About this property

Minutes away from the baseball and basketball stadiums; the museum district; cultural attractions; St. Joseph's Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute. A short 1/2 block walk to the Encanto/Central Avenue light rail station allows for easy access from the airport. The perfect location for parents to visit college students at Grand Canyon University and Arizona State University. The casita is quiet and on a pretty palm-tree-lined street with Tudors, Bungalows, and Spanish Colonials.

Perfect!

We were in town for a concert and were clueless of where a good location to stay would be. This property was close to the airport, light rail, and concert! This would be a great place in a cute little area on a dead end road, to stay for a game. Hosts were easy to contact and very helpful with questions we had about getting around downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

Great rental near hospital

Nice casita in walking distance from the hospital. Great for a long term stay if you can deal with not having a washer/dryer/oven. Clean, enough space for one person, great hosts.

Amazing first experience!

This was an amazing stay.The location was a great area and close to where we were hanging out for the weekend. This was a spur of the moment travel decision and finding a location that was close to downtown at an extremely reasonable price. If there a future trips to Phoenix I hope we can be lucky again. This place was a gem!

downtown ease at a cute place

My teen son and I had a great 2 night stay. We took the light rail to a D-backs game in the evening and a conference during the day. Great place. Lovely location amongst historic home. Easy parking. It's a keeper! I only wish there was a freezer to keep cooler packs cold.

Phoenix Phase of our Big Cacti Vacation

The casita was perfect for our short stay at the end of our Arizona Big Cacti vacation. The location is great, located in a wonderful neighborhood. The casita is very comfortable and well-designed. Our hosts were very welcoming. We would highly recommend it to friends visiting Phoenix.

Perfect place

The cleanliness is off the charts this place is perfect. It’s like your own studio apartment, easy in and out and very nice. The hosts are very easy to work with, and provide as much privacy as you’d like. Even though it’s on the property it does not feel intrusive at all. Only met him once because we both happened to get back at the same time and very nice and personable. Loved my stay, happy I picked it and would absolutely stay again if I was coming through Phoenix.

Charming Casita

Private casita set among bougainvillea and geraniums; start the day with sounds of mourning doves, wind chimes, and gurgling fountain. Refresh and renew in the sun; easy access to light rail to and from airport. Historic neighborhood of charming homes; within walking distance of many ethnic restaurants. Hosts are welcoming and unobtrusive.
