Walk to Light Rail! Private Casita

Minutes away from the baseball and basketball stadiums; the museum district; cultural attractions; St. Joseph's Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute. A short 1/2 block walk to the Encanto/Central Avenue light rail station allows for easy access from the airport. The perfect location for parents to visit college students at Grand Canyon University and Arizona State University. The casita is quiet and on a pretty palm-tree-lined street with Tudors, Bungalows, and Spanish Colonials.

This was a sweet little casita that was perfect for 2. We had a rental car so it was easy to get around and the casita was centrally located. Bed was really comfy and everything you might need was supplied. Really a great space!

Short work trip
Short trip to Phoenix by myself for a work trip. Perfect for me. Close to many things - I chose to Uber since it was still quite warm and I was dressed business casual. Very clean!

Great rental near hospital
Nice casita in walking distance from the hospital. Great for a long term stay if you can deal with not having a washer/dryer/oven. Clean, enough space for one person, great hosts.

Amazing first experience!
This was an amazing stay.The location was a great area and close to where we were hanging out for the weekend. This was a spur of the moment travel decision and finding a location that was close to downtown at an extremely reasonable price. If there a future trips to Phoenix I hope we can be lucky again. This place was a gem!

downtown ease at a cute place
My teen son and I had a great 2 night stay. We took the light rail to a D-backs game in the evening and a conference during the day. Great place. Lovely location amongst historic home. Easy parking. It's a keeper! I only wish there was a freezer to keep cooler packs cold.

Perfect place
The cleanliness is off the charts this place is perfect. It’s like your own studio apartment, easy in and out and very nice. The hosts are very easy to work with, and provide as much privacy as you’d like. Even though it’s on the property it does not feel intrusive at all. Only met him once because we both happened to get back at the same time and very nice and personable. Loved my stay, happy I picked it and would absolutely stay again if I was coming through Phoenix.

Charming Casita
Private casita set among bougainvillea and geraniums; start the day with sounds of mourning doves, wind chimes, and gurgling fountain. Refresh and renew in the sun; easy access to light rail to and from airport. Historic neighborhood of charming homes; within walking distance of many ethnic restaurants. Hosts are welcoming and unobtrusive.

This darling place was perfect for our stay! The hosts were friendly and the place was seriously adorable and clean. Furnishings and kitchen were well thought out and comfortable. Close to downtown but on a quiet street. We walked to the public transit and easily found our way around. Definitely recommend this one and will plan to stay again!!

Great quiet Stay
We were in town for a conference and this location was perfect. The neighborhood is beautiful and being on a dead end street added to the peaceful setting. Our hosts were very helpful and available if we needed anything. Definitely will stay again if we come to Phoenix again.

Perfect!
Sarah was excellent to deal with and the house had everything we needed and more, including a fully loaded binder with local information available. During our stay we travelled to Scottsdale, Sedona and others and all were extremely easy to navigate given the location of West Wilshire. We definitely definitely enjoyed our stay and would hopefully be welcomed back if we find ourselves in Phoenix again.
