"Located conveniently to downtown. House was fun and quirky. Beds and pillows are high quality. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, and living/lounging space on each level, making it perfect for two families or families with older kids that need their own space. Older home so be prepared for the teens and young adults to complain there isn’t an electrical outlet always in reach. Host was wonderful and responded quickly to inquiries."

Top Floor 2-Bedroom Apartment Near Everything In Salt Lake City

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at this apartment. I would venture to say this was one of my favorite VRBOs to stay at and we’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs and bed and breakfast type places. The apartment had a lovely historic charm and was well furnished. The kitchen was very well appointed and we enjoyed making breakfast and eating on the balcony. I especially loved the French doors and how they opened into the living room. The apartment was within walking distance to downtown, great restaurants, concert venues, public transit, and grocery stores. We only used one of the bedrooms and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Our names were also written on the chalkboard when we entered from the back of the apartment from the parking lot, which was a nice personal touch. We also liked that we had our own parking space! I would certainly stay here again next time we’re in SLC!"
