Simply the best

This stay was truly wonderful. You can’t beat the location. Close to everything. Our smoke detector battery went low on our second day and Chris was there to replace the battery within hours of me sending the message. The house was so cute and had everything we could need. The beds were comfortable and the location was quiet while still being near the hustle and bustle of Phoenix. Would definitely stay here again if given the chance!
