The condo is just as advertised. There is a shop below (we were aware of this when making our reservation) which never presented a problem for us. Easy parking. It is right on the highway, but road noise didn't seem to be a problem for us while sleeping. It could be loud during the day if the patio door was open, because it shares that side of the condo. Weather was unseasonably cool while we were there and we did have a window open at the evening hours. Another reviewer indicated that the creaks and groans of the unit could be unsettling, which I agree with. Coyotes woke us several times every night. The area seemed quite safe, but I would've felt better with a better door lock. The main glass patio door lock was also broken, however a stick was left to put in the track. We did tell Mary of this issue at departure.

The condo had everything needed to make for an easy stay. We didn't cook, but it would be possible. We used the washer/dryer a couple of times which was an added bonus. The bathroom was sizable and made it easy for a couple to get ready at one time. The bed was soft, yet comfortable. The condo was tidy but could've used a good scrub in some areas.

Mary met us at check-in and responded quickly to texts. She gave us some great suggestions and was friendly without overstaying her welcome. We appreciated the park pass available which saved us having to pay park admittance fees.

There is so much to do in Sedona. Research ahead of time. Most tours require at least a 2 day notice (and some don't go daily), so make sure to book them early. (We almost didn't make it to the Grand Canyon, which was a must-see for us due to the 2 day notice.) Antelope canyon in Page, AZ is unbelievably gorgeous, if you are willing to drive the 3+ hours.
