Our stay was perfect. The house with its lovely backyard was more than we expected. It was so nice to spend time out there during the day and in the evening. We had plenty of space with 6 of the us. Sylvia was very easy to communicate with. It was very easy access to downtown and the airport. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Our stay was good, a couple of things that we noticed -The pool wasn't heated, so it was a tad chilly. We didn't notice many places within walking distance of the house, so we ended up renting a car to get to where we needed to go. Other than that it was good. The host was very responsive to messages and helpful with check in and check out.

Beautiful home with all the amenities

We loved our stay at this charming home. It was the perfect home base while dropping our two oldest kids off at college. The pool and yard were the perfect spot to relax after a couple long days of shopping and setting up dorm rooms. I only wish we had had more down time to relax!

Wonderful Experience

"I booked this VRBO for my son and his wife during their visit to Phoenix, and it was a fantastic experience. The host was excellent—very communicative and pleasant, making sure everything went smoothly. My son and his wife loved the stylish decor, enjoyed relaxing by the pool, and appreciated the great location. Highly recommend this property for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!"

Beautiful Home

This home is so beautiful that you would not want to leave. This was a unexpected trip due to a family emergency and we found this home close by to the hospital my mom was in. Unfortunately things took a sudden turn while we was boarding our last plane from Hawai’i to AZ. The home was to small to house me and my entire family and the host was very understanding and also helped us while on our stay there. Everything worked out perfectly that I could just concentrate on the family matter we was dealing with. If you are looking for a cozy historical home that is remodeled you would want to stay here. Just the one night I’ve got to stay to rest was just amazing and I wish I had more time to stay here. Also Sylvia and her daughter was a amazing help with everything I was going through and being in communication with them was quick. 110% recommend.

This was our second time booking this property. It's beautiful, the pool I think is salt water ( I think) and it was so refreshing with that AZ heat! The location is great because it feels centrally located you can really get to wherever you're headed quite easily from the house. The home is very clean, the host was kind when we were chatting through the chat on the website. I did observe that there is a ring camera at the front door and there is a ring camera with a light ( similarly to a driveway camera) over looking the pool in the backyard. I may have overlooked but didn't see the surveillance listed in the listing. Since there is a pool maybe it's for safety, I don't know. There is a casita in the back of the property, the backyard was private although the door opens to the backyard where we sat and swam. We weren't disturbed. There is one full size bed as well as two singles and one king in the primary bedroom. I realized a full bed isn't quite for my husband and I in terms of comfort. I think a queen size bed may be a better way to go about that. In any case the home was beautiful, comfortable, and the neighborhood was quite from our experience.

Thank you, Amy for staying with us a second time and sharing your experience. A queen size bed would be nice, but the rooms are small and I don’t know if a queen will fit. The ring camera at the door does not work and you are correct the camera facing the pool is for safety surveillance. I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Arizona and the swimming pool and hope you will visit again😊 Sylvia and Mark

Not enough information

I will start by saying the house was clean, it was in a good neighborhood. The backyard was beautiful. The owners seemed friendly. I never want to leave a bad review, so I only took one star off for the following. The home has a rental unit in the backyard. So, if you are out using the pool or the barbecue then you could have renters walk right through your party. If you are swimming they have a bedroom window within 10’ of the pool, this isn’t a private yard as advertised. I even talked to the owners about this, and they said, “Sorry for the misunderstanding” No misunderstanding they never said anything about it. They even said they “Thought” they had posted, and they were going to take care of it. Well, we are now 6 days removed and guess what its still not posted so I will post it as I believe its something renters should know.

About the host

Hosted by e: Sylvia Ruiz

Host profile image
We have spent a great deal of time making this our retirement home for when that time comes. To be transparent, we have two houses on this property with the front house as the rental. The amenities that include backyard and pool are not shared with the back house, and the tenant is respectful of the guest privacy. Occasionally you may see her cross the yard to get to the back house. Security camera is installed on property.

Why they chose this property

The historic family neighborhood centrally located to everything caught our eye immediately.

What makes this property unique

Old charm with an updated feel and great backyard my husband created for our hot summers.
