Grand Canyon & Sedona trip

I met up with my brother & nephew from Texas to see the Grand Canyon. This home in Flagstaff is a good location from which to do that. Sedona is even a shorter drive in the opposite direction. The house is also great for walking to many of the interesting things to see & do in the local area. Eateries and breweries abound if you are into that sort of experience. We found the house to be very comfortable and well equipped to suit our needs. I would certainly rent it again should the opportunity to stay in Flagstaff present itself.

Being within walking distance of downtown Flagstaff was very convenient. A quick drive to a pizza shop, a bar, and a coffee shop, it was perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much and cannot wait to go back again soon.
