Pleasant and well located

The property smelled clean walking through the door. Good size, neighborhood is close to everything and some businesses are walkable, which is not as common for Phoenix.

Great VRBO experience

We love the neighborhood- friendly people, dog walkers & small businesses and restaurants. Martin, the host, provides amenities and helpful information. For example, in addition to fresh ground coffee, he also has raincoats, bug spray & other thoughtful provisions. Pet friendly also. We will return.

Tranquil and just 10 minutes from GCU

Very peaceful stay for my husband and I! Marty, the owner, was super friendly and has freshly ground coffee. Neighborhood full of quaint, well kept houses with neighbors walking their dogs all the time. The grounds were like an oasis, with fragrant flowers and a peach tree and two inquisitive schnauzer dogs to great us. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Artistic Guest home in Phoenix.

This guesthouse displays art from local artists and is in a great neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants & businesses. It is a block from the Grand Canal where bikers, families strolling their children and dog walkers create a fun atmosphere. Martin is a thoughtful host & offers ideas for visitors. There is a fenced in yard for dogs and has a surrounding hedge which makes for a quiet, private place to read & relax. We already booked for another 3 weeks next year.

Overall we were very satisfied! Place looked very clean, quiet location in a really pretty area

We had a great experience! The place is really clean and inviting, the area is quiet and the area is really nice, close to downtown Phoenix and the owner is very kind and accommodating. The only thing we didn’t like was that one bed was squeaking, otherwise everything was great!

Cute space, great location

We had a wonderful stay. The studio is close to so many cool places in Phoenix, from eateries to cultural venues. It's walkable, close to the light rail, and near major freeways--a win no matter your transportation situation. Marty was very responsive and friendly to communicate with.

Best VRBO under $90 in Phoenix.

Great quiet property in a great location. In the morning we would walk to Lux for coffee and then a stroll through Indian School park with the dog. Plenty of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Excellent communications with Marty (owner) with outstanding restaurant recommendations. We'll be back for sure.

Everything Awesome

My son and I had to travel down to Phoenix for a Basketball Camp at GCU. We found this listing because it was much cheaper than a hotel and had so much to offer. Our flight was delayed and got us in around 1 in the morning. Host had no issues with us arriving that late and had lights on for us to feel welcome. Everything was neat and clean. Property is close enough to everything, but secluded in a quiet neighborhood. This property was excellent and hope it is available the next time I have to come to Arizona.

Good with doable improvements to make it better

The rental was good. The host was very nice and communicated promptly. The main things were clean (sinks, toilet, shower) but almost everything else was covered in grimy dust. I cleaned some of it the realized we paid good money for cleaning fee. The metal bed frame creaked mercilessly. If these things were improved, I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect little place!

This is exactly what it looks like! It is a lovely oasis in a great location. The Owner is friendly, respectful and concerned about making sure his guests are taken care of. He has paid great attention to making sure his property is not only clean, but beautiful and functional. The yard is immaculate and a fabulous space to hang out. I had a service dog with me and it was lovely to have a yard to destress her in between hospital visits to her human. The room is a converted garage and has been converted recently as it is in amazing condition. The fixtures and furnishings are modern and functional. It is a basic quality and is appropriate for the space. A larger mini fridge, hot plate, coffee maker, sink with plates glasses bowls etc. the bathroom is of good size and only lacks some counter space. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!! At the price, I doubt you will find anything close to this beautiful space and generous renter.
