Quiet, clean, and great location

The property location was perfect for our visit during the Desert Classic hockey games. Very clean rental with all the necessities included, plus within walking distance of Ziggy's coffee (our new favorite). Owners were responsive and accommodating, especially when our flight was cancelled. Highly recommend.

This is a nice updated condo. The condo community is gated and the pool area is small but nice even though we did not use it. We can tell some of the other condos are with full time residences and not kept up but it was very quit and safe. This was the perfect place for us to be close to our daughters apartment when we come and visit. I can tell the owners go above and beyond to make it as nice as possible.

Arizona property search

My wife and I enjoyed a long weekend in the Phoenix region with friends looking at properties to buy as we plan for our respective retirements. The Lemon Condo was very clean as represented. It was a bit smaller than we expected but was well kept. The pillows could be a bit softer... but that may be a personal thing. Unfortunately the pools not heated. Too bad, that would have been great to enjoy at the end of a long day in the car and stomping around through the brush and cactus. Proximity to the Tempe River and the Fourpeaks Brewery were nice. The owners were very responsive to our inquiries. We'd stay again if in the area.

We found the condo to be perfect for our stay- purpose of ASU graduation. Condo was just as described; owner emailed specific details how to get in. Once inside, info regarding use of internet, tv, dishwasher, etc were all on table, including discount card for groceries. Condo was very comfortable and contemporary- adequate dishes, linens, and toiletries. The balcony was very quiet and secluded. The light rail is a 5 in walk and very convenient. Owner was totally pleasant and willing to answer all questions. We toured ASU, Jerome and the Grand Canyon. Local restaurants were all excellent- had pizza, Indian, Thai and 4 Peaks. Condo is nicely laid out with bedrooms on opposite ends. Both have their own bathroom as well as a walk in closet and tvs. What a wonderful find! We would highly recommend this to family and friends. Would love to return!! If so, next time we would try hiking some of the many trails in the area. Miss this place!

Simultaneous Perks of being on Vacation & Staying at Home!

As an online graduate student of ASU, I had the fortunate opportunity to fly out to Tempe with my husband and parents to attend the ceremony. We stayed in this GEM of a condo. I agree that the owners spared no expense. Everything is extremely organized, clean, and easily available. Most impressive aspects: -Location, location, location! -Transportation options: We walked everywhere and/or took the light rail. I miss being able to walk literally everywhere. We even walked all the way to Tempe Town Lake, Mill Ave District, hiked up the Tempe Butte ("A" Mountain), and walked to/around ASU's main campus. -Options: we were able to go to nearby supermarkets to cook and eat meals at home very easily -Restaurants: there are lots of excellent restaurants nearby -Quiet: The pool was dead but who doesn't like a private pool? We were the only ones using it. -Space: I liked that we had various areas within the condo to spread out and do our own activities like nap, read, make a snack, lay by the pool, or watch TV -The owners: very accommodating and will answer every last question you have I am sad that we left and would LOVE to live there all the time. What a fantastic vacation in a perfect spot under the Arizona sunshine.

Fabulous!

The condo was immaculately clean, roomy & comfortable! The area felt very safe and the community is gated..... We took a nice evening walk to the nearby cvs. We traveled with our teenage daughter & her teammate for a soccer event and the two bedrooms & baths were perfect for privacy between us and them. Thank.you for a great weekend!
