10/10 Excellent
"What a wonderful find this was! An excellent place to stay in Unalaska after the long ferry ride from Homer, concluding a five week adventure traveling throughout Alaska. The studio is quite large with absolutely everything we could have wanted. And, it is decorated rather sweetly and perfectly clean. Jen has thought of everything —we hadn’t expected to have eggs, milk, bagels, etc., along with plenty of coffee and snacks. Very generous. Even the bathroom was abundantly stocked including detergent for the washing machine. I was especially grateful for the chap stick. Jen had informed us about the Heart of the Aleutians festival going on in town, where we enjoyed getting a little taste of the full-time resident community. I can’t think of anything more that would have improved our stay."
