Creator's Key Takeaways

Honestly, for Alaska, you probably want your bed closer to the bathroom and not by the balcony.

I do suggest bringing your own shampoo and conditioner. You'll be happy.

Plenty of storage.

I prefer drawers over shelves.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your own shampoo and conditioner.
✓Bring your own hooks for the magnetic walls.
✓Bring extra magnetic clips to hold the drapes closed.
✓If the refrigerator is not staying cold, put a bucket of ice in it.
✓Bring a power block for extra outlets.

Tripping in the bathroom — Remember there is a step up into the bathroom.
Lack of power outlets — Bring a power block; there are outlets by the bed and desk.
Drapes not staying closed — Bring magnetic clips to hold them shut.
