The Watermelon - vintage arty studio near Downtown

The Watermelon is a bombastic creation of a Phoenix-native designer, who was given limited space, and challenged to create an unforgettable experience. The result is the polar opposite of “beige” and “boring.” The space isn’t all look, though - we carefully thought through the inside and outside remodel with a short term rental in mind, and provided everything you need for a relaxing and private stay. This is a new listing from a top Phoenix Airbnb Superhost with a 600+ 5 star ratings. WELCOME!
