My home is on a tree-lined street in Central Phoenix close to Sky Harbor airport, sports facilities, restaurants and shopping. It is a beautiful space with a center courtyard and a pool in the backyard. I have hosted weddings and concerts in the courtyard. The interior is filled with colorful art and furniture. I have a Free Little Library out front. I am a mosaic artist and have many mosaics around the property. There is a smaller casita that I rent long-term.

Notes
Has been used for weddings and concerts, photo shoots and many, many Al fresco dinners with friends.
I have two cats, and you would be responsible for feeding them. They are indoor/outdoor cats, so no cat boxes! There are plantings around the property that you would be responsible for watering.

Hi! My home is in Phoenix Arizona. It is an adobe home in a historic area near downtown, the airport, and major freeways. It is a quiet, shaded neighborhood with lots of walkers; and I have Little Free Library out front. I am a mosaic artist and there are many of my mosaics around the home. I have two cats, Lucy and Zoey. They are inside/outside cats (so no litter box!). My home is filled with art from all over the world. I love it here!
