Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Margaret Battin
Although I grew up on the East Coast in Washington DC and have lived in multiple other places, I moved to Salt Lake City for a job as a professor of philosophy at the University of Utah many years ago. This is a wonderful city surrounded by mountains on one side and broad deserts on the other, endless recreational opportunities and extraordinary urban delights, especially its symphony, its dance companies, its astonishing Natural History Museum’s collection of dinosaurs, and much more.
Why do I host for VRBO? I love meeting people from all over the world, and, because I live right across the street, will happily invite you for a drink of your choice when you are here if you like. Meeting new people is a great delight.

Why they chose this property
This is a very congenial neighborhood in which all the neighbors on this block know each other, a neighborhood in the historic district. Yet you can be downtown by car in seven or eight minutes or at the University in just about the same amount of time. It is a remarkably well situated location for enjoying this city and the surrounding wilderness areas.
What makes this property unique
This little house spans a century and a half. It was originally built in 1891 and, located in the historic district, retains its simple front entrance and front rooms with traditional wainscoting and coziness. But the back end has been dramatically remodeled in the 2015s
– – a new modern kitchen, two new modern bathrooms, a great room that doubles as a second bedroom with wonderful light-flooding windows and a sense of space. It’s a kind of remarkable historic/modern combo that’s very comfortable to be in.
