There are not a lot of options for comfortable self contained apartments in Sitka, and the Franklin Apartments were a great find. They are centrally located, with as many food, shopping and adventure options as can be found there. As mentioned in other reviews, the two bedrooms are separated by walls that don’t completely seal at the top, so these are perfect for families with young children or children or for those who don’t need sound proofing between rooms. The kitchen was fine for reheating leftovers or simple food preparation and overall we were happy with our week there. We are considering going back for future trips to Sitka.

Thanks for another great stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our six nite stay in Downtown Sitka. Fishing activities were excellent and the cruise ships are back in town again. Hopefully the tourist shops can re cover from a long dry spell in customers. Cute town with lots of charm.

Overall we had a very good stay here. The best things about this VRBO is the location to the dock and it was very clean. A BIG tip when checking in I wish we knew. There is an elevator but you must have the key. I would advise sending one person up to get into the apartment and get the elevator key, so you’re not lugging your bags up stairs. It took us about 10 minutes to get the lockbox open the first night (we arrived very late) but finally got it unstuck. You only will do that if arriving late the first day. The house was very clean. It is what it’s advertised as, the second room isn’t a real room but has dividers to make it private. You can hear everything said in both rooms, but they are private. There wasn’t tissue or paper towels but plenty of toilet paper. The location is fantastic especially if you’re fishing. You’re in town and right on the water. It wasn’t loud and again the elevator is nice to have. The pantry had a few goods if needed. Overall it was a good stay. Just know the bedroom situation (which they list about) and send one person up to get the key so you’re not lugging bags up stairs.

Great location and as advertised

Property was super clean and in a great location to town. If you read the details of the property and know what to expect, you will not be disappointed. Entry into the place is slightly cumbersome but does not detract. Owners communication about late arrival process was more difficult than it needed to be (took three messages when it could have been accomplished in one). Would definitely stay again

Convenient location, but ...

When a dwelling is advertised as 2 bedroom, it is kind of reasonable to expect solid wall between them. Partial walls that don't reach the ceiling offer no sound privacy. Otherwise it is a cute apartment which is well furnished, and offers a nice view.

6/10 Okay

Sorry to say I would not recommend this property. It was advertised as a 2-bedroom apartment. There are 2 bedrooms--sort of. The bedrooms are separated from one another and from the living room/kitchen area by partial walls, not floor to ceiling walls. This means there is no noise mitigation at all. So if there's a noise issue (snoring!) or if the occupants of one bedroom want to stay up later watching TV than other guests, there is no reduction in noise at all. The other problem was transportation. We did not rent a car in Sitka expecting that there would be cab, Uber or Lyft service. There is no Uber or Lyft service in Sitka apparently. A number of cab companies show up online but we were only able to get one to answer the phone. That was Bayside Tours. One cab driver made multiple trips to and from the airport in order to transport all the travelers on our flight from Seattle to their accommodations. She was great but there was only one of her so it took over an hour for her to get to everyone. Getting back to the airport was also an issue. We had an early flight -- needed to be picked up at 4:30am. The Bayside Tours driver wasn't able to do that trip but she referred us to someone else who could. Shout out to Bayside Tours and the great guy who picked us up at 4:30 in the morning!

Great property close to shops and the airport. Very clean, quiet, and pretty views of mountains and ocean. Property owners were very responsive and easy to reach. Bring quarters if you need to do laundry because they were hard to find. We had an amazing trip and would definitely stay again.

Good with possible improvement

We liked much about the property. Its location, the quiet, general appearance and provision of items to support our cooking. We would like to suggest that the guide tell renters how to turn on heat. If in fact these are owners more support would be great. Ie when we could not figure out how to turn on the stove burners there was no response. Overall the stay was good.

Suberb Location, by water and centrally located in town.

1 Problem only. The Toilet is too low to the ground. Also the Toilet doesn't flush correctly it only swirls, but if you hold the handle down for about 30-40 seconds it will flush. Otherwise, it was a perfect place to stay. Would recommend it if they fixed that!
