Sedona dot net features a listicle that advises "what not to do" in Sedona. One of its items is, "Don't book a room solely based on the view." That's ostensibly because it's possible to appreciate Sedona's gorgeous red rock vistas from everywhere you go. That advice sounds sensible enough... Until you get to Sedona, go indoors for comfort, and find out that your only window faces another hotel room or a row of cars in the parking lot. From this hillside apartment, we enjoyed beautiful high views through every window. The living room features a full wall of sliding glass doors to the deck -- gorgeous! -- and the scenery from the deck will blow your mind.
Inside, you will find that your every need has been anticipated. Toiletries, paper goods, linens, even cleaning supplies like dish detergent and soap for the dishwasher and laundry machine are all provided. Every morning, I used the electric kettle to heat water for oatmeal. The shower features a sleek new glass enclosure, adjustable shower head, attractive new tile, and plentiful fluffy white towels.
Because this house/apartment is brand new (so new, that Google hasn't snapped a satellite photo of it yet!) all of the fixtures, appliances, heat/ac system and on-demand water heater are all in perfect shape. Information on how to use everything is found in binders in the living room and there are helpful labels on every light switch and thermostat control. There was a very slight "new-apartment smell" of fresh paint, easily abated by opening the front door and the slider doors to the deck, and letting the wonderful fresh breeze flow all the way through.
It was wonderful being able to walk from our apartment to the Javelina trailhead and hike all day without having to drive or find parking. In the evening there were many wonderful choices for dinner, all within pleasant walking distance. My favorite was the Hideaway, where they'll pour you a flight of four tap beers from Oak Creek Brewery.
Overall we were thrilled with this location and this apartment, and highly recommend it to all.
