Such a warm, clean, and easy place to live while in Anchorage! Stephanie is a wonderful host and her cottage is close to so many of Anchorage's attractions. Many times we would head out to our 'to-do list' and find that it wasn't that far. Also, having a laundry was a bonus! We saved by not having so many packed clothes. We would definitely stay there again and will suggest it to our friends if they find there way to Anchorage!
