We are locals and needed a place to stay when our air conditioner broke (in July!). I wanted to stay somewhere that felt like a vacation with plenty to entertain the kids and I when we needed breaks but also had space for us to work and be productive (2 of the kids are working through some intense college classes). This house was the perfect blend of everything we needed. Peace & quiet, built in options to take breaks, and space to focus for long periods of time. We used the kitchen and the grill and our host was the absolute most. They were communicative, kind, and made what was a super stressful situation seem much easier.
Absolute gem in the desert. Why would you stay any where else? The place had everything to keep our family occupied, very spacious, and well equipped, its hard not to feel spoiled, and even harder to have to leave at the end of our stay. The owner was very quick to respond to our queries and was helpful with any of our needs. The house is located in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood, removed from the bustle of the city. I definitely would recommend staying here.
