This property was great! Easy access, felt safe, and the apartment was very clean. Lots of amenities in the complex. Within walking distance of many (yummy) restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
By far the most welcoming and accommodating stay I’ve had in the PHX metro area. I would go back in a heartbeat. The unit was beautiful and had everything needed to make you feel right at home.

This is an amazing place clean, the bed was nice and it was in a great location. We attended a concert at the mesa arts center and we could walk. Good restaurants in the area and our host was so kind and helpful. Thanks for making our stay awesome.
Apartment was fully equipped and safe. The bed was very comfortable. Just be aware, there is no on-site overnight parking. The area is very safe, with good restaurants and dining.

Apt was comfortable and easy to navigate when it came to check in. I also enjoyed that there was a good amount of coffee shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. I would book again if i return to Mesa, AZ. Host was also very communicative and great!!

Listing on hotels.com states there is parking, but there is NO reserved parking. You will be forced to find parking on the street, and you may or may not have to pay for it. Going through the pre-check in process was painful, they use lousy apps to get your deposit, ask for ID, and finally let you know there won't be parking. Options in this area are limited, not sure if we'd stay here again.

We didnt use the pool. There were a few people enjoying it, we noticed. It was clean and looked refreshing
This was a perfect landing spot for us for our visit to the area. The only challenge was parking, though we were able to find close, free parking. You may have to work to find it if you arrive during a busy time.
Located slightly off Main St., there are lots of options for food and shopping. Most of the restaurants and shops are closed on Sundays, though.
The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us. I am a tall person, so the bed was not as comfortable (Queen-sized) as I needed, but it was adequate.
The host was quick with communication and instructions. We experienced no issues with our stay. Happy to stay here again when we visit next year.

Totally thought it was a hotel, nope poorly appointed vrbo. Place has dorm room decor. Zero charm. Parking is a mess, no loading zones. Didnt expect to have to lug my suitcase in the dark. Just setting up realistic expectations. Location and bed was great.
Couldn’t have a better location in Mesa! Fabulous walkability. The unit and property were clean. Having the pool was fantastic. We would stay here again.
Only things to note that might be less than great for you:
- There is no parking on property but plenty of on street and free parking.
- The AC in the unit only goes to 70°. It was only March and we wish it was a lower temp, especially overnight in the bedroom. I imagine the summer would be a little uncomfy as there is no fan in the bedroom.
- You are responsible for taking your trash to the dumpster which is outside the building. I have lived in many a high rise apartment buildings and always had access to a trash shoot on the same floor.
Highly recommend this spot!

SECURITY DEPOSIT FRAUD
Upon checking in we noticed damage to a lamp and reported it to the owner over the phone (as this is an apartment complex and they rent out apartments so there is no front desk). We sent photos as well.
When we left they charged us $100 and notified me they were charging me for the lamp. I replied and showed them the photos that were taken when we checked in as well as myself contacting them and providing that information right away. The aardvark company who does the booking replied their "cleaning team" said there was no damage prior to our check in. I asked for what evidence they had, as well as asking for an itemized invoice of the lamp price. They told me the charges were going to stay, wouldnt provide me with an invoice for proof and said to contact Hotels.com. I am currently disputing the charges but will NEVER stay here again.

Needed this room in a pinch since it had a kitchen in it for a Thanksgiving stay. For 2 people, the room is perfectly sized. Conveniently located next to the elevators (which was perfect for my disabled wife) and they accept service animals along with a nice dog relief area located just outside the main lobby entrance which was very nice. Only lost 1 star rating due to the facts that there were limited cleaning supplies for use during the stay (no broom or dustpan, no vacuum, no mop, and only 1 generic cleaning spray), loud neighbors on the floor during the weekend, no dishcloths for kitchen use (but there were hand towels and a sink sponge), and very limited parking options (even tho we didn't have an issue since we were able to use disabled parking spots). The host was very responsive and extremely nice. I'm sure they would've responded quickly and appropriately if we had mentioned the items above during our stay, so to be fair, we didn't give them an opportunity to correct the issues mentioned above. The building was very nice, security of the room and building was perfect, and the view on the 6th floor was amazing. We will definitely stay again if needed!
