Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was clean and exactly as described. We especially appreciated the comfortable living room and well appointed kitchen. Please note that the kitchen has a coffee pot, toaster, microwave, pots and pans, dishes and utensils, but does not have measuring cups or spoons. The location was ideal for walks, restaurants and attractions. Our cats really appreciated the big windows and screened doors. Taylor was very accommodating with the changes I requested.

Fun time in Tucson

A small group of us stayed here for one night as we made our way to Saguaro National Park. The place was clean, tidy, and a great location. The only reason I’m giving is 4 stars is because the couch was insanely uncomfortable. The sections are in pieces and on wheels.

About the host

Host profile image
Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)

Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"

Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)

Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO
