Modern newly remodeled condo in heart of old town scottsdale

Thanks for the kind words. Jill and her family were great. If you could think of anyway for me to improve the condo or a future tenants stay, I’m all ears on how to make the place even better.

Worst tenant I’ve had. She let me know that the kitchen faucet was leaky on Easter Sunday. She expected it to be fixed within hours. I was able to tell her my handy man could come by the next day. She left the key in the lockbox that afternoon while the she left for the day. My handyman came and fixed the sink. She texted me that evening and said “no sign of your handyman coming but the sink works now, and the coffee pot is now broken.” What kind of a sign was she expecting? It got fixed. You would think that’s enough? Was he expected to leave a note or a mess? What kind of sign was she expecting? There were no more communication after that exchange between either of us. Her last text message to me she admitted that the coffee pot glass broke while she was washing it. (It was replaced the day she left.) And there was always a backup Keurig coffee maker in the kitchen (I’ve noticed guest like variety with their morning coffee routine) She’s correct about the blinds. About a month earlier I had rented to a family with little ones who tugged on the blinds and broke them. I was able to fix some of the slats, but not all. Buying, measuring and installing new custom blinds cannot be done fast and I don’t want to bother guests on their vacation with projects going on. So I had to make an appointment in advance to have it replaced. And the blinds were being replaced, not just fixed. Really it was a blessing in disguise, much nicer and updated blinds are now in the condo. As far as the bathroom needing to be updated. Take a look at my pictures, they are accurate, not one other review has said otherwise. I appreciate constructive criticism. Read prior reviews and I take to heart what I need to fix or offer or update. And it happens. She texted me that because of a broken coffee pot and 3 slats missing from broken blinds that it felt to her that she was renting a place on the beach during spring break? That context explains a lot about this review. But her review is her opinion, so it’s what she experienced. I hope all future guests will be able to make a judgement on their own if they would like to book at my place or not. Hopefully my reply gives some context. Please know, things do break, and other reviews have noted that. What should be noted, is that when something breaks it gets fixed. Sorry, but that’s just part of renting a house or condo versus getting a room at a hotel.

If you’re looking to rent a great condo, in a great neighborhood where when something breaks, the owner fixes it right away, then my condo is the right place for you! Please remember, everyone. You are renting a house, not staying at a hotel that has 24 hours a day service and employees. Please note: that what the tenant said was accurate about issues arising. He is correct, a lightbulb was not working the day he moved in, and some blinds were broken and replaced within hours on move in day. He did forget one thing in the review. He called me and complained that my utility closet where the hot water heater is kept, was unorganized and dirty. He cleaned it for me (I don’t know why) and said he should not be charged a cleaning fee because of that. Most importantly, every issue was fixed the same day as reported, except the furnace. That took 27 hours to have fixed from when it was first reported broken.

She was right about the towels. I appreciate the constructive criticism. More towels have been bought. And now some extra bulbs are in the pantry if that problem ever arises again.

Sally was wonderful. She stayed for 3 months. I was more then happy to come over and show her some tips. New TV’s and DVD players can be confusing. And written directions sometimes can’t be explained as well as a hands on approach.

Thanks for understanding that problems sometimes do arise when renting a condo. I’m really sorry that the AC went out. But the important thing was that it was fixed in less then 18 hours.
