The Spot

2.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (505)
"Definitely a secret gem! Totally unassuming on the outside, and an amazing luxurious surprise on the inside. Close to absolutely everything, Transit is right there, and there's even a laundromat like a 3 minute or less walk away. The gas station and Corner Store beside it is open 24/7, and just a little bit farther away throughout several other stores and food options. The lower star rating makes no sense to me because this place is top notch! "

"While we started the stay with a bit of communication confusion and found the kitchen floor to have missed its sweeping, the house was in a gorgeous location and proved to be great place for watching the northern lights. The four of us found the beds to be comfortable and enjoyed evenings on enjoying the fireplace, cooking, and using those great desk chairs to watch the sound and the lights. Overall, a great stay. "
