I did. I’ve not encountered this type of interaction with prior vacation rental bookings. The good news is it was the complete opposite of our experiences with the residents of Sitka.
