The property is very cute, clean and comfortable. It is conveniently located near Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Phoenix. The decorating is simple and attractive and appears to have a recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is well enough equipped though it could use a new coffee maker. It is advertised as sleeping 11 which is true. However, the casita is too small to comfortably accommodate 11 people. We had 6 adults staying there for 1 week. More than that would have been tight. I can’t comment on the pool because the weather was not warm enough to swim. All and all we had a very enjoyable stay at Casita Arizona.
The lication
Very good
The Martinez Family's Casita Tempe was the perfect jumping off point for our family of 8. The casita itself was very clean, cozy, and well stocked for accommodating our large group. Our family enjoyed the time we spent there! It was also a perfect location for us to get to Gilbert, Tempe and Chandler quickly. The pool and jacuzzi were a nice perk as well. We would definitely consider staying here again especially considering the personal attention and prompt replies we got from the hosts. They were super attentive and helpful not only during our stay but in communicating all along the way. The Martinez Family knows what they're doing as hosts!
The location was good and the facility itself was good. The only 2 things was the patio lights did not work the second day and when the door was open a very strong smell came into the apartment. It smelled like septic tank.
Excellent hosts who were very helpful, clean and comfortable.
Nice place to stay with big family. Great location to the college. We enjoyed our time here.
We visited family and the location was perfect! Close to highway, airport, and everywhere we had planned to go. Very clean and great for young children .
This was a wonderful place to gather with old friends and catch up. The place was squeaky clean, with comfortable furniture and beds, in a great location. The owners responded instantly to the few questions we had, were pleasant and extremely helpful regarding local restaurants and grocery stores.
This is a very nice smaller property and it received a 5 star rating. 2 things I would improve would be the mattresses in bed rooms 2 and 3, they are not very comfortable. The master bed is very comfortable. The second thing would be the shower knob in master bath, it’s difficult to turn off and tends to drip. Other than that this is a very nice smaller unit.
