The listening is just as pictured, everything was clean as well. We were also able to get in early by talking to the host, the host was amazing within communication. The location was bout 15 minutes or less from almost everything there. I’d definitely stay again ☻

This property is in a quiet location near ASU, the Desert Botanical Garden and the Phoenix Zoo. Old Town Scottsdale is close by as well. The property is exactly as described. Communications with the host, Evan, were flawless. Would definitely stay her again. Thank you!

The house was exactly like the listing showed and perfect for our 3 night stay. It was close to restaurants and the Desert Botanical Garden, and we would stay there again. Also, the Prooerty Manager's communication was great.

Great home in Tempe area
We enjoyed staying here and having quick access to the trails at Papago Park (right across the street), and very close to the zoo and botanical garden. It was a quick drive over the bridge to hockey and concert at ASU. The home was clean and comfortable. Evan (host) was very prompt to answer questions. Thanks for a great stay!

Quiet, comfortable, and home-like
We found the online description/pictures of this property to be accurate. The location in north Tempe, near Papago Park, was perfect for our needs -- you will want a car to be able to get to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The place was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and quiet. The owner has added some nice decorative touches so it feels home-like. There is a garage available in which you can park. The wi-fi was solid and sufficient for streaming to the 50 inch smart TV in the living room. There is a back porch table and chairs and a grill. There are two bathrooms, one downstairs, the 2nd upstairs by the master bedroom. We found the mattress in the master a bit too soft for our liking. There is also a comfortable sitting area upstairs. All-in-all, a good solid 5 stars for this unit.

Great Property! - Here's what you can't see in the listing.
It is exactly like the photos. What you can't see from the photos is the layout of the house, and the comfort of all the furniture. The layout is big enough for everyone to be together and also get their own space for personal time. All the beds were really comfortable, same for the couch, dinning chairs and outdoor furniture. I've been in properties where the furniture looks great but the floor is more comfortable. This is not the case with this property. The pool is a short walk from the front door, and not so close that you hear the noise from it. We'd absolutely book this property again.

Picture perfect.
Rented this property for a guys getaway to the sun. Found the house well outfitted, clean, comfortable and just like the photos. Convenient to old town, Papago Park, the zoo and more. Great, quiet neighborhood. Manager was highly responsive before and during our stay. It was a little cold for the pool unfortunately. Would definitely stay here again.
