Arrival instructions were so easy to follow, communication was perfect, great location, the house is wonderful - thumbs up all around. Pool was a perfect size for our group, naturally shady, we didn't need to use the umbrellas in the summer. Backyard was totally secure for our dog. Would definitely book again.

We spent a quiet 5 days to ring in the new year. The place was perfect. Loved the pool and the hot tub. Kitchen had everything you need to cook up the meals. The staff was pretty responsive when we needed anything. The house was private and quiet with great views of the mountains from back yard. Will definitely be back.

This house is very “what you see is what you get” – and for the price point, it’s not the fanciest Palm Springs rental you can find. Checking in and dealing with the agency that runs the house was easy and we had no issues -- they are friendly and efficient and got us an early check-in, which we really appreciated!The outdoor area, pool and spa are GREAT and much more modern than the interior of the home. The views from the backyard are expansive and some of the best in Palm Springs.Inside most, if not all, of the mid-century charm has been renovated out of this house – think popcorn ceilings and basic floor tiles. The kitchen layout is best for only 1 person to be cooking at a time, since the stove is directly in the middle of everything – including where the fridge, silverware drawer, and wine glasses, are all located. We were only 2 people in this house and had frequent traffic jams in the kitchen.The last caveat to mention is this house is located on the north side of Palm Springs, which means when there is wind you will get A LOT of wind at this house. We stayed here during a big wind storm and could not use the outdoor space for more than half our visit. That is no one’s fault, but if you have not been to PS before geography + time of year really matters. But, once we jumped in our car and drove the couple miles into Palm Springs proper, the winds died down and we were able to enjoy restaurants and shops outside with no wind tunnel. (Get a reservation at Tac/Quila, our favorite...

Overall a good stay. The house has a great location and a nice layout, and if you enjoy cooking the kitchen is well appointed and there is an outdoor grill. It has 3 bedrooms, but we only had 4 guests. However, if we had 6 (or even 5) it might feel a bit cramped. But, the space was conducive for hanging out and socializing, especially the expansive patio area. Sadly the pool was problematic and the heating element only got resolved on our last day. However, the management office was always very responsive and friendly. We had one issue when the gardeners came a day later than expected, so it was a bit of a disruption. A shower leak was reported early on but was never tended to, so we had to use towels every day to sop up water on the bathroom that spilled out from the shower. Because it was Coachella week the rate was quite high, so given the issues the value wasn’t there. However, I would still recommend the house despite the issues, but not during a surge pricing period.

As another reviewer had stated ignore any negatives, this is a great old school re-modeled Palm Springs house. The management company Altamira handled our reservation promptly and professionally. The house is very well equipped compared to many Airbnb's we have stayed, they even supplied an additional propane tank for the barbecue. The backyard is great with a lovely view of the mountains. The kids loved the pool (it's not an Olympic size pool but great for splashing around) You will hear periodical noise from planes from the nearby airport but no big deal. It was nice to have a TV in each bedroom and efficient wifi.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this little California bungalow. The backyard is lovely and the house was the perfect size for what we needed! It is a short drive to just about anything you can think of to do in Palm Springs so the location is great! The company was easy to work with, super nice and super helpful! Palm Springs is always a fabulous idea and this was a fabulous place to get away to!

Suffice to say, coming from Chicago in the first week of January was less than complete torture; 75 degrees and sunny every day. In keeping with the Atomic Age Hollywood/Vegas vibes that permeate Palm Springs still, Altamira/Tramview gave us a homey, yet swanky family & “bachelor pad” just a stone’s throw from both the Tram and downtown. Multiple hiking venues [Indian Canyons is spectacular] and a weekly Thursday night street fair were highlights, in between frequent hot tub sessions. From the retro MCM furnishings to the extra outdoor shower to the patio breakfast nook, we thoroughly enjoyed Tramview’s loungecore experience.

Our stay at the Tramview was so relaxing. The beautiful mid-century home is clean, comfortable and calming. It is very near Downtown Palm Springs and the airport. But honestly, we rarely left the pool area to venture out on the town…it was that nice! Communication with Altamira Rentals was efficient and easy. We were provided with detailed check-in and out processes. I would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The outdoor area is fantastic. Lots of room and very attractive. I love the umbrella that shades some of the spa and pool. There's also an outdoor shower off the master bath with access to the yard. I love outdoor showers so this was a definite bonus for me1.This is a mid-century home so the bedrooms aren't big which is fine by me because we mostly stayed outside and in the common areas. Someone mentioned in another review that the bath towels were small. I brought my own just in case and turns out they are rather skimpy. The beach towels provided are very nice!The master bedroom doesn't have a dresser which was kind of a bummer. Just a large TV armoire. Not everything can be hung in the closet and I like to put my packing cubes in drawers, so I would have much preferred a full dresser with the TV on top!The kitchen is well-appointed. We did cook some and it was fine. The dishes and kitchen were very clean when we got there.I would absolutely stay here again!

