Great little place in the central part of Seward with good amenities for a trip with teenagers. Made meals there and truly enjoyed our time. Super comfy bed!
Awesome location and perfect accommodations! Shelly was really helpful on some restaurant suggestions and was able to get me into the unit early so I could explore Seward during my 24-hour stay. If I’m back in Seward, I hope to be a repeat guest at Shelly’s place.
We loved the location of this property. It is in the older part of town. Walk out the door to stunning views, great coffee shops and plenty of dining choices.
This place was perfect for our 3 day stay. Walking distance to many restaurants and the Alaska Sea Life Center. Short drive to the docks where you can take a cruise around Resurrection Bay. Kitchen area was just enough to make easy morning coffee and breakfast. If we ever come back to Seward would definitely stay there again.
Everything was amazing from checking in to checking out. They truly thought of everything! Beautiful, clean and super comfortable. The host even picked me up some milk and delivered to me. Very thoughtful.
Our host was able to get us in early which worked out very well for us. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was very clean and a great space. The couch with the foam topper was very comfortable. This space is right by downtown and not far from a free shuttle stop. Noise from the upstairs apartment was a little bothersome but not that bad.
The studio is perfect for a couple. First: location was 10/10. The town of Seward is tiny so everything was within 5 min driving but there was also plenty within 5 min walking distance of the apartment too! The unit itself was plenty big for 2 people for a few days. The kitchen was stocked and had what we needed. The bathroom was simple but functional. The shower was a little small if you’re over 6 foot tall but we had plenty of hot water and that’s what we care more about! Very comfy and cozy for us, we. Enjoyed our stay!
Good location. Just a couple of blocks from restaurants, shops, and the SeaLife Center. A historic building but in very good condition. We were very pleased with it.
Perfect place to stay for a night while exploring Seward. The location was awesome and within walking distance to great restaurants. The bed was comfortable which is very important to us!
