We had a great time staying in this cute little house! It was perfect for our family of four. Leslie was on top of all communications and she even gave us some great recommendations for things to check out in the area. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and had a chance to take our young children to the zoo nearby. The backyard was under construction with some exciting plans for future renters. We weren't able to let the kids play out there but that gave us the opportunity to visit some adorable nearby parks. We enjoyed our time in Salt Lake! Thank you Leslie!
Great place to stay for our family. The layout of the condo makes it comfortable for everyone! My kids enjoyed the playground. Great restaurants nearby and a short drive to downtown
