comfortable and functional

My husband and I stayed in the condo from July through October, and we had a wonderful time. We both work from home full-time, so a comfortable, functional space is mandatory, and the condo offered both.
The kitchen is a bit on the small side for an extended stay, but it is well-equipped, and the granite and glass stovetop make for easy cleaning. We did plenty of cooking and baking while we were there and had no problems. The dining room/living room/kitchen area feels open, and the hideabed couch is actually comfortable to sit on. The bed is large and comfortable. The bedroom closet offers plenty of space to store clothes, luggage, and other items. The front-loading washer and dryer worked well. (I don't know if I'll ever go back to a top-loading washer!) Every several days, the water softener made a loud rushing noise for a couple of hours, which was annoying, but we eventually stuffed a few blankets around the top of the heater and that lessened the noise considerably.
The condo is about 10 minutes away from the bustle of Main Street, which was perfect for us. We were close enough to visit downtown often but far enough for some peace and quiet. The condo is directly off I-80--for quick access to the airport and Salt Lake City--but is situated at the back of the complex, so road noise is minimal. There are many shops (e.g., Walmart, Smith's, Tanger Outlets, Redstone shopping area) within walking distance, not to mention hiking and running trails everywhere. I had no trouble finding new running routes throughout the week. The view from the condo is incredible--you can see the beautiful mountains of Park City directly from the condo windows. For those who lack a car, I believe the city offers a free regular bus service to all the major areas of Park City, and there is a covered bus stop directly in front of the condo complex.
Joanne was fantastic to work with throughout our stay. We had a few problems with the internet and the automatic lock on the front door, but we were able to get in touch with Joanne immediately and remedy the situation within a reasonable time frame. She was clearly concerned for our comfort and interested in our having a positive experience. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy mountain home for a short while.
