We stayed at Alice and Larry's for 2.5 months and loved it. It's in a great central location in a quiet neighbourhood but with close access to everything the city has to offer. Another couple visited us and there is more than enough room for two couples to be comfortable. The house is spacious and seems larger than the pictures actually present. It has everything you would need for a long visit and is very well equipped. The back yard is truly an oasis and we spent a great deal of time there watching the many birds. Alice and Larry are wonderful hosts and new friends. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Phoenix. It was by far the best place we have rented in Phoenix.

About the host
Hosted by Alice Gibb
I am a college professor and I live and teach biology in Flagstaff, Arizona. If you search online for my first name plus my last name (Gibb) and Northern Arizona University then you will quickly find my academic website to see the kind of work I do,
My husband and I have been married for almost 30 years and we have two bookish college-aged boys. We enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, hiking, kayaking, camping and traveling. Because we live in a quiet mountain town, our favorite places to visit tend to be either big cities or beaches. We spend as much of our vacation time on the Big Island of Hawaii as possible!
