Nice quiet neighborhood. Host furnished food for breakfast which was quite nice. Close to shopping area for groceries, etc. there were birds to watch and a fish pond with fish to watch.

Lots of beds and lounge places. Beds were very comfortable and I’m picky about beds. We loved the outdoor space and hot tub. Having breakfast items available was a huge help and a wonderful plus. Hosts were super great. Lovely note and bottle of wine when we arrived. Already recommended this place to my niece for the next time she has people visit Tucson.

The space was ideal for the six of us. The hosts made us feel very welcome: welcome setup as we walked in; fruit and breakfast foods were really appreciated; instructions for clean up and how to feed the fish. Very nice weekend.

We needed a place to gather and put together a memorial for a family member. There was ample space to lay our items out out comfortably and talk. At night, we could use the cool water hot tub and roast marshmallows. There was plenty of beds and bedding and places to sit. talk.

We were in town for a wedding and hosted the bridal side of the wedding party. It was great to have more beds than we needed, a well appointed kitchen, and a great back yard. The neighborhood was quite convenient and easy to navigate. The neighbors were even super helpful when we needed to find some boxes to transport wedding bouquets and hooked us up.

Overall very good extended stay. The place was clean and beds extremely comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub, also clean & private. Would have liked a handrail to get in and out of the hot tub. If we had any issues or requests, they were accommodating and timely. Appreciated the complimentary breakfast items & pantry. We had someone in our group who needed a walker. Our wish would be grab bars in the bathrooms & the bathroom doors aren’t very wide. The private garden in back was wonderful to soak in the sun by the koi pond.

Home is relatively convenient to restaurants/shops. Neighborhood working class. We simply needed a place to basically sleep, shower, and hang. Very nice to arrive and find basic breakfast, fruit, and Wine!!! Backyard is nice with water feature and hot tub. Tried to get the hot tub to at least 103, but can’t adjust from 101. 2 degrees would move the needle. House is kinda funky with all of the art ; Felt like a starving artist show. It served its purpose for a no frills golf trip and 4 seperate bedrooms are hard to find. Solid hoats

We were six older gentlemen on our third annual golf trip to Tucson. The location and amenities were perfect for us. The house was spotless. The kitchen stocked with breakfast food made it easy for us the first morning. Zak was very responsive when we asked him about using the outdoor grille since it was not listed as an amenity. He made sure the propane tank was filled and everything was in order. This was the best place we've stayed in Tucson so far.
