The property is exactly as described/seen in pictures. Casita is VERY comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Feels like home!! And yes....it is "sparkling" clean!!!! We hope to stay there again next time we are in town. :))
The casita is super clean and is well appointed with everything you need. The location is perfect. It is located near many restaurants and shops. Gwen and her husband are wonderful hosts, as well. I rate this place a 10! I hope to return again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, location, and amenities.
Instructions for the pull-out bed are provided in the guidebook in the home. We’ll work on making that information easier to find for future guests.
My daughters and I enjoyed this cute little home. It had everything we needed and was so close to Old Town and Fashion Square. The hosts have thought of everything to make the trip comfortable and accommodating. We would stay here again!
We loved our stay at this property! The accommodations and accommodating host Gwen were wonderful. Great location with an easy walk to Old Town. Also appreciated the secure parking!
Everything we needed for a wonderful week! Perfect location to Old Scottsdale, shopping, the canal trail. The cute little patio and secure parking are icing on the cake. Thanks Gwen!
This property is clean and in the perfect location. Neighborhood is quiet, yet walking distance to a large variety of shops and restaurants! We will definitely be back!
Really enjoyed my stay. Location and description of property were 100% accurate. Communication with owner was A+++. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Scottsdale!
The Casita is perfect! We really enjoyed the ability to be walking distance to river canal and Old Scottsdale. Gwen was so responsive to any of our questions and needs. Will definitely be back.
The casita was a cute place. Location can't be beat, so close to everything. I stayed by myself for the first few days and felt completely safe. Great that both the gate and screen door could be locked.
Everything about this casita was perfect, size location. It was walkable to old town for restaurants and shopping. Gwen was very good with communication throughout the process. I will definitely stay here again when in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
I’m so glad I found this place. It was a beautiful place and the location was perfect. The casita was a 10 minute walk to Old Town shopping. Plenty of restaurants nearby. The house had everything we needed and the owner was easy to communicate with. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place in Scottsdale.
Simply and comfortably decorated with all the basics covered. Full kitchen, cool linear bathroom, comfortable bed, comfortable living room with easy-to-use large screen TV, nice private patio, carport. Laundry facilities, too. We relaxed and enjoyed this casita.

About the host
Hosted by Gwen Talbert
We have been Scottsdale residents for over 30 years and still feel living in Scottsdale is like being on an endless vacation! It is our sincere hope that you too will feel the sunshine, experience the fun, find time to relax and most of all feel the vibe that being in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale offers.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location and of course the home itself! As a child, I stayed at The Valley Ho Resort and vividly remember the Springtime scent of orange blossoms and warm gentle breezes. Never did I dream that I would own a small slice of AZ heaven just across the street!
What makes this property unique
A contemporary, secluded little 750 square foot desert gem in the heart of the city. Once inside you are transported to tranquility and removed from apartment/ condo living as the space is entirely your own to enjoy privately and peacefully. Walking distance to all that Old Town Scottsdale has to offer. Shopping at Fashion Square Mall, biking or walking along the canal, strolling the art galleries along 5th Avenue, and or enjoying one of the vast number of restaurants, all are just a short stroll away.
