Phoenix retreat

The host was very hospitable & always a message away if needed. The house is very eclectic yet tasteful! I went on a morning run daily & the neighborhood was always quiet. Great location. It was a 20 minute commute to Scottsdale. & no more than 10 minutes from the hip restaurants Tempe offer's. I was able to park under the canopy every time I arrived. Everything about the experience was 5 star’s!

Just okay

Quirky house, location close to where we needed to be. Did not appreciate only 2 flimsy bath towels when reservation was for 3 people and only 2 towels were provided. I messaged host upon arrival, no answer until next day. I asked again for more towels, and was ignored. Also, there were no extra blankets or sheets for the downstairs sofa bed. Air filter was pretty gross and neglected. Just strange and not the most pleasant experience, paying so much money and missing some much needed basics.

Wonderful!

Absolutely love this home. It is so unique and decorated just wonderfully! The quirks of this historical home are charming yet comfortable and in a great area. Food everywhere and close to lots of great activities! The owner is amazing at communicating and responds right away. A funky neighbourhood. You can tell that this home is well cared for and a work of love!

Great Owner, Great Place!

We stayed here for a month and loved it! Greg was super communicative and responsive to our needs. Comfy beds and furniture, awesome shower, enclosed backyard for the dog, very serviceable kitchen and outdoor grill, funky, hip neighborhood - it was all great. Also, the upstairs bedroom is actually bigger/roomier than it looks in the photo and both bedrooms had good sized closets. Highly recommend!

Very cute place! Nice stay

We loved our stay in the rental. With historic charm still intact like original hard wood floors this was such a cute house. So many nice upgrades and the decor is a great touch. Attention to detail is much appreciated. Communication with the host was amazing. He was very flexible and responded to messages in a very timely manner. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at this property. Only good things to say!

Very nice stay

From the onset due to a few initial questions, I was impressed with Greg’s quick response. The unit is very well appointed with all the basic necessities. We felt very comfortable with our stay. The only suggestion i have is putting the microwave in a stand as it was put away underneath the cabinet. But overall I recommend this property. Thanks Greg.

Perfect Stay

Communicating with Greg was easy. Duplex is just as adorable as the photos represent. Water pressure was super, beds were comfortable, living area was spacious. Will definitely stay at Greg’s place again when we’re back in Phoenix!

Spacious duplex with great kitchen.

Greg was very flexible with our booking & a great communicator throughout. The kitchen was large & well furnished except for lacking a dish towel. Bathroom was small but adequate, bed was comfortable. Parking was good, right in front of the house, & Greg’s recommended taco eateries were great, especially La Santisima!

Nothing short of Amazing

Not only was the home clean, warm, and inviting, Greg bent over backward to make sure our stay was the best it could be. I have never felt in safer hands with a rental before. We have been coming to Phoenix for 5 years now for convention and this was by far the best place I have stayed at. Thank you, Greg!!!

Great!

Convenient location, comfortable and up to date. We stayed with our three year old daughter for 6 nights. House was clean and comfortable and a good base when exploring the area. We cooked meals and were happy to have a grill on hand. Many thanks- we’d stay here again!

Perfect for us!

We booked this VRBO for our stay in Phoenix for a private adoption. From the get go Greg was very quick about answering our questions prior to booking. Due to the nature of our visit the time we would be in Arizona was a bit of a mystery. Greg was more than accommodating as the delivery date grew closer. We actually ended up not needing the VRBO for the whole time as we were able to get back to Florida sooner than expected and Greg was more than understanding. The property itself is great. The location is great. Close to the airport and hospitals as well as shopping. The area appeared very safe and quiet at night. My wife and I felt comfortable leaving after dark to run and buy diapers! Greg has stocked the house nicely and it has all the basics you would need to feel at home. i HIGHLY recommend the furry white blanket that he has in the upstairs bedroom...it was perfect for our new family to snuggle up on the couch and watch some Netflix!! Bathroom is small but served it purpose. Water pressure is AWESOME and hot. It is a really cute duplex, older home which we love and has nice wood floors and feels very cozy. Check in/out was super simple and easier than expected. Outside of the property just being perfect for our needs I cannot say enough about Greg. Super quick to reply to questions (even when I asked the same one a couple of times). He even emailed me a few times through our process to see if the baby had been born and how things were going and if we needed any additional items for the house. He was awesome. I honestly don't see us going to Phoenix again anytime soon but if we do I will for sure stay here. Greg, thank you for everything and allowing our stressful busy time to be easy when it came to our accommodations. You made that part of our journey super simple!

Gem in the heart of Phoenix

We loved our stay at this adorable property!! Located close to everything we needed, great hosts who made sure there was a light on and cold water for us on our late arrival. We found just about everything we needed for our stay. The only thing they could add would be a mixing bowl. There was a surprise grill that we didn't get a chance to test out but was so thoughtful of the hosts to let us know it was available. We were a party of five adults and found the property to have plenty of room, plenty of bedding/towels etc. The decor is fantastic - not usually high on our list when choosing a property but speaks to the care put into providing an attractive and comfortable accomodation. I would highly recommend this property for any visit to the Pheonix area.

Great location

The house is comfortable and convenient. Our trip was for a family emergency and Gregory has been completely amazing in working with us. The house is awesome but I would stay anyplace the owner had based on the ease of working with the owner. It is 4 blocks from Banner Hospital which was a plus for us as we could walk there and Never rented a car. Thanks for a place that gave us relief from the stress we were going they every day.

Our stay was fantastic!

Greg was extremely accommodating and very flexible with scheduling. Everything we could’ve possibly needed was provided. Check in and out was easy going and the least bit stressful. The house was beautiful and spacious as well as conveniently located close to downtown. Overall one of the best VRBO experiences I’ve had, definitely keeping it in mind for the future! Thank you!

Cute & comfy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greg’s place. The check in process was easy and Greg provided clear directions. The home is so comfy and cozy. I loved the older home bungalow feel. Both beds were very comfortable and the shower had awesome water pressure - great for after a long day on the trails. We loved the have a drink, leave a drink option. I would stay here again the next time I’m in Phoenix. Great location and quite neighborhood.

Great location and nicely appointed home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent, close to downtown and about 20 min from State Farm Stadium and the spring training fields. The home was very cute and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Markov

I am an avid traveler (both for work and fun) and a frequent VRBO renter. I know how important it is to provide a comfortable, restful stay and work hard to provide that experience for my guests every day. I own and manage myself several vacation rentals (all in this area), and have excellent feedback across several platforms.

Why they chose this property

I love the historic character and quality of properties from the past. The moment I saw this duplex, I fell in love with it. The original oak plank floors, the fireplace, the layout - it all spoke to me, and I just knew that I could create a superior rental experience here. After renting it out as a long term rental for a few years, and working out all the kinks, I approached a prominent local designer to help me create a unique short term rental unit. The result is perfect to me - I hope you feel the same way!
