Garden level studio apt ⊹city views⊹ near U of U

10/10 Excellent

"This studio apartment was perfect for my spouse and I. It is setup well to meet all your needs and is decorated very nicely. The kitchen has the basics so we were able to cook a few meals in. The whole place was comfortable. The building in general is a bit worn but that does not extend to the apartment, which is fresh, clean and modern. The stairs down to the apartment are steep, but we are used to that so no big deal. Parking was no problem. We loved being so conveniently located between downtown and the UofU. I definitely recommend staying here."
