Close to UofA Campus

Overall, pleasant stay! Very convenient during graduation visit.Some suggestions: Bathroom sink difficult to use/not functional and not attractive/was old. No shelves in bathroom to put toothbrush, toiletries, etc. A mirror for shorter people or full length mirror. A Kuerig coffee maker would be a nice addition. A water filter in the fridge would been nice too. Add blanket for the living room couch/bed.

Sweet casita, great location.

Cute casita in a great location. Walking distance to fun shops and dining. Todd was great. For some odd reason my reservation didn’t show in the VRBO system so we likely needed a bit of extra hand holding but the owners were very nice and accommodating. Nice experience. Good value.

Actually, we had to cancel our trip due to severe weather, making a road trip inadvisable. The crew at Desert Bloom were kind and compassionate. Luckily we insured our stay and Desert Bloom was very helpful giving us the documentation we needed for the insurance company. Would be happy to book again! Thank you.
