I spent 5 weeks in this unit. Communication with the host was timely and accurate. The check-in process was seamless. Overall, the condo was well suited for my needs. The location is fantastic. Easy access to Tempe and the 101. Not far from US60 and the 202. The kitchen is well appointed with appliance, utensils, and pots/pans.
The cons (most of which are not in the host's direct control):
- only 1 of the remotes have working batteries.
- parking is an issue: There isn't enough of it. There is 1 assigned parking spot. On a number of occasions I returned to the condo at night to find someone park in spot assigned to this unit. All of the visitor parking near the unit was always full. This resulted me in having to park several buildings away. As all of the visitor parking near the unit was full, it was inconvenient when I had family visit me.
- There was a very loud diesel pickup that parked in the area beneath the primary bedroom windows. Many mornings that truck was being revved at 5:30 in the morning. Not the way I wanted to wake up.
- Garbage - the garbage dumpster is near the condo. Frequently people would put bagged trash on the ground in front of the dumpster and not in the dumpster. This trash would sit there for days until someone moved the trash to the dumpster. Is there not routine maintenance/cleaning of the common property? What kind of people just put their trash on the ground and not in the dumpster?
Overall the unit met all my needs, the cons listed above were minor inconveniences. Other than the loud pickup truck mentioned above, it is a quiet neighborhood. I will consider this property again the next time I have an extended stay in the area.
