I had a court hearing on my immigration case and my girl friend find this location since she decided to come along for support and visit her friend in anchorage too.. It is only couple blocks from the immigration court which was already great for me since i am a late starter .. when we got to property i knew already it was perfect for me cuz there was a coded lock on the door, cuz i am notorious for loosing keys ,every time we travel and i have to remember my card number or reservation code etc. so hotel clerk will give keys to my room .
Next morning we woke to morning sun , this property gets morning sun which was great to wake up to it , besides my girl made breakfast . She said that kitchen was fully equipped ,and was able to make my Turkish coffee as if we were home.
I am writing this review which i normally don’t , just to put out there, that this property indeed was great for our visit ..
After we were done with court , my girl’s girlfriend showed up with her kids after school. I guess she couldn’t get a sitter in such a short notice.. and we all enjoy that well manicured garden there and i was able to meet her and the amazing kids ..
i have another hearing on November and i think we will go back ..
it was just like behind home for us, very private , we greatly enjoyed it .
Wow, what a great property, close to downtown and the coastal trail. Amazing historical property with all modern appliances. I would recommend.
