Great Private Location
Overall, this is a cute little place and very private. We felt at ease coming and going. Charles the host is very friendly and easy going and can fill you in on a lot of happenings in the Tempe area. After the initial check in, we were left to our "casita" as I liked to call it. The casita is small but very comfortable. There is limited space for suitcases and clothes etc., so just keep that in mind. The neighborhood is very cute, and many people are out and about walking. Overall, it was a good stay.

Terrific stay in Tempe
I am delighted I picked this rental for my stay. Charles is a really friendly, knowledgeable host, and I’d absolutely stay again if I visit the area again. The fresh grapefruit (grown in the backyard) was a great touch!

Charles is a great host.
This studio offers easy access to all things in Tempe and beyond. Hop on the light rail, free Tempe Orbit buss or get on the close convenient freeways to be anywhere in the Valley in a short time. Chicago Cubs Spring Training ballpark is very close. We frequented the Riverview Park for daily walks. Thank you, Charles

Wonderfully appointed studio
We really enjoyed our stay! Charles gave us great info about the area and made us feel right at home. Had total privacy, but felt he was available for questions if we had any. The property is incredibly clean and the outdoor space was perfect for an evening cocktail after an eventful day.

Perfect getaway!
We come to Spring Training each year and this location was perfect. We went to three games, quick Lyft rides, restaurants are close by as well. Charles is a great host. The studio is clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. We really enjoyed the Mexican market that was close by with fresh salsas, meats, dips and tortillas. Bought all the ingredients to cook most dinners at the house. Thank you Charles!

Great location and has everything you need.
Thank you Charles for creating this space for others to use. There is a seperate entrance with a little patio area, great for sitting out enjoying a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Walking distance to local transportation to many types of venues. We were able to walk to the neighborhood grocery store for whatever we needed for our week stay. Loved the frosted skylights that brought in natural light. We came to town for Chicago Cub spring training, hiking and ended our trip at ISM Speedway for the Xfinity race. All these venues and more where so easy to get to.

Perfect
The studio apartment was perfect for our stay. First it is beautiful. Second it designed to make the absolute most of the space and is very comfortable. All essentials provided. The owner is a long time resident of Tempe and will provide excellent tips for the area. In addition his thoughtful gift of grapefruit from his yard was much appreciated. Walking distance to Four Peaks, very nice restaurant, grocery store, light rail and free Tempe shuttle (that goes to ASU campus). We will be back and you should go!

Great stay
The owner is very correct and honest, and helped when I had to change dates twice. The house is small but pleasant and clean (I only missed a real rrfrigerator since there is a frigobar and not a refrigerator, so maybe is better for short time rent). Like a flat but is a nice house good for dogs also.
