Cute cottage that has everything you will need. We enjoyed walking around the Alton downtown area and this home is close by places to eat and explore. It is also a quick and easy drive into St. Louis to take in the sites there without having to stay in the city. The host is very accommodating and provides great communication if you need anything or have questions. We enjoyed our stay.
