Wonderful Las Palmas property. My husband and I stayed for 30 days. Bright spacious comfortable mid century modern designed and furnished and full of light. Steps to community pool from lovely patio. Quiet small residential complex. Close to design district, many restaurants and downtown. Great walking location. Enjoyed morning and afternoon walks into Las Palmas residential neighborhoods. A quiet and peaceful desert stay.
Portia, the property manager, was excellent. Portia met me, oriented me to the kitchen appliances, Siri, the lighting, door locks, etc. She noticed the propane tank to the patio fireplace was empty and made a special trip to get a full replacement tank and showed me how to safely turn it on and off. She had made a very detailed instruction book re the furnace controls, restaurants, check in and out which was very helpful. When the pool gate lock was replaced and did not work she made calls to the HOA president and owner to fix the gate lock and obtain a key for me so I could open and lock the gate safely and securely. I wish every VRBO had a property manager like Portia
My wife, son, and I spent a month at this property and had a fantastic time! It is centrally located to all that downtown Palm Springs has to offer. The hosts were communicative when necessary and made the process very easy. Would 10/10 recommend!
