Welcome to Phoenix!
322 N 12th St. Phoenix, AZ 85006
Thank you for choosing to stay at our home! Please let us know if we can do anything to help you make your stay more comfortable. We’re lifelong Phoenicians and are happy to provide recommendations on restaurants, attractions, and nightlife!
A few general notes regarding use of the house and your stay: (A copy of these notes is in the binder next to the TV.
Once the house is ready for you, we will send you the current door code in the messaging system in the AirBNB app with some general instructions. Please do not arrive at the house until you receive this message from us.
Please close the lock box after opening it during your stay in case it rains so that it does not rust the inside.
IMPORTANT: Its extremely important that you view the CHECK IN INSTRUCTIONS section of the app before you arrive. This is a separate section in the app, and is not the message that you will receive from us with the current door code.
This section contains step by step instructions with pictures that show you the location of the house, where to park, and were to find the lock box. We ask that you view this as some of the houses look similar and try to avoid the situation where a guest accidentally disturbs a neighbor.
Air Conditioning and Heat:
The Nest thermostat is different than the old model. It does not turn (you will break it off the wall). The outer rim responds to touch and tap. Message us with questions if you have difficulty.
Please make sure to close and latch all windows when leaving or checking out.
Cooking
Light cooking is permitted. There is an induction cook top under the counter.
**Reminder of the house rules agreed upon during booking:
There is no frying permitted of any kind or cooking of pungent foods that would prevent us from turning the house over for the next guest.
Never dump grease or oil of any sort down the sink. Doing so will result in a $250 charge. We do not want to charge you, nor deal with the headache of clogged pipes. Any oil or grease should be left in a glass or cup. Cleaning is more than happy take care of it for you.
Please wash all dishes. They may be left in the drying rack.
Parking
Parking: The most convenient place to park is on the street in front of the house, as its a short walk up the path to the front door. There may be parking available behind the house if you prefer, but it is a further walk because there is no back entrance to the house. If you prefer to park off street behind the house, please message us and I can give you directions on where to park. Please do not block the driveway.
You may also park on the street in front of the brick house. There are no parking restrictions, and you are welcome to leave your car there if you have a late flight the day of check out.
Toilet
Please do not flush anything down the toilet other than toilet paper. Please do not flush flushable wipes. It is a long way to the main line which runs to the street and the pipes are old in the historic neighborhood. Please place anything else in the trash can.
Internet
The Wi-Fi network is ‘GarfieldNFriends” The password is ‘ODiE326’
Trash
Please use any of the trash bins located outside. The black bins are for trash and the blue bins are for recycling.
Please do not place trash or non-recyclables in the blue recycling bin. The city will fine us $250.00 if we violate their strict ordinance.
Laundry
The door out the back of the kitchen is locked. It contains a laundry room which we use to clean sheets for the other neighboring hood houses. We are happy to make it available for guests staying longer than 3 nights. Please message us for instructions and the current door code that is only accessible from the back of the house. Feel free to lock the interior lock chain as cleaning will not enter during your stay.
Pets

IMPORTANT
We want you to enjoy your stay in our house, and we hope you choose to stay with us again the next time you come back to Phoenix! We realize that much of the following should go without saying, however by staying with us you agree to the rules and guidelines in this binder.
There are no parties of any kind. The neighbors will report any wild activity or groups involving more than 6 people in the house. Please contact us with questions or concerns.
The sewer lines in the historic neighborhood are very old. Please do not flush anything other than toilet paper. To avoid clogs, please limit the amount of toilet paper in each flush. Please only use the full flush button.
Also, because of the 100 year old sewer pipes, do not pour oil or grease down the drain. As a friendly reminder, we do not permit frying of any kind.
Please return both the TV remote and the Fire TV remote to the labeled area in front of the TV. Lost remotes will be charged accordingly.
We advise that you do not launder quilts or comforters. Improper care will damage them, and we strongly recommend that you allow the cleaning service to treat them. Should there be permanent stains or damage to the bedding, the cost of replacement will be deducted from your security deposit. Missing bedding or towels will also be deducted accordingly.
There is no smoking of any kind in the house. Please do all smoking on the patio and dispose of all cigarette butts. Any illegal drug use will involve immediate cancellation of the reservation without refund.
No pets. If you choose to bring a pet, your stay may be cancelled without refund

Getting Around
Bikes and Scooters
There are rental bikes located one block north on Indianola and 3rd street. You can reserve and rent them with the Social Bicycles App. This is one of the best ways and least inexpensive ways to experience downtown as there are rental bike racks located all over the area.
There are also rental electric scooters located throughout the neighborhood and downtown area.
Lightrail
The closest lightrail station is about 5 minute walk directly south of the house on 12th st and Washington/Jefferson. The light rail runs eastbound toward the airport on Jefferson and westbound toward downtown on Washington. To get a list of the next few arrival times, simply text 10030 for westbound and 10015 for eastbound to the number 22966. This will connect you to Tempe, the Airport, and downtown, among other areas.
Rideshare
Lyft and Uber are a great way to get around. Because of this house’s location, they tend to arrive in about 2 minutes, so we recommend that you be ready to leave when you call them. .
Places We like to Eat :
Welcome Diner
Gallo Blanco
Forno
Roland’s
Pizzeria Bianco
Tratto

We’re here to help!
Please don’t hesitate to message us via the AirBnB app or text us at 602.448.0565 if you have any questions, concerns, or are looking for recommendations. We want to make sure your stay in Phoenix is comfortable and memorable. We recommend messaging though the app first for the fastest response.
We would be incredibly grateful if you would leave us a 5-star review after your stay. AirBnB considers anything less than a 5 star rating the same as a 1 star rating. We therefore rely on you to continue to allow us to make this house available to others. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvement, please call, text, or leave it in the private feedback on AirBnB after checkout. We value your suggestions and are looking to improve! We of course are planning to leave you a 5-star rating in return!!!
