About this property

Cozy, modern clean studio with a full kitchen (granite counter tops) and plenty of room for your clothes. The closet is quite large. King size bed, and a loveseat in the main room. Large shower, hardwood flooring, flat screen TV with cable and internet.

The location just does not get much better than this. Walking distance to everything great about Downtown Anchorage. You just will not need a car. (If you have a car, you can arrange parking though "Easy Park" in the "Chinook" lot, which is right next door to the building) You can walk down to the train station, or right next door to the Saturday Market. The Iditarod race starts on 4th avenue, just one block up. Fur Rondy Carnival is next door.

The unit is small (387 square feet) but if you like the freedom to cook some of your own meals, the kitchen has everything you need. It is perfect for two people.

This charming old (security) building is home to unit owners who have lived in the building for many years. They take pride in ownership, and respect 'quiet time' in the building. Exterior doors lock at 5:00PM, (so you will need to keep your security key with you) and parties do not really work in this building, so that means everybody gets a peaceful night's sleep, and everybody wakes up happy in the morning (grin) .

Should you like to see the outside of the building, please just look on Google Maps and hit the "street view" option, so you can take in the whole, wonderful street. The address is 525 W 3rd Ave, and the building is green. Sadly, there is not much of a view, from our unit, we are next door to a building that blocks it, for the most part, but you can see part of the Ship Creek area, and you can walk to the action in minutes.

Staying in a historical building has it's challeges at times. The water system is all connected, so occasionally the water must be turned off in order to perform maintenance.

Convenient, Good Base for Tourism

The condo provides guests with a downtown location next to a large hotel with a restaurant and a convenience shop. It’s just a short walk from the train station and other meeting points for buses to take you onto other tours (i.e. glacier boat tour by Cook Hotel). The building is mostly quiet but noise from the streets and other tenants can be heard from time to time.

Great location. Ideal without a rental car

Carrie was a great and very responsive host. Provided clear instructions and a lot of helpful info to get around. Being downtown was ideal for us without a car and it was perfect for easy to organize tours with Hilton right across the street and so many restaurants close by.

Very convenient

The location was optimal - close walking distance to many great restaurants, the visitor center, the museum, many gift shops, etc. Most of our tours picked up from a downtown hotel, so we were either able to specify the Hilton, which is directly across the street, or walk 5-10 minutes to get where we needed to be. Very cozy and the perfect set up for two people or a single traveler (studio with a large bed, one full bathroom, and a galley kitchen). We had everything we needed. Laundry was in the building (make sure you remember to bring quarters!), and we had a parking pass available to park our rental car in a nearby lot. Building staff was very friendly and gave us some good recommendations. Carrie was very communicative, also providing recommendations and responding promptly to any questions.

Amazing Anchorage Adventure

Perfect place for Alaskan adventure without a car. We were able to walk almost everywhere we planned to visit. Train station just down the hill and an abundance of great restaurants nearby. Loved Snow City Cafe and 49th State Brewery. Fly Rusts picked us up for our Denali flight tour so only had to Uber from airport when we arrived. Princess Cruise bus transfer also within walking distance. Will definitely recommend this listing to friends and family visiting the area.

Great unit! Great location!

The unit and hosts were great. However an issue I had, that is out of their control is the upstairs neighbor coming home in the middle of the night (2am) and being very loud every night. I do not know if this person lives there or was renting like me. Other than that the unit was clean, the perfect location in downtown that was easily accessible to everything and was very safe and secure. The weekend market that was next-door in the parking lot was fantastic!

Great location with easy access to sightseeing!!!

I was in Anchorage for a work trip, but planned on staying a few days to explore beautiful Alaska. The location of the condo was great. I could walk to the train station, explore downtown and jump quickly on the highways north or south. Definitely recommend! Thank you Carrie for your hospitality!!!

Comfort & Convenience

What a wonderful place to stay for our Anchorage visit, no regrets. This place was convenient to everything in town and, since Anchorage isn't that large, it's easily accessible to all other areas. A few minutes and you're out of town. The comfort of the mattress was really a great addition to the comfort of the accommodations. The host is kind, informative and accessible. When/if we come back we will try to stay here again. The shower takes 6.3 minutes to warm up, plan on it; this should be an added bonus to everyone... slow down. 😊

Great property, great studio, located in the heart of downtown in a secure building.

This studio was perfect! Modern furnishings, very clean, comfortable, the bed was nice and comfy, so were the linens, well stocked kitchen for basic cooking, had everything I needed to make for a comfortable, enjoyable stay. It is a secure building located right in the heart of downtown. Easy walking to food, coffee, shopping... The train station is nearby, so it woke me a few times but its not bad. Carrie was great as well, quick to reply, easy to communicate with and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here and I will definitely be going back to rent this again.

Lovely Condo Great Value

The condo was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Location was great with everything within walking distance including the downtown attractions, shopping, tour buses and the train station. The weekend market was just next door.

About the host

Hosted by Carrie Colbert

I live in Anchorage, just about 13 miles from downtown. I love to travel, and when I do, I prefer to stay in a place that has a kitchen, to make my own breakfast, and enjoy an entire pot of coffee before heading out to enjoy the daily activities of vacation.

Why they chose this property

Why this property? Well, I just love this old historical building. I adore the residents who occupy this place, and the pride that the owners take in this charming old place. I love everything about downtown Anchorage and enjoy weekends going out and downtown events. I love being walking distance to everything, unless I am wearing heels or it is really cold. In that case, I call a taxi to travel the short distances I am going. There is usually a taxi directly across the street at the Hilton Hotel, and they are more than happy to drive just a few blocks.

What makes this property unique

There is a gift shop across the street, in the Hilton Hotel, selling small necessities and personal hygiene supplies, snacks and soft drinks. It is quite convenient being so close.
