As always it was a nice stay. Nice neighborhood for walking. Close to the park. Pleasant pool area.Doesn’t need much. The back TV room would be a lot nicer with some lighting. Maybe some lamps.I wish they had at least one firm mattress.Otherwise, everything was great.

Had such a great stay here! The house is clean and well stocked, bedrooms are comfortable and lots of seating throughout the house. It was a great place for a girls trip close to campus and the hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive to anything we may need.

Incredible location and property

The house was absolutely beautiful and such a comfortable place to stay with my group of friends! The neighborhood is great and there’s a few good places to eat and drink that are walkable. Erin was very easy to get a hold of with any questions, but everything was laid out so perfectly that we hardly needed anything. Amazing trip!

Great UA Homecoming Rental

Wonderful property not too far from campus that we had four couples rent for University of Arizona’s homecoming weekend. All rooms and bathrooms were nicely done with everything we needed. The main house had enough room and seating to hang out and the casita was extra cute with an additional living space.

Space is gorgeous, well designed, and artfully decorated. Superb gathering spaces outside and inside the house. Being a short term rental owner/operator myself, I do find it disappointing when owners/management don’t visit and maintain the property to ensure all remains in the condition promised in the listing. Record player was broken, Bluetooth speaker System was inoperable, the exterior of the property needed a pretty thorough cleaning and straightening which I did on arrival, one wall of power in the kitchen did not work leading to the stove and oven being inoperable, and at least one overhead light was burned out or broken. While the management was responsive in writing, the response was not timely to fix the things I reported during my stay and they have as yet been unwilling to compensate me for the listing not being in the promised condition.

We enjoyed the property very much. The pool was wonderful and our 12 year old twins enjoyed having their own rooms. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the weekend.

Charming home.

We loved the character of this home in such a quaint neighborhood! We were on spring break for a mother/daughter trip with friends. Erin was super communicative. It was very hot during our visit, so AC was wonderful in the main house and casita. Pool was great, but would have loved some more lounge seating. (But the girls certainly didn't have a problem lying literally everywhere!) Water pressure was perfect. Enough lounging space for all. Kitchen was stocked, but a little short for 8 ppl (we kept having to wash mugs and silverware.) But that was a minor inconvenience. Very quiet historical neighborhood that was great to walk around. Just a few blocks from Starbucks, fyi. Close to University and fun restaurants.
