Interaction with Guests
It's your vacation! We can socialize, or respect your privacy.

Other things to note:
Casa Papaya is located in downtown Phoenix. Being the fifth largest city in the United States, Phoenix has the typical metropolitan sounds, planes, trains, automobiles. Many of our guests have reviewed Casa Papaya as a quiet oasis from the surrounding hustle and bustle of the city, but we still choose to remind guests that they are not in a rural area. We love our city, and the local business and people that make it great, and know you will too.

We try to keep our rates low for guests, and part of that is being energy conscious. We ask that guests turn up the AC whenever leaving the unit so that it is not running continuously while no one is home.

There are two skylights in the unit, one near the bed, and one over the kitchen. If you are a sleeper that is sensitive to light in the morning, you may want to bring a sleep mask.

Short stay

We had a quick trip to Phoenix. Our Verbo was centrally located to everything we chose to do. They had a resource book with food and activities, that was so thoughtful and well don’t for those that don’t know where or what to do. Our room was separate from the house and very comfortable! Would choose again if we come back to the area.
