This was truly the perfect place to stay for General Conference — you couldn’t ask for a better location! It’s literally right across the street from the LDS Conference Center and just a short, easy walk to Temple Square and all of downtown Salt Lake City.The townhouse is beautiful, spotless, and far more spacious than the photos show — with plenty of bathrooms and three comfortable levels that feel like home. The beds are unbelievably comfortable (I honestly didn’t want to leave, I slept so well!), and the view over the Salt Lake Valley is stunning.Janna is an exceptional host — responsive, thoughtful, and welcoming. I’ll absolutely choose this rental every time I’m in town. The pictures don’t do it justice — this place truly exceeds expectations. Highly, highly recommend!
Middle floor sitting room with central double sided fireplace, gorgeous kitchen with large island. TV and large dining room table. (Not in photo)
Lovely private outdoor seating to enjoy the fall leaves or summer breeze.
Third bedroom with 2 twin beds. All bedrooms on top floor.
Bedroom number 2, large bed and comfy chaise lounge complete with wardrobe closet filled with blankets and towels.

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.

About the host

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique
