The property was listed as an apartment but the listing didn't fully convey that it was just on the side connected to a main house lived in

Small studio attached apartment. Overall our stay was fine. Heads up- the fridge is a mini & the full size bed was quite firm/stiff. I have a bad back which is likely why I would not revisit these accommodations. Charles was very pleasant & available for any questions throughout the stay.

Fantastic place!!

From check in to checkout, Charles was a great host! The room was perfect for our needs. Besides the amazing location we needed, it had all the amenities - full kitchen for cooking, laundry machines, and an amazing bathroom space (and more). The patio was shady and relaxing. I would highly recommend this property and will try and reserve it again when I come back.

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!
