Historic but Comfortable Close to U of A
We stayed at this house for a family member's U of A graduation. It fit all of us (multiple generations) comfortably, everyone slept very well, and the kitchen had all we needed. It was clean and updated, but also had nice historic architecture. The location was perfect, and the management was very responsive and nice. We would definitely stay there again.

Tucson Stay
Home was just as listed. Very clean. Easy to access. Great location - very close to UA campus. Had all that we needed. I would highly recommend. Only downside (if you want to call it that) is that the stairs leading up to the extra room with the 3 twin beds is SUPER steep. Other than that, it was fabulous!

Nice home in Tuscon!!
The property was nice and the communication with the manager was excellent. We did not encounter any significant issues. We were missing a pan needed to cook with and the owner went out of her way to drop off a brand new set! Would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

Marketing info was accurate. Fairly humble abode in a good location. Would benefit from more deck furniture.

We really loved staying at this house! The manager is very attentive and the house well kept. It is full of interesting a relaxing spaces with natural light. It worked well for a "working-vacation" spot while we visited our UA student daughter and hiked and ate our way around greater Tucson.

Fantastic
We loved this house. Great location, good parking, nice patio and overall fantastic value. The fourth bedroom is behind a door that does not look like an access door, but it is. The steps are steep, so you need to have agile people to utilize the room. It's a good use of space and kind of a fun room. I would rent this place again.
