Amazing weekend!
This house is adorable with tons of amazing details. The gym allowed me to not miss a workout, which I appreciated! The location is top notch. 8 minute walk to old town, and a short 30 minute drive to Glendale and Peoria which we were traveling to for my nephews baseball games. Host went above and beyond to accommodate anything and everything we needed. Everything was much appreciated, and we had a great weekend!

Uber chill vibe
A friend and I booked our stay at the last minute and we are so happy we did. Gwen and Todd have designed an extremely comfortable space to enjoy for a short 4-night stay or long term visit. Our busy holiday weekend was so much more enjoyable knowing that our hosts thought of every detail designed for our comfort. Add to that, the location of this home is just perfect for a walk through Old Town; and their proactive thoughtful messages prior and after arrival were a breath of fresh air. I will definitely stay here again.

Super Location and a Good Value
We stayed for a full 6 weeks from halfway through January all the way through February. The place has a beautiful location because it's quiet and peaceful, yet right across the Street from Old Town Scottsdale so you can actually walk places--a rarity in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. The house is roomy and comfortable and every effort has been made to make it clean and modern. But the real treat is the communication with the host. Both Gwen and Todd are excellent to work with and I highly recommend this property.

Loved the house
The house is ideally located to walk to restaurants, the grocery store and hiking trails. I appreciated that it was very well equipped with trash bags, dish soap, spices, hair products and hairdryers. We cooked on the grill and was pleased to find the pots, pans and knives to be in good condition. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. It is a small house but perfect for the three of us over Thanksgiving. I highly recommend. I look forward to renting again soon.

First-Class on 1st Avenue Appropriately Named
Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable home located within walking distance to wonderful restaurants, shopping and the Giant's stadium. Communication with Gwen and Todd was great. They checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We did. They also provided special touches throughout the home to make their guests feel at home. Our group of 6 adults enjoyed a fun and relaxing trip and we would definitely stay at First-Class on 1st Avenue again.
