This property was great! Easy access, felt safe, and the apartment was very clean. Lots of amenities in the complex. Within walking distance of many (yummy) restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

This is an amazing place clean, the bed was nice and it was in a great location. We attended a concert at the mesa arts center and we could walk. Good restaurants in the area and our host was so kind and helpful. Thanks for making our stay awesome.
The apartment was well appointed clean and inviting. The hose had a clear check-in process and helpful guide. The location was within walking distance of numerous restaurants and museums making for a wonderful stay!
Apartment was fully equipped and safe. The bed was very comfortable. Just be aware, there is no on-site overnight parking. The area is very safe, with good restaurants and dining.

Apt was comfortable and easy to navigate when it came to check in. I also enjoyed that there was a good amount of coffee shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. I would book again if i return to Mesa, AZ. Host was also very communicative and great!!

We didnt use the pool. There were a few people enjoying it, we noticed. It was clean and looked refreshing
The property was great and the host was very quick to respond when needing certain questions answered. Room was super clean when we walked in. Only 1 bugaboo I had was: we had to find parking somewhere else rather than on the property itself. I understand that parking is for paying customers who live at that place, however, if people are paying to stay there, they should have access to the parking spot corresponding to the room. Me and my guest were there for a convention and had some heavy luggage to haul back and forth from a parking spot we finally found after about 30min of looking. Once again i understand the rules of the property but it makes it ALMOST a deal breaker, BUT, other than that, the stay was comfortable and was as advertised.
This was a perfect landing spot for us for our visit to the area. The only challenge was parking, though we were able to find close, free parking. You may have to work to find it if you arrive during a busy time.
Located slightly off Main St., there are lots of options for food and shopping. Most of the restaurants and shops are closed on Sundays, though.
The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us. I am a tall person, so the bed was not as comfortable (Queen-sized) as I needed, but it was adequate.
The host was quick with communication and instructions. We experienced no issues with our stay. Happy to stay here again when we visit next year.

Totally thought it was a hotel, nope poorly appointed vrbo. Place has dorm room decor. Zero charm. Parking is a mess, no loading zones. Didnt expect to have to lug my suitcase in the dark. Just setting up realistic expectations. Location and bed was great.
Couldn’t have a better location in Mesa! Fabulous walkability. The unit and property were clean. Having the pool was fantastic. We would stay here again.
Only things to note that might be less than great for you:
- There is no parking on property but plenty of on street and free parking.
- The AC in the unit only goes to 70°. It was only March and we wish it was a lower temp, especially overnight in the bedroom. I imagine the summer would be a little uncomfy as there is no fan in the bedroom.
- You are responsible for taking your trash to the dumpster which is outside the building. I have lived in many a high rise apartment buildings and always had access to a trash shoot on the same floor.
Highly recommend this spot!

Needed this room in a pinch since it had a kitchen in it for a Thanksgiving stay. For 2 people, the room is perfectly sized. Conveniently located next to the elevators (which was perfect for my disabled wife) and they accept service animals along with a nice dog relief area located just outside the main lobby entrance which was very nice. Only lost 1 star rating due to the facts that there were limited cleaning supplies for use during the stay (no broom or dustpan, no vacuum, no mop, and only 1 generic cleaning spray), loud neighbors on the floor during the weekend, no dishcloths for kitchen use (but there were hand towels and a sink sponge), and very limited parking options (even tho we didn't have an issue since we were able to use disabled parking spots). The host was very responsive and extremely nice. I'm sure they would've responded quickly and appropriately if we had mentioned the items above during our stay, so to be fair, we didn't give them an opportunity to correct the issues mentioned above. The building was very nice, security of the room and building was perfect, and the view on the 6th floor was amazing. We will definitely stay again if needed!

The Good: Clean, comfortable apartment. Good price.
The Bad: Checking in was a PAIN!
Take a selfie, photo of front & back of driver license and credit card. Then they text you the apt# and pass code. Name of bldg didn't match booking.(Asral vs Forge). NO ONSITE PARKING!! Had to park down the street around the corner.
Inspite of nice accommodations, I would NOT stay again!
I recently stayed in this nice little apartment and I would definitely recommend it. The location is great, as it’s within walking distance to various restaurants, making dining out quite convenient. There was an issue with the smoke detectors needing new batteries, but I appreciated that the management was prompt in coming to replace them. Overall, it was a pleasant experience
This property is such a lovely stat. Right in downtown Mesa but not loud or super busy. Easily within walking distance of restaurants. The apartment was extremely clean and confortable. I will definitely stay here again if im in the area.
