The Space
As you enter, your gaze will find the bed gracefully situated beneath the window to your left. To your right, a charming table for two awaits, doubling as your virtual workspace. The skylight above the kitchen area bathes the surroundings in a warm embrace of natural light all year round. Yet, when summer graces the high desert with its warmth, we gently shield it, allowing the air conditioner to weave a spell of comfort on those sun-kissed days.
The snug kitchenette is adorned with a sink, a toaster oven, a hot plate and a drip and Kuerig coffee maker, and a mini fridge/freezer, inviting culinary creativity.
