Great house and great location
Stayed here for ASU parents weekend and the house was the perfect location. Close to all ASU activities. House had a nice living and outdoor door area and was very clean and well equipped. Internet is a bit slow so wasn’t optimal for working a lot but was enough to get by for a long weekend. Host communications were excellent.

Hygge House Was Perfect!
I rented this house to be close to my 50-year high school reunion events. I shared it with my sister and a friend from MN. The house was perfect for us! Really clean and well-appointed with everything from a Brita in the fridge to shampoo and soap in the showers, to extra towels, to corn hole, Frisbee golf in the back yard! and more. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of spices as well. It was quiet at night and the back patio was a perfect place for morning coffee. Best of all the location in Tempe was close to everything including the airport. I would most definitely rent this house again!

Great House, Great Stay
The house was immaculate, well equiped, and very comfy. We especially appreciated the coffee, sugar, and milk, along with the provided snacks. This kept us from even having to go to the grocery store! We enjoyed sitting in the backyard, even if we did not get to play bocce. A great house - would stay here again.

Great Get-Away in Tempe
We enjoyed our 1 month stay at this home in a quiet Tempe neighborhood. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. I will say it was the best VRBO rental we have stayed in for kitchen utensils and coffee beans provided. We really liked the totally enclosed backyard for our dog and we used the grill and fire pit and the nice patio. This house is on the free Orbit bus line so we were able to hop on and get to the Tempe Art fair and avoid parking hassles. We could easily walk to Meyer Park which was a nice place to take the dog. Overall, the location was good for getting to Scottsdale and Phoenix, in spite of a lot of traffic. The owners of the house were easily accessible and we would gladly stay at this house again.

Amazing long stay
We were at the house for 12 nights for a couple baseball tournaments and everything was excellent! Really fit every need that we had and very convenient to all parts of Arizona. The backyard as everybody has mentioned was really fun and my son and his friends really enjoyed it(they are cornhole experts now!). Also the kitchen was really nicely set up and had everything that you could possibly want to cook there. The big island in the middle also was really convenient to having multiple people in the kitchen at one time. Definitely a must stay!

Lovely stay in Tempe
Very nice house and back yard! The kitchen is very well equipped and beautiful. The living room is very inviting and comfortable. Lots of closet space. Plenty of hot water. Excellent heating and air conditioning system. Sliding glass door from dining room to the backyard. The backyard is perfect for dogs or children. Our dogs loved the backyard. The hosts Neven and Kirsten responded very quickly to answer questions. We truly appreciated them. Neven even added some extra security to a yard gate for our dogs. Some nice restaurants in the area are US Egg, Thirsty Lion and King’s Fish House and Top of the Rock. Great experience overall.

Terrific Property!
This home was the perfect place for our family during our visit to the Tempe area. It's close to Arizona State University and Mill Avenue where we had a a couple for great meals. We were a short drive to the Zoo, Botanical Gardens and Old Town Scottsdale. The home was immaculate. It is very well appointed with a great well thought out layout that worked well for our family and would be well suited for a few couples too. It's like a brand new house with the full remodel having just been finished. The furnishings are very stylish and of good quality. Our beds were all very comfortable and we had great sleeps in the quiet neighborhood. Kirsten and Neven were terrific hosts. Neven greeted us warmly to get us checked in and made some great suggestions that helped us make the most of our stay. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into making this a great vacation rental property as it really had everything we needed. We had a lot of fun playing bocce ball and cornhole in the evening and the firepit was ideal for the cooler night. We were all so impressed that we plan to go back and stay again very soon to take in some Spring Training baseball games. We have already recommended Kirsten and Neven's home to friends. Thank you Kirsten and Neven for making our stay terrific. Dean and Lizzy

Beautiful, Cozy Vacation Home
Our family stayed at the Meyer Park home over the Christmas holiday. The home had everything we needed to cook, relax, and have fun. The decor was tasteful and cozy - and they had cute Christmas decorations, which was a sweet touch. This home has been beautifully updated, inside and out. Kirsten and Neven were great communicators and were available to answer any questions. Check in was super easy. They really wanted to make our stay special, which they did! The kitchen was well stocked with every dish, tool, and appliance you need to cook. There were snacks, spices, coffee, olive oil, and a Brita pitcher. I loved having a Brita pitcher and have never seen one at a rental property. We cooked Christmas dinner and it was a pleasure to cook in this kitchen! The island and large kitchen table made it easy to gather and hang out with our family. We really felt at home here. The living room had a huge comfy couch with lots of games and an array of beautiful children's books. I am a school librarian, so I loved this touch and was impressed with the book selection! The beds and linens were cozy and comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. Bathrooms were clean and updated with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available. The backyard was really amazing! The covered patio was nice because we got some rain, but could still enjoy being outside. The fire pit was wonderful and we used it almost every night. There is even a gas grill, which we used as well. We have stayed at many VRBO and Airbnb properties all over the country and this one was one of the best!
