About the host

Hosted by Jen & Calin

Host profile image
We lived in Pacific North West for a long time and we moved here several years ago and are loving it. Southwest is absolutely charming. There are so many things to do and places to explore. Culture is diverse and traveling in the various regions of AZ will each provide a different experience. Old Southwest, High Mountain area, Grand Canyon, Sky Islands and vast desert to name a few. Phoenix has a good geographical position with relatively easy access to Southern California (LA downtown is about 6 hrs away, we tested it, we even did a daytrip to San Diego once on a whim), to Las Vegas and the superb parks of Southern Utah. Not a day passes without us being happy to be here.

Why they chose this property

We like the territorial style houses and in particular the desert gardens. This home has over 30 species of desert plants. Privacy was important to us and being on a corner with a relatively big lot made it possible. Being centrally located in the metro and proximity to mountain was another key factor.
