Great place to stay!

The owner responded quickly to all questions before arrival. The bungalow is cute and well-equipped and centrally located to interstates, making travel throughout the Valley easily accessible. The neighborhood is safe, and there is a park nearby if traveling with pets. My husband and I would recommend this property.

Nice, functional unit in Phoenix

We enjoyed our stay at this unit in Phoenix. Close to grocery store and easy to get to. We were there when it was 122 degrees and the unit was hot and never really cooled off, but other than that it was great!

Perfect getaway!

We come to Spring Training each year and this location was perfect. We went to three games, quick Lyft rides, restaurants are close by as well. Charles is a great host. The studio is clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. We really enjoyed the Mexican market that was close by with fresh salsas, meats, dips and tortillas. Bought all the ingredients to cook most dinners at the house. Thank you Charles!

Great Private Location

Overall, this is a cute little place and very private. We felt at ease coming and going. Charles the host is very friendly and easy going and can fill you in on a lot of happenings in the Tempe area. After the initial check in, we were left to our "casita" as I liked to call it. The casita is small but very comfortable. There is limited space for suitcases and clothes etc., so just keep that in mind. The neighborhood is very cute, and many people are out and about walking. Overall, it was a good stay.

Fantastic place!!

From check in to checkout, Charles was a great host! The room was perfect for our needs. Besides the amazing location we needed, it had all the amenities - full kitchen for cooking, laundry machines, and an amazing bathroom space (and more). The patio was shady and relaxing. I would highly recommend this property and will try and reserve it again when I come back.

Terrific stay in Tempe

I am delighted I picked this rental for my stay. Charles is a really friendly, knowledgeable host, and I’d absolutely stay again if I visit the area again. The fresh grapefruit (grown in the backyard) was a great touch!

Charles is a great host.

This studio offers easy access to all things in Tempe and beyond. Hop on the light rail, free Tempe Orbit buss or get on the close convenient freeways to be anywhere in the Valley in a short time. Chicago Cubs Spring Training ballpark is very close. We frequented the Riverview Park for daily walks. Thank you, Charles
