Stayed here for ASU parents weekend and the house was the perfect location. Close to all ASU activities. House had a nice living and outdoor door area and was very clean and well equipped. Internet is a bit slow so wasn’t optimal for working a lot but was enough to get by for a long weekend. Host communications were excellent.

I can’t say enough great things about this house. My husband and I brought our mothers to see our ASU student. House was close to campus, spotless, and had everything we needed for our stay.

Also, I have stayed at many VRBOS and have never had one so well stocked with EXTRA paper products and trash bags.

Hygge House Was Perfect!

I rented this house to be close to my 50-year high school reunion events. I shared it with my sister and a friend from MN. The house was perfect for us! Really clean and well-appointed with everything from a Brita in the fridge to shampoo and soap in the showers, to extra towels, to corn hole, Frisbee golf in the back yard! and more. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of spices as well. It was quiet at night and the back patio was a perfect place for morning coffee. Best of all the location in Tempe was close to everything including the airport. I would most definitely rent this house again!
