This is a side by side duplex style patio home that is conveniently located to many places you may want to go when staying in Phoenix. We felt safe in this neighborhood, but there are some sketchy areas around it, which is often the case in Phoenix. Good things to note were the cleanliness, beds were comfortable, & the sheets were cotton. There were hangers in the closets for shirts/dresses, plenty of bath & kitchen necessities & the washer & dryer in the unit are all pluses.The owner allowing dogs is wonderful, but be aware that next door in the shared wall unit, there are also dogs & for some reason, our dogs did not respond well to hearing them or the street noise- I do not know what- but we left our dogs to go somewhere and they barked nonstop until we were nicely notified by the owner & decided to come pick them up. While not the owners problem by any means, it changed our whole week & we ended up having to make other arrangements for the dogs when we wanted to leave for fear of disturbing anyone & because you can't keep them in the car in Phoenix due to heat- it was a setback. Low water pressure in the shower, no taller mirror to get ready for an event, no microwave, & nowhere off the floor to place your suitcases or put away folded clothes are negatives. Bending over to sift through suitcases during our 8 day stay is not ideal. Owner & neighbors seem nice, but the unit needs additional conveniences for us to consider a repeat stay.
