About the host

Hosted by Chris & Michele

Host profile image
After visiting Scottsdale for Spring training a few years ago we fell in love with everything else the area has to offer (Along with the Spring Training). We love Old Town Scottsdale with its restaurant and art scene along with all the other activities the area has to offer. Michele is an art lover if you cannot tell from the house decor.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a property close to everything and this is it! The property is centrally located and a quick Uber ride to Old Town.

What makes this property unique

The backyard of the home is our favorite place to relax, play games or just sit and watch sports on the outdoor TV. We do have problems falling asleep in the floating chaise lounge chairs.
