1826 N 7th Ave Phoenix, AZ 85007

LOCATION The location is about as central as it gets - easy walk to light rail, several restaurants, a couple of bars, a pharmacy, enncanto park and community pool. There are three freeways within five minutes driving distance, along with a handful of grocery stores, half a dozen hospitals, and any type or restaurant you can imagine. 10 miutes from teh phoenix convention center. The neighborhood is amazing, reminds me of beverly hills, frankly, except with nicer people.

THE SPACE 400sf studio loft with sleeping area accessed by way of a ships ladder - that is, a set of stairs where the rise of each tread is 10" (compared to the normal 5"). The sloped ceilings in the loft make it cozy for medium height folks, and a little cramped for those over 6'0" tall. It's furnished, but you can bring your own if you like, of course. This is an old property - built in 1936 - and it's reflected in the character of the guest house for sure, but it has had some updates -- I just got done with a bunch of them, actually.

PARKING there is a dedicated space that works well for smaller cars - access is tight, but it i protected by a gate, and shaded during the summer months.

PETS: ONLY pets that don't wander off, since proximity to 7th Ave makes for a short life expectancy for pets that do. Also the stairs are pretty steep, dangerous for dogs, IMO but you need to be the judge of that. One large or two smaller pets are OK. Pet fee is $150 non-refundable

***THE OWNER***: Live in the main house. I market myself as a civil engineer, but in my head I am still a juvenile delinquent skatepunk from the '80s. with my 14/y/o daughter part time. I have several projects going on the property at any given time, which I carefully coordinate so as to minimize any disruption to others, especially paying tenants. I appreciate people who communicate well, and please don't hestitate with feedback, positive or negative. I have two other tenants in the main house, both dudes, one is an electrician and the other works in a warehouse.
