3.0 / 5.0
When we first arrived at the property it was as expected. Nice neighborhood, with a beautiful front yard. However, when walked through the door… we quickly looked for the climate control for the home. To our dismay, there was only a window cooler which wasn’t sufficient. We contracted the owner and she said to open the window and use three outdated fans! The home hot throughout our stay. The home needs central air system! There needs to be notification on Vrbo on what type of heating and cooling systems the property has.

This property is in a great neighborhood🏠. Close to lots of places to explore including parks and restaurants 🍽. Paige our host should get ten stars. The backyard is beautifully maintained, enjoyable to sit and work outside on a laptop for us telecommuters. The downstairs suite offered a great place to relax, watch tv and unwind. Plus the beds are very comfortable.
We would definitely stay here again. It’s on our SLC favorites❤️

Wonderful stay in SLC! This is a great, quiet road (minus the dogs next door). Our children enjoyed walking the sidewalks in the morning and the garden. Paige was extremely polite, we didn’t really need anything but she made us feel welcome. We will be using this property again whenever we visit!

My husband I stayed here, at Kensington Garden, with our 2 college age sons. It was a great way to be in SLC but also be in a walkable residential area. The place was nicely decorated and Paige had everything you would need for cooking, watching tv, and hanging out in a comfortable environment! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly!

5.0 / 5.0
This was a lovely property and the host was so responsive and helpful! We had several adults, a teenager, and two kids in our party and stayed here for the holidays while visiting local family, skiing, and exploring Salt Lake. The location is perfect, just a few blocks from Liberty Park, several great coffee shops, and only a 5-10 minute drive to pretty much anywhere else in the city. The layout of the house worked well for the large group, with some space for the little kids to play with their toys without being in the way of everyone else, as well as the basement for board game nights, laundry, and spending time together in the evening after the kids had gone to bed. The hot tub was lovely, with easy-to-use settings for heat and jets and cute little twinkle lights. The place was pet friendly, so we did bring one dog as well. The only downside was the kitchen space, which was too small for as many adults as we had, with the oven in an awkward space that only allowed for one person to cook at any given time, and not much counter space for food prep. It might also have been nice if there'd been a few toys/games for the kids (as it was, our local family simply went to the thrift store to pick some things up for the week, which worked fine). Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay here, would stay again, and would definitely recommend this property to others.

The property was spacious and perfectly located on a quiet street with easy access to everything SLC has to offer in the Winter. The renovated downstairs area was very comfortable and a nice gathering space to relax.
Paige was very responsive and attentive from booking through checkout..
Thanks for a great stay. We hope to be back.

We stayed at Kensington Gardens for 6 weeks. The home is so charming. The gardens and back yard are beautiful and inviting. The house is as advertised, everything worked perfectly, no issues at all. My husband and I both worked remotely, the Wi-Fi was flawless. Even though the temperatures were routinely above 100, the evaporator cooler kept the house cool (I was surprised how well it worked). The location is fantastic. We walked to coffee shops, restaurants and the park. There is a Thursday evening farmers market at the park and we went every week. Paige is a great host. Easy to communicate with and willing to help if anything is needed. I miss the house already! We would definitely go back.

Definite win, few things to know
This property was exactly as listed. Just close enough to walk to Liberty park which is great. 10/10 would stay again. Few things to know more as FYI: upstairs bed is fairly lumpy/worn and destroyed our backs until we tried the downstairs beds night 3 which are bothAMAZING. Sleep downstairs. The air cooler/fan system they have worked really well at end of June hot 90°s stay. Other somewhat negative is left sided neighbors have REALLY aggressive dogs that seem to spend 24/7 outside. They would bark and ram the gate whenever we were outside to the point of not wanting to spend time outside at all. We had dogs with us and it was so intense I had to watch their bathroom breaks to keep them from fence. Dogs did this when it was only humans outside too. Overall great house though and would stay again :) Just helpful to know those tidbits.

Perfect Getaway Home
I loved everything about this home. The location, the size, and the hospitality of the homeowner. The only thing I can even think about complaining about is the upstairs got a bit warm without any cool air source. The downstairs stayed consistently cool the whole weekend

SLC VISIT
This property worked out perfectly for the four of us. The finished basement with living room and smart TV gave our in-laws plenty of privacy. This VRBO was centrally located to all the activities that we had planned for the week. I would certainly recommend this VRBO.

Liberty Wells
Our stay at this property was excellent. The owner checked in with us when we arrived, the home had lots of directions and was very comfortable. We were here for a funeral. Pets were allowed, which made it even more appealing. Thank you Paige allowing us to occupy your home during this hard time for our family.

Cozy and great location
Nice little house, cozy and great neighborhood and location.
2.5 / 5.0
This house is in a very quiet and walkable neighborhood. It’s a short walk to a great park or just around the eclectic neighborhood. You can walk or take a short drive for some great coffee, vegan bakeries, and grocery stores. The house itself is quite spacious and easily accommodated myself and two adult children. There are several lounge areas with really comfortable seating. We found the kitchen accommodating for cooking meals and enjoyed the large dining table where we could sit for either plated or buffet style dinners. The back yard and hot tub was greatly enjoyed. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t lend itself to outdoor meals but was certainly set up for enjoying outdoor dining. Paige was a great host and I felt that she was accommodating and accessible. Overall, a great experience which I would recommend.
