About this property

A Gem in the Heart of Tucson

Lic# 20731308 This 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom home is great for events near the heart of downtown Tucson such as The Gem Show, Rodeo, and El Tour de Tucson. The Tucson Convention Center is just a short Lyft or Uber away! This is also a great hide away for days when you just want to take a break from all the activity. Free parking in a gated driveway is a fresh break from parking fees! Mexican restaurants are just a short walk or drive to get your fill of the southwestern cuisine!

Not a gem
We were in town to have ceramic coating installed on our RV and truck so we wanted something in close proximity. This home was convenient, but not in the best of neighborhoods. There was constant foot traffic of what appeared to be unhoused folks, but we were not approached by any of them. The home is older and in need of some updates. PROs: VERY Clean, Very Well Stocked for cooking. There were plenty of cleaning products in shower, linens, blankets, etc. All appliances worked well. The floors were all tile and in good condition. Cons: No window treatments in the master bath, allowing night time lighting to illuminate the bedroom. Ceiling leaked in two locations during a rain storm. Manager was notified for mitigation. We did place towels and then a couple pans under to prevent further mess. These leaks occurred in the kitchen and did not cause any damage to anything. **Dogs adjacent to the property were constantly barking (no fault of VRBO). The entrance/exit door opened on the side of the barking dogs and our last night the dogs barked constantly for twenty minutes while we were trying to go to sleep. Although we would not feel comfortable staying at this location again, it was convenient for what we needed this time. I commend the owner/manager for trying to improve the neighborhood!

Tucson rental home
The house was very well equipped, very clean, spacious bathrooms, and bedrooms. It seamed that the main ptack unit in the kitchen area could not keep that area very warm. In the morning when we would get up the temp in that room would be in the lower 60s. Once the day progressed it would warm up. The parking area is tight quarters especially when you are driving a full sized vehicle. Over all we enjoyed the accommodations. Thanks

Convenient for Travel, But Come Prepared
This property was very close to I10, which made travel to everywhere we needed to go easy. It was also well cleaned. Make sure to bring extra long device cables as many of the outlets are loose and don't hold the cords well. Also, be prepared for the weather. The heating did not work great in all of the rooms, and I expect the cooling during the summer would be the same. Also, if you are sensitive to noise, make sure to pack earplugs as the air/heating units make some noise during the night that might bother some people. Finally, the gate is set up for a padlock, so if you need the extra security just make sure to bring a good lock with with you.

Perfect for what we needed
Nice little house, had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Very close to Walgreens, grocery store and laundromat. Easy access to 10. Would stay again.

Spotless house in quiet neighborhood.
Well-kept secure house in a quiet neighborhood. Convenient to downtown Tucson and quick access to I-10. A good central location for visiting the many venues of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
