"The host was very hospitable & always a message away if needed. The house is very eclectic yet tasteful! I went on a morning run daily & the neighborhood was always quiet. Great location. It was a 20 minute commute to Scottsdale. & no more than 10 minutes from the hip restaurants Tempe offer's. I was able to park under the canopy every time I arrived. Everything about the experience was 5 star’s!"
