The backyard is fully fenced and is very private, with a large storage shed. An Evaporative cooling, air conditioner and ceiling fans keep home comfortable in summer.

The Master bedroom has a King size bed, a second bedroom has a twin day bed with a second twin mattress that slides out from underneath. We'll be happy to provide a twin folding bed in case you need to accommodate more people. The bed linens, duvet covers, towels and a bath robe are provided. In the closets you will find extra towels, sheets, blankets, and pillows. An Air purifier and humidifiers are there as well to make your sleep more comfortable.
The Neighborhood
Enjoy walking to everything in our safe neighborhood! Cross Trinity drive and have a nice stroll to the restaurants and coffee shops of downtown. Gelato shop with its delicious treats and Pajarito Brewpub and Grill, some of the locals' favorites, are a 2 minute drive away. Pajarito Brewpub hosts Monday night trivia and Tuesday night Karaoke. Walk to the Rose Chocolatier for organic coffee, hot cocoa or chocolate mousse. Watch there the candy production as it happens! Check out local beer at Bathtub Row Brewing COOP and wine at UnQuarked Wine room.
A two minute drive will take you to the Bradbury Science museum. The Nature center (fun for kids!), library and swimming pool are 5 minutes away. East Park playground (probably the biggest in town, and definitely the one with the most variety) and a free miniature golf course are a 2 minute drive away. Walk to Ashley pond to feed Homer the Goose, ducks and fish. In the summer, there are also free concerts on Fridays, free music nights on Tuesdays, and free kids Movies at the Pond. The asphalt-surfaced Canyon Rim Trail, one of the most popular and easiest trails in town, starts literally in the backyard of the complex. If you prefer to walk asphalt-surfaced road all the way, walk 8 minutes to the Fire Department at 457 East Rd to start the trail there.
Both of town's grocery stores are nearby. Smith grocery store (the largest in town) is a 3 minute drive away. CO+OP, a local natural food store with a great breakfast/lunch/dinner bar, is 5 minutes away.
