Lovely Spot on the Hill

We loved our stay and were super comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and then some. The spaces were not only beautiful, but so comfy cozy, too! The location was superb to be able to use SLC's excellent public transit system. We will be back!

Convenient location and great living area/kitchen.

We really enjoyed our stay at the spot. Overall, for the price, we definitely think it is worth it and would recommend it to others. The kitchen organization could be a bit improved for cooking and knowing what is there and what is not.

Convenient Stay

From check-in, to the location in the city, this place was conveniently located and made our trip a breeze. The main level is beautiful and updated, however the second floor was a bit lackluster in terms of its features. Overall, a clean, quiet, convenient place to stay.

Great Place to Stay Downtown

Had a very enjoyable stay. Conveniently located (12 minutes to airport; 35-40 minutes to all major ski resorts). Very large kitchen - great for eating in. Amazing sunsets from the hilltop out the living room window. Garage was handy for the car overnight.

BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY

This property is beautiful and looks just as it does in the pictures. Just far enough from downtown but close enough that if you want to walk you can. It is in the hills so be prepared with comfy shoes. The owner is a wonderful communicator any issues are resolved promptly. Top of the line appliances and a beautiful kitchen. I love to cook.

Visiting my daughter at the U!

I was looking for a full kitchen and I sure did get it, even a crockpot! Driving up capital hill to this place at night is magical. The street is beautiful and the Capital is all lit up, it looks like gorgeous. The view of the mountains from the house is spectacular. We were very happy.

Almond Joy real sweet stay!

Beautifully decorated and spacious. Very nice patio area. The sliding glass door needs some WD40. It was very difficult to open and close. In fact I noticed the door handle was bent due to prior occupants most likely encountering same issue. Under "who stayed at property" the "other" button doesn't work. There were 3 co-workers staying there for conference at Hyatt Regency.

Prime location with beautiful views

The location is prime- walkable to many downtown restaurants and shopping. Janna provided wonderful detail on the area and recommended many spots to dine, grab coffee, etc. There is ample living space and room for multiple guests to feel comfortable. Pros: laundry room, modern kitchen (we had whole foods deliver groceries), appeasing decor, location, quiet neighborhood, lots of extra linens Areas for improvement: could use some fresh paint, a blower for the patio leaves, and the patio sliding door is a but challenging to open. Overall, a wonderful home that we recommend and would revisit. Thanks for a marvelous getaway!

Beautiful townhome and breathtaking views

This rental was perfect for us as a family. If I had not been on crutches, we could have walked to restaurants. The kitchen has everything one needs for a weekend including all the necessary pots and pans and basic spices. These pans are not the scratched up cheap nonstick you see most places. The entire space was well kept and decorated. Jenna was very quick to respond to any questions and was a pleasure to work with.

Almond Joy is not just another home—it’s a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Salt Lake City. What sets this property apart is the incredible combination of stunning views, unbeatable location, and luxurious amenities.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this location because it perfectly blends the excitement of city living with the tranquility of a quiet neighborhood. Being just one block from Temple Square and within walking distance of iconic spots like City Creek Center, The Gateway, and Memory Grove Park means we’re always close to the action. Whether it's dining at the city's best restaurants, shopping downtown, or enjoying a relaxing stroll through historic landmarks, everything is just a short walk away.

For us, easy access to world-class skiing was a must. With I-15 just minutes away, we can reach Alta, Snowbird, or Park City in just 35 minutes, making it perfect for winter adventures. And when friends and family visit, we’re just 12 minutes from the airport, which makes travel a breeze.

We chose this spot because it offers the best of both worlds—urban convenience and stunning mountain views, all wrapped up in a quiet, charming street that feels like home.
