Beware of Sketchy Condo Complex and Neighborhood...
In advance of committing to the VRBO rental, I did research the Deer Valley area of Phoenix and found mostly positive information. However, upon arriving at the condo around 6:00 PM in late January we found this particular complex of buildings to be a bit unkempt with inadequate lighting in the parking areas and multiple safety/security concerns. We had to call the management company to figure out where to park as it was so dark in the lot that we couldn't see the numbers referencing the correct space on the upper border of the structure.
Inside, the condo was clean and mostly as represented. However, the on-line pics showed a shower head but no hint of a bathtub. The shower was actually in a bathtub which I would never have booked as we prefer walk-in showers for safety reasons. Other than that, the pictures of the inside were representative of the condo which would have been comfortable for two people. The big issue was the exterior area and the neighborhood. In the outside area for the immediately adjacent condo there was a man sitting in a chair with fabric cushions smoking a joint. Next to the man was wooden furniture and personal stuff piled high on another chair WITH A GLOWING SPACE HEATER SITTING IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO ALL OF THIS STUFF CREATING A FIRE HAZARD FOR THE ENTIRE BUILDING. Crime stats checked after the fact showed a high crime area with a murder in the vicinity that week. We left without staying!
