We have rented several VRBOs in the past few years in Flagstaff, and this by far was the best!! The description didn't do it justice. It was very spacious for the 4 of us that were staying there. It was very well stocked, providing us with everything we needed, and so clean. And the location couldn't have been better. Just a short drive from downtown, however, you felt like you were so far away from it all, with amazing views, hiking trails right off the back deck, and it was so quiet. And Andy was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend this place.

The perfect Perch

We loved the location atop the ridge over looking Flagstaff. Beautiful sunrises, easy hike to the Lowell Observatory and quick drive to downtown. Very spacious inside, fully and very nicely appointed kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Andy's flat, which is separate from the rest of his house, was perfect for the two of us. Best of all, the house is right next to the forest at the top of a hill, in a culdesac with only three houses. Great for short hikes, and an easy walk to the Lowell Observatory for anyone who's interested. Andy is very friendly and welcoming. We both would highly recommend The Perch to anyone looking for a getaway in Flagstaff!!

Dynamite location. Three stacked units in the building on the side of Mars Hill with a great view of Flagstaff. Simply but completely furnished. New and sparkling clean. Walking trails in the pines. You will enjoy it!
