Graduation weekends

The cute house was perfect for additional guests for graduation weekend. It was adorable and worked out perfectly. Location was close to university and 4th street - host was very easy to work with and accommodating. Parking passes worked out great.

Tucson Spring Break

Very convenient property to all the places we wanted to visit. Hosts were very attentive to the issues we had. Only problem was the bathtub is unstable and rocks when showering. Simply fix I’m sure. We will definitely stay here again.
