a) Guest’s stay is transient lodging, limited to the dates approved in advance and not to exceed twenty-nine (29) consecutive nights, unless otherwise agreed and approved by the host management company. The parties intend and acknowledge that this occupancy constitutes transient occupancy excluded from the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act under A.R.S. § 33-1308(4), and that it is taxed under Arizona`s transient lodging classification.
b) Guest represents that Guest maintains a primary residence elsewhere and will not use the Property’s address to receive mail beyond the stay, register a vehicle, obtain identification, or otherwise establish residency.
c) This Agreement creates no lease, tenancy, or possessory interest, and may not be assigned or sublet. The relationship is lodging operator and transient guest only. Any extension requires Host’s written approval and a separate booking.
d) Occupancy past the approved departure time creates no tenancy. Guest shall pay 200% of the nightly rate for each night of unauthorized occupancy, plus damages from any displaced reservations.

9. Innkeeper Provisions; Residential Use:
a) Host holds a statutory lien on Guest’s property for unpaid charges under A.R.S. § 33-951 et seq., with disposition as provided by A.R.S. § 33-952.
b) Host is not liable for loss of or damage to Guest’s money, valuables, personal effects, or delivered packages, except as Arizona law does not permit such limitation. Guest is responsible for securing valuables and locking the Property when unattended.

The parties agree that such losses are difficult to determine with precision at the time of booking, and that these amounts are intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. These amounts are in addition to, and do not limit, Host’s right to recover for damage to the Property under Section 2.

Excellent location, great house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Incredible location to U of A, University Ave, Stadium. Host communication was excellent from booking to questions during the stay to check-out. House was well-appointed with amenities and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Walkable Neighborhood

This property is just a few blocks to the U of A campus. A few blocks in the other direction gets you to a wonderful gourmet grocery- pizza place. The house is comfortable. Things work even though the house is vintage!

Good house, great location

We stayed here over Homecoming weekend for UofA. It was close enough to be convenient for all the things happening on campus, but still in a nice quiet neighborhood. The house is nice and charming, although it could use a little TLC in some areas. The single bathroom was fine for the two of us, but would have been cramped if we had been using the entire house.

Terrific experience at a house with great character

We really enjoyed our stay at this house! It's in a neighborhood close to two main streets (so it's easy to get everywhere), but still in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We could easily walk to the university, and we could walk to the shops on 4th. Just a lovely location. The house is old, so it's got terrific charm - the perfect antidote to other, more sterile/corporate short-term rental places. We had everything we needed, and the hosts were incredibly responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again, and we would recommend it to others.

Mixed bag

The neighborhood was quiet, convenient and walkable and seemed safe. The house has some charming features and furnishings but could use a refresh and the bathroom needs upgrading. I should’ve looked more closely at the pictures though it quite do the pictures justice. The outdoor space wasn’t very appealing and we were hoping for a place to be outside some. Otherwise, we were comfortable enough though we did blow off our last four nights for a more luxurious hotel. Bit of inconvenience checking in after dark and initially we only saw one box for key and the code didn’t work. Finally located second box. Once in we found we’d been given the wrong Wi-Fi password and had to call VRBO who in turn had to call property manager to get that sorted out. No other issues.
