Oasis in the city

Cannot say enough about the owner and property! It was the perfect escape from the hustle of the surrounding city life. The place was immaculate, the owner incredibly responsive and kind. Very thoughtful!! Milk and bagels in the fridge, all kinds of snacks, wide variety of coffees, heated bathroom floor. The backyard was my favorite! Totally surrounded by greenery for privacy and a perfect place to sit outside and enjoy coffee and the warm breeze with a good book! The neighborhood was great for walking and felt completely safe. Will absolutely recommend and use again!

Everything you need to have a comfortable stay, great backyard patio, easy parking, and a quiet neighborhood. Location could not be better. Easy access to downtown and Camelback park is only a block away. Slept very well on the king size bed and bathroom and shower had everything we needed. Check in and out super easy, could not recommend more. 10/10

Comfy “Boathouse”

This is a very clean, spacious place for two people. It had everything we needed for our four night stay. The private back yard space is a real plus, and the North End location is very convenient. We enjoyed our stay here.
