Ah, just looking at the picture of this apartment leaves me nostalgic! I stayed at Sylvia's garden apartment for a month, and miss it! Sylvia is an exuberant and warm-hearted host. She is available to help with any concerns, yet does not invade the wonderful privacy that the place offers. Her dog Pablo is also a good host: gentle and friendly with my old dog. Sylvia even took the time to show us a trail I never would have found on my own, at the summit of the canyon.
This place is a perfect retreat for a writer, or anyone who needs some time to spend " away from the madding crowd". Not only is the canyon beautiful, especially Red Rock, but the yard behind the apartment provides a green haven. I spend many hours watching the tiny white seeds sailing in the air, and the light moving on the trees, through the huge windows. I was able to continue my work sessions on the computer without worries about being interrupted.
My old dog, who has had difficulties eating because of liver disease, ate better while we were staying there than in the preceding year.
