Quaint boutique feel in a venue that's been nicely updated. Great communication. Just know there are no elevators! And only one morning of coffee supplied. Loved being in the heart of downtown Salida.

This little apartment is in an excellent location in downtown Salida. It is easy walking distance to the restaurants and shops, right on F Street. Also very close to the river and right across the street from Riverside Park. Quite “cozy” but great for two people.
