I was attracted to this listing for several reasons -- the gas fireplaces, the steam shower, and the presence of actual owners rather than a management company. I was not disappointed in any of these.
I spent five weeks at this property, working remotely, skiing, visiting family and friends, and taking advantage of SLC's easily accessible cultural opportunities. The University of Utah's Fine Arts Museum was an easy TRAX ride, two stops away. The Broadway, home of the Salt Lake Film Society, was an easy walk. Driving to any of the ski resorts was entirely doable.
The house is much bigger than what it appears from the outside. There are two master bedrooms, one downstairs, one upstairs. Both have desks, so suited to remote work. I enjoyed the light of the upstairs bedroom which had a comfortable desk (not a huge desk, but I had no trouble working there). After skiing (or really anytime), I loved the steam shower and the bath tub.
Jon and Martine were communicative and responsive. Truly delightful people. They live close by. I am much more comfortable with this kind of situation than an impersonal management company.
The 9th East TRAX station is steps away; the SLC Roasting Company is across the street, but the house also sports a luxury built-in coffee maker. The kitchen appliances are all of the highest quality.
The only thing this house lacked was a yoga mat as there is no carpeting. But all in all I was very happy with my choice.
