First, this property was beautifully decorated. For us, to the point that it detracted from it's "livability". It also seemed a little small but that might be a function of being used to more living space at both home and in other condos we had rented in the Fountain Hills area. The location was great which was why the condo was initially considered. Again, this might be a function of personal interests. Kitchen appliances/supplies/utensils were functional.
A few disappointments that, again, may be a function of personal perspective. One was that we had to deal with a property manager. Seems like paying for two different administrative arms is excessive considering that additional documentation had to be signed beyond what was already covered by HomeAway. There is a transformer box on the outside wall behind the master bedroom. It basically buzzed loud enough to be a distraction all of the time. The owner and managers did not seem to be aware that this ever was noticed in the past. Hard to imagine that folks could be so indifferent to a noise in the bedroom. Also seemed to me that the "high speed" internet that requires a surcharge was not functionally that high speed. Theoretically, 5G allows more bandwidth than 2G but true bandwidth throughput is a little more complicated. Anticipated much better performance for essentially twenty extra bucks a week.
Some little things were also a detraction. The baking pan/cookie sheet was rusted and the surface of some of the non-stick cooking pans were a little beat up, and most of the cooking knives left much to be desired. Apparently, no one ever thinks of putting a desk in a rental condo. The cleaning fee also struck me as excessive for such a small place.
On the positive side, the washer and dryer were very nice though smaller models. The view off the back porch was great offering a desert scene greatly enjoyed with the morning coffee or over a beverage with colleagues. Though we did not get to enjoy them to the extent we would have liked, the workout facilities were functional along with the whirlpool swimming pool being a real bonus.
Overall, it was very nice and I would probably stay there again but it may not be my first choice. Certainly, might fit the needs of a casual vacationer or others with more relaxed pursuits in the area than what we had.
