Not Good

The rental smelled strongly of urine (coming from small second bedroom) and was very musty upon my arrival Friday afternoon. I had to air it out and close the second bedroom door for the duration of my stay.There were nasties on the queen bed comforter. I had to change that and inspect the bed thouroughly before being able to nap after a long drive from Fairbanks.The trains were so loud I couldn’t sleep. Could literally feel the house shaking.As soon as I awoke, I had to get out of there.I’m hoping for a refund for not being there since 8:30am 3/22 when I was supposed to be chucking out this morning 3/23.

2 night stay

Everything was great. Convenient, quiet, and clean. Guests should be aware that you can hear a few trains go by in the early morning.
