We felt right at home and found everything that we needed. Plenty of towels - huge thank you - most properties we have stayed at didn't provide enough towels (especially wash cloths) for the stay. Very clean and secure.

Enjoyed our stay at Gem of AZ

My dogs and I enjoyed our stay in the Gem of AZ. The home was clean and in a great location near the UofA and city center. I would stay here again!

This was a cozy location right in the center of the city. The neighborhood was perfect for walking our dog, and had a fully fenced-in, large lot for her to walk around in. It was clean and great for our little family. It had a comfortable living space to relax, watch tv, and read. There was a fully equipped kitchen, and the beds were quite comfortable. The communication with our host was top notch. I will absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Tuscon.

Excellent stay in Tucson

The house is close to downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona. There was a large park nearby to walk my dogs. The home was very clean and perfect for my dogs and me.

Sanctuary in Scary Neighborhood

The house was mostly, clean. I did pull out the trundle in the living room and was met with crumbs. The shower and kitchen were clean enough, though. You need to park your car inside the gate in order to ensure it's safe. It's kind of a production to deal with the gate if you're coming and going a lot. The first night I was there, there were 2 gunshots on the block, so a little scary. Also, there were lots of stray dogs and some weird people out and about. For what it is, the price is right.

Try the fish … but cook it elsewhere

Booking was simple and stress-free and property manager mostly responsive. Minimal information on local amenities provided by property manager, so best to do your own research and planning. Property conveniently located within a short drive of the airport and Kino Sports Complex (if that is what brings you to Tucson). Photos/description on listing did not make it clear that access to the bathroom requires walking through second/smaller bedroom. Thermostat/climate control is not super intuitive and it took some doing to find a comfortable temp. Decor is dated if that matters to your satisfaction. Very minimal/basic kitchen amenities, so plan to eat out or bring/buy your own cooking spray, basic spices, etc. Property located in an older, more depressed section of Tucson if local color and flavor be your aim.

Stay in a pinch

It’s a spot to rent if you are looking for a short term rental in the South Tucson area. It comes equipped with a gate as well as furnishings inside. One of the best things about my stay here is a discovered a place called Pico de Giyos. It’s a beautiful and cozy spot that may be small, but it’s big on flavor. While everything on the menu is delightful, their shrimp tacos are the true standout. Perfectly cooked shrimp are tucked into soft, warm tortillas and topped with fresh, flavorful ingredients that create a burst of taste in every bite. Each taco has the ideal balance of textures—crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy on the inside, making them a must-try for seafood lovers. Another highlight at Pico de Gallo is their beans. Often an overlooked side dish, the beans here are rich, creamy, and packed with a depth of flavor that’s hard to forget. They pair perfectly with any dish, especially the tacos, providing a comforting and satisfying complement to the vibrant flavors of the shrimp. This spot is more than just a meal; it’s an experience that celebrates authentic Mexican flavors with heart and precision. For anyone craving fresh, authentic Mexican food, Pico de Gallo delivers in every bite.

Clean but not what we expected

The unit was OK, just not what we really wanted, it is on us, location was OK, easy to get to everything. More and more the units don't have a TV that allows you to watch local news, etc... No washer and dryer (on us, didn't read fully). No real closet, just storage room with some limited hanger space along with all the cleaning supplies, etc.. It was OK, we know better next time.

Comfortable

Mark was a wonderful host. There were a couple things I needed to contact him for and he responded immediately. Living room seating was very comfortable. Large bedroom. The only thing I would have liked is a little more lighting over the dining table.