This house is really beautiful, stylish, immaculately clean and the pool and jacuzzi area are truly lovely. We had a wonderful time during our 4 day stay. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the communication on the day we arrived was a little frustrating regarding instructions regarding the heating of the pool and jacuzzi. We had been traveling for 3 hours stuck in traffic with a toddler and were looking forward to using the jacuzzi and we were unable to due to some miscommunications with the rental company host. I will say that they offered to reimburse us for the heating fee we lost for that night so in the end they definitely made up for it. If you decide to stay here just know that there will be a lot of paperwork up front and a lot of very specific rules regarding check out and maintenance of the property but for us it was totally worth it. It was a perfect quarantine getaway for our family of three with a toddler. If you have a toddler the backyard, pool, jacuzzi, and the fact that everything is on one floor was just awesome. Highly recommend.

Had a great experience in Palm Springs, CA. The house was quite unique and comforting during my stay. The house was very clean and had a lot of amenities. A hot tub and pool were heated and very relaxing. I loved the great unobstructed views of the mountains. The cozy outside patio with fireplace makes a great entertaining spot or spot for relaxing. 3 nice bedrooms and 2 full baths. Will recommend in a second! Will be back!

We stayed at this great house as a break away from the NJ Winter. The house was clean, the beds super comfortable and the location of this house was great. Although the tram to the mountain top was closed we walked to the top and had a great day. We loved how close this house was to Albertsons grocery store. Had a birthday dinner at Tropicale which was quick uber ride away. We had a few cold days and had the pool and spa temp turned up so that we could enjoy the outdoors. The owners had just restocked the entire kitchen and the new additions were greatly appreciated as we like to cook. We will be back! PS, the Weber Grill was clean and we grilled every day!

Overall very pleased except we had a malfunction of the pool heating system which was not completely solved until the last two days of our stay. Management provide some compensation for the problems. Kitchen cooktop required manual lighting as the spark system did not function and the master shower leaked water through the glass encasement onto the floor. Overall a nice property and we would stay again. Kids loved the pool area and yard space. Tv's and cable programming were very satisfactory. Kitchen design was very strange making people movement difficult. Would recommend to others however. Management company staff were very responsive.

Not sure what all the other reviews were raving about, but this place is outstanding. Yes, it's near a noisy road, but unless you are willing to keep your front door open all the time you won't be bothered at all. As far as the notes and lack of supplied, those people were probably Michelin chefs as this house had much more than our modest culinary minds required. We were cooking every day for a month here during the national lockdown and not once did we feel we were lacking kitchenware. Everything was operational and the property is beautiful inside and out. We were staying here with kids and they loved the backyard and the heated pool + spa. Internet connection was very good as well. Highly recommended.

You will feel very lucky as a guest at this home. The views alone from your backyard are like you’re in a movie. I spent most of the time relaxing in the amazing hot tub, just staring at the majestic mountains and enjoying the peace that surrounds you. The house is beautiful, it truly has everything you’d need. This Airbnb was spotless and just really wonderful. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

This is a nice space in a great location (super close to downtown). The kitchen did have all of the tools you need but zero spices (not even salt and pepper and sugar), so we had to spend a lot of money on basic staples, which was a little annoying. There were puzzles in the house for us to do, which was awesome. The Altamira employees were responsive and helpful!

Wow! I loved this house. The layout is great with good size rooms. Nice large indoor and outdoor dining and seating areas. Beds comfy. Loved the back yard with gorgeous mountain views. That pool is awesome! The fireplace outdoor living room is lovely at night. We really enjoyed eating outdoors and used the outdoor dining more than the interior. The location can't be beat. A quick bike ride to downtown shops and restaurants. Grocery stores are closeby as is the tram to the top of the mountain. With Palm Springs roads being so wide I really liked that this property is set back from the main street on a service road so that is it really quiet without any traffic noise. Highly recommend! Call Simon at Altamira to book. He's great!

Stayed at this home in September. Loved the feel of the home. Open and bright that lead to a secluded backyard that was lush and green. The furnishings were brand new for our visit as the house just started in vacation rental. Our dog Rico loved the enclosed back yard and chasing the many birds that came to visit him. One of our favorite sitting areas was in the breezeway around the outdoor fireplace. We relaxed each night with a cocktail and planned our next day excursions. So close to downtown, we rented bikes and enjoyed riding through the neighborhoods looking at the architecture. We will be back next fall!

We truly enjoyed the outdoor space and location. Even with being situated on a fairly busy street, it was pretty quiet and mellow. One con, which I’ve seen in other reviews, are the rules that are posted throughout the house. While I understand the need to layout explicit rules, it feels overdone by posting in practically every room and creates a bit of anxiety. The only other con is the mattresses aren’t very comfortable, but we managed to enjoy our stay nonetheless - the outdoor space made up for it!
