Additional Notes:
Pool is not heated. Generally swimming occurs from Late April to September depending on your comfort level. Pool does not have a fence. If you have non-swimmers, please take additional precautions to supervise swimmers.
Please be aware, the living room has a “sunken floor” where there is a small step up or down to walk across the main floor. This does not impact most guests, but something to be aware of for folks traveling with elderly guests.

Our stay was perfect. The home and patio were spotless. So convenient to park in the attached covered garage. Great views of South Mountain, in a nice residential area, close to trails, and less than a mile to shopping, groceries, movies, entertainment, huge array of restaurants, and to the interstate, to see what Phoenix and the Valley has to offer. Amazing host! Eric is the most responsive, helpful and flexible host we have ever met. We hope he will have this home available for our next visit.
The home is nicely situated in a quiet neighborhood, very close to the mountain. Very quiet neighborhood and close to several gro ery stores, etc. The place was cleaned whne we arrived and as described. Overall, good location, spacious, clean and quick response from home owner.
Host was responsive and awesome! Place was exactly as advertised and in a wonderful location. Could walk to a grocery store which was awesome! Love it and highly recommend.

The house looks “rough” and needs a deep cleaning. I would consider replacing the cookware, also cheese stuck on baking sheet in cabinet.
The house has not been attentively maintained. The drawer front was missing from one bathroom drawer when we arrived. The kitchen is stocked, but piecemeal. When we saw the condition of the spatulas and the like in the kitchen, we elected not to cook. The ice maker didn't distribute ice, but it made it. So you could use tongs and get it out.Ultimately, we checked out early. The house was making my allergies really flared up. And by day 4 I couldn't shake it by leaving. I get that it's a pet friendly peoperty, and that can affect allergens… but I suspect the Ac could benefit from service and cleaning, at a minimum. The bathtub didn't turn on, in the second bath, and the host was great and offered to send a plumber, but we didn't need the tub and didn't want to deal with a repair, so we elected to just alert him and leave it for repair after checkout. The turf is bottom of the line, so in the summer after 9 am, you and your pets aren't safely walking on it. You can smell the plastic cooking and it is SO HOT. Ultimately, it's fine for the price, just understand its not going to make you feel like it's a peaceful respite. It does have a pool, but no real shade, and the pool is an insert.
Aside from a few issues, such as flooded dish washer, backed up sink, a stuck bathroom door, and the garbage full in the garage causing the house to have a gross smell when garage door was open, it was very clean and very beautiful home. There was not much to clean up the house, like a broom, or mop or cleaning products. But, besides multiple small things, the rooms were amazing and it was very homey. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Needs TLC
There is mold in the primary shower. The handle on the hall bath is rusted out. Stains on comforter, throw blankets, sofa, chairs and rugs. Its not in the condition that the pictures show. The lazy susan fell out of the cabinet when i tried to turn it. Insidecand out needs some attention to look like the pictures.
The details in the listing was accurate. The location was convenient to the freeway. Along with many shops, restaurants and hiking trails nearby.It was a great retreat for our family to hangout after a busy month.
We immensely enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and neat with a very pleasant feel and had everything we needed and more! The pool was stunning and very well kept. Eric is a great host, so pleasant and nice and easy to communicate with. The house is even nicer in real than in the pictures! Grab it!!!!
