Our stay was perfect. The home and patio were spotless. So convenient to park in the attached covered garage. Great views of South Mountain, in a nice residential area, close to trails, and less than a mile to shopping, groceries, movies, entertainment, huge array of restaurants, and to the interstate, to see what Phoenix and the Valley has to offer. Amazing host! Eric is the most responsive, helpful and flexible host we have ever met. We hope he will have this home available for our next visit.
The home is nicely situated in a quiet neighborhood, very close to the mountain. Very quiet neighborhood and close to several gro ery stores, etc. The place was cleaned whne we arrived and as described. Overall, good location, spacious, clean and quick response from home owner.
Host was responsive and awesome! Place was exactly as advertised and in a wonderful location. Could walk to a grocery store which was awesome! Love it and highly recommend.

The house looks “rough” and needs a deep cleaning. I would consider replacing the cookware, also cheese stuck on baking sheet in cabinet.
Aside from a few issues, such as flooded dish washer, backed up sink, a stuck bathroom door, and the garbage full in the garage causing the house to have a gross smell when garage door was open, it was very clean and very beautiful home. There was not much to clean up the house, like a broom, or mop or cleaning products. But, besides multiple small things, the rooms were amazing and it was very homey. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our property. We are terrible sorry about the trash, there was a mix up with our cleaning team forgetting to take it out. We have also fixed the garbage disposal which was broken by a prior guest. We are glad that you enjoyed the property outside of those factors and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Needs TLC
There is mold in the primary shower. The handle on the hall bath is rusted out. Stains on comforter, throw blankets, sofa, chairs and rugs. Its not in the condition that the pictures show. The lazy susan fell out of the cabinet when i tried to turn it. Insidecand out needs some attention to look like the pictures.
The details in the listing was accurate. The location was convenient to the freeway. Along with many shops, restaurants and hiking trails nearby.It was a great retreat for our family to hangout after a busy month.
We immensely enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and neat with a very pleasant feel and had everything we needed and more! The pool was stunning and very well kept. Eric is a great host, so pleasant and nice and easy to communicate with. The house is even nicer in real than in the pictures! Grab it!!!!
