I was very pleased with the space and the location. The apartment was clean and comfortable with a full kitchen that included pretty much everything one would need for a short or long stay. The location was quiet and walkable to several bars, eateries, and coffee shops. I was drawn to this property because of the location, the complete kitchen, and the covered parking. It did not let me down, but it should be noted that the covered parking is limited. Most of the spaces are not covered. I would definitely stay here again.

As delightful as always! Coming to the Desert Villas is like coming to your little dacha in Palm Springs - so cozy and familiar. Our baby girl couldn't get enough of the heated pool, and we were enjoying ourselves in the peace, charm, and serenity of the beautiful setting. We come often and will make sure to be back soon!
