Better than advertised.

The host of this property did an exceptional job of appointing this home, and making it perfect for our stay in Palm Springs. I was mildly concerned that the photos in the ad could be misleading, but found them to be perfectly accurate. In fact, better than hoped.While we were initially a little bit concerned about the location, we found it incredibly quiet, incredibly safe and secure, and a nice escape from the city. The home is located in a picturesque, mid-century modern subdivision full of heritage homes that are impeccably kept. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and would recommend it to my friends. Hosts were very easy to deal with. Can't wait to come back.

Palm Springs Paradise

This place is Completely dialed in. From an interior, Spotless comfortable and tastefully decorated. Fully equipped Chef’s kitchen (we brought our own master-chef and even he was impressed) to very comfortable beds and bedding. And fabulous exterior; great outdoor furniture with an easy to use hot-tub and gorgeous pool complete with snow-capped Mountain View’s. There were 7 of us and we all can’t wait to return to this haven!! Thanks Sean
