As studios go, this one is pretty spacious – despite the large sofa and king-size bed in the common area, the overall impression as you enter is one of space and light. Part of this is due to the mod-inspired, vibrant decor, and part is due to the set of glass sliding doors that lead out to your very own balcony. A separate kitchen with all the mod-cons and a sizeable bathroom complete this home. There’s plenty of closet space to unpack your wardrobe – good job, too, as you’re right on the edge and within walking reach of the Uptown Design District, home to the best boutiques of Palm Springs. Downstairs, you can hang out in the California sunshine by the pool with a drink at hand or enjoy a relaxing dip in the jacuzzi, before heading out to explore the bars, eateries and sunny sights that this fashionable end of town has to offer.
