Great apartment located so close to everything downtown. The communication with the host was great and check in was really smooth. It’s an older building, but the apartment has been updated really nicely. My favorite part….the bed was really comfortable and we had a great night sleep! We come to Seward a few times a year and would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for helping make our weekend so fun!

This was a great spot for my Seward adventure! Close to downtown and the Sealife Center. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Especially important to me was warmth (as I visited during the winter) and it was very warm and cozy! I loved the decore. It was spacious for one, and it was quiet. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

It seems like this property is in a building that is managed by someone other than this host because the unit itself is immaculate and very charming; however, the outside door is completely covered in mold and the inside hallways to other units are in serious need of some fresh paint and also smell of mold. Other than that, we would definitely book this again! You can walk anywhere you need to and parking was a breeze.

Sad to say

Where to start?!? Old food was found in refrigerator. Cheap coffee maker leaked water all over the counter and wouldn't make coffee, merely hot water. Also, it had mold in it. Bathroom is extremely tiny. I am disabled: we requested ADA accessible on VRBO and were not informed that this unit is on the second floor and only accessible via outdoor stairs.
