Loved this house, it was perfect for our trip. It has a great layout with a beautiful backyard. The area was nice and quiet, we would definitely come back.
This was a charming bungalow. Obviously lovingly restored to retain the mid century vibe. The backyard is fantastic, with patios, fire pits and a wall to keep it all private. Great for dogs. The Lemon and Orange trees in the backyard, and Pomegranate in the front are a nice touch. Nice quiet neighborhood, yet a great city location.
This is a sweet house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Everything you will need for a short or long stay is in the home. Lots of cooking supplies including a crockpot and airfryer. The bed was very comfy and linens were soft. The white towles in the art deco bathroom are soft, absorbent, and smell nice. Good quality bathroom amenities included as well. Grocery shopping is near by as are a couple of good restaurants. We will definitely tey to book Stephanie's home again next time we are in Phoenix.

Beth thank you so much for your very complementary review. I strive to make my home as comfortable as possible for my guests and I’m glad you had a great experience. Please return any time!
We had a wonderful stay at this rental! The home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. The backyard was a true highlight—spacious, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. Everything was spotless, and the space felt very homey and comfortable. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!
Entire property was wonderful. Fully stocked and decorated very well. We enjoyed playing the record player, using the wet bar, and all the wonderful outdoor areas. House is very comfortable, spacious, and plenty of storage. Bed was very comfy as well. Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our time here! Totally adorable house inside and out. Great neighborhood and lots of fun places for food & drink close by. And finally, Stephanie is a great host and fantastic with communications.
Stephanie's home is so perfect for our needs that we booked it again for next year. The home is well cared for and clean, and the back yard was so enjoyable. Thank you Stdphanie!
The home is just as shown in the photos. It is beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities that we needed. We loved the back yard - it is a little oasis in the city. The neighborhood is upscale and nice for a walk or jog. It is conveniently located to stores, restaurants, coffee shops. The neighborhood is very quiet.

Colleen, thank you for the wonderful review and the kind words. We really enjoyed having you as our guest and we certainly agree, we have a little oasis in the city. I would love to have you back anytime you’re in town, please consider our home, your home away from home.
Beautiful home with great accommodations. We lacked for nothing with all the comforts of home. We especially appreciated the cozy feel both inside and the backyard, quaint & historical neighborhood, and convenient location for driving to all of our vacation interests. If visiting Phoenix again, would stay here again. and
The weather didn't cooperate but the house was comfy and cozy!
It doesn't happen often but when it does you want to be staying in a place that you can enjoy even when your outside plans are scuttled due to weather. We enjoyed the home and the area very much. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our family could come over and enjoy it as well.

Susan, thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the holidays at the house. Happy to hear all was great. Come back any time!
We enjoyed two weeks in this home while visiting Phoenix. The house is cute and clean in a quiet neighborhood, and Stephanie was very easy to communicate with. The house is centrally located and furnished with everything we needed. Our dog especially loved chasing balls in the fenced back yard. Had a great vacation and will look forward to doing it again.
We had a wonderful time in this home. Stephanie was a very responsive owner and always available to answer our questions. Loved the home, the yard and the citrus trees. Encanto Park was our favourite place to walk the dog and play pickle ball. Thank you Stephanie!!!
A sweet little gem in a lovely historic neighborhood
Spotless, charming, comfortable space for two: well equipped kitchen; comfy bed; nice bathroom; TV, internet. Bonus great backyard with shaded porch, lovely landscaping with various seating areas. We had relatives at nearby St. Joseph hospital - a 5 minute walk, which was so convenient. We really hope to stay here again - our host was quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you Stephanie!

Alice it was such a pleasure to have you. I hope you are able to join us again someday. Thanks for the kind review!
Comfortable, convenient location with backyard oasis
This was our best vrbo experience yet. Perfect for a couple. Office space with good internet. Interesting decor with comfortable furniture, big TV with streaming services. Location was close to everything, just minutes from downtown, basketball arena, museums, restaurants with casinos closeby. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the various seating areas in the beautiful backyard oasis with patio, firepits, cozy chairs, orange and lemon trees - and plushy green grass! Highly recommend, especially for a winter retreat.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, certainly the best review I’ve ever had. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay, the backyard is also one of my favorite places to spend time. And your description of it is making me miss it, I’ll have to book my own trip down to use my home :) Please come back soon!
Great floor plan. Nice kitchen and bathroom. Great backyard. Worked out at Phoenix College just 5 houses away. Good neighborhood and close to lots of things to do. Highly recommend!!
We really enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and well appointed. The backyard is large with grassy areas and several seating areas. The pictures are very representative of the home. It is centrally located to the midtown area with many restaurants and convenient grocery stores. Communication with the host was quick and always informative.
First off, Stephanie is very helpful and accommodating. This place has everything you need, clean, great location, quiet neighborhood. Huge back yard that my dog loved roaming. Extra bonus: love hearing the distant sound of the train. Would definitely stay here again.
We really hope that the property is available the next time we come to Phoenix. The landscaping is beautiful including a big backyard. Everything we needed for our stay was provided and well organized.
Fantastic location, clean and well decorated home!
Renting the property is easy and quick. Great communication from Stephanie, who responds quickly to messages. It appears as if she is always available when needed. We even called her when we were getting into her home and she was available to guide us through the process! The home is very comfortable and contains everything you need for a weekend or in our case, for two weeks. Helpful instructions, (house manual) is provided to you ahead of time and is available on the property. This removes any stress that may be associated with living in a rental. My wife and I recommended this property to anyone planning on visiting the Phoenix Midtown location. Thank you so very much, Stephanie!!!

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Martin
I purchased my historic home in 2013 and love the property and my neighborhood. I travel frequently for work, and love the opportunity to share my space with other travelers when I am away. I enjoy skiing, checking out the Phoenix food scene, and hiking with my Boston Terrier mix Bowie.
Why they chose this property
My historic Phoenix home was my daily residence until recently. My husband and I now live in Flagstaff but we like to come down and use the home whenever possible! I love to offer my home up to travelers looking for a comfortable and stylish place to stay. All I ask is that you treat my home as you would your own. It is a very special place to me.
