Charming home near the U of U

This updated 1928 brick house is conveniently located within walking distance of the University of Utah, and a short 15 mins from the airport, and 30 minutes from popular ski resorts in Park city and the Cottonwood canyons. There is a bus stop a few houses down, and the Trax light rail system is within a mile, a 5-10 minute walk.
The home has hardwood floors, central air (cooling and heating), 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with 4 beds, 3 couches, 2 baths, full kitchen, washer&dryer, backyard with trampoline, driveway parking, front balcony with table and chairs, gas fireplace, big screen HDTV with Hulu, Netflix, Basic Cable, Blue-Ray/DVD player, and of course wifi.
I stay downstairs when I have guests, with a separate entrance, I'm a musician who travels all over the world performing and am usually out until late at night when I'm in town.
Many of my guests rent the place to drop off kids starting at the University, or for Salt Lake downtown conventions, or for Ski trips, or other University of Utah related visits.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great Stay!

We stayed in the bottom level of this house and it worked well for our family of three. Close to the university and football stadium, it was the perfect location for an Utah football game. The host is very accommodating and helpful in advance and during our stay.

House with character

Really enjoyed our stay. comfortable and clean. We were there with our adult daughter and there was room to spread out. beds were comfortable. Love the character of older homes like this! We were able to walk to several restaurants (within a mile-easy walking). The master bathroom is small and my only suggestion would be to add some floating shelves above the toilet to place personal items. Appreciated the washer/dryer with supplies! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Solid house stay that worked well for us.

We appreciated that the house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked decently, but we could have use a couple more coffee cups. The location worked really well as we were visting U of Utah and going skiing. It's very easy to get to both from this house. We could also walk down to the local coffee shop - Java Jo's from the house. Thanks for a great stay!

Super convenient for the U of U campus

We were in town for an event at the campus, which is right up the road. We did a few adventure drives to Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon, both very easy to get to. Kitchen could use a nice skillet and lid, but otherwise we had everything we needed. Bedrooms were nice and dark and comfortable.
