Really Great house just a few miles east of the university. Kitchen spacious and bright and Super well stocked with supplies for cooking and great appliances. Beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms (1.5) were nicely remodeled. Backyard was a great place to sit with morning coffee. Owners were very communicative and helpful. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Great little house!

We loved our stay in this cute little house. It was cozy and felt like home with all of the conveniences you are used to. It was close to the bike paths which we used every day and shopping. We ate in for two of our nights which was easy to do with Whole Foods near by. We would highly recommend staying here!

Comfortable Remodeled House

The house was very nicely remodeled in a modern style and nicely decorated. Furniture and beds comfortable. Kitchen reasonably well equipped. The patio in the backyard was a lovely place to sit out for meals. Location was ok but generally convenient to the places we were going.

Outstanding Property!!

This is a fantastic home and location. Beautifully restored and has everything you need. We've stayed at many HomeAway/VRBO locations and this was by far one of the best we've stayed in. Jim was the most attentive host we've encountered as well and was quick to respond and follow up to our questions and inquiries. We loved our stay in Tucson and will definitely come back to this wonderful location in the future!!

Wonderful host, wonderful property

My husband, newborn, and I stayed at this property for 3 weeks. Not only was it very clean, well appointed, and comfortable, but the host, James, was excellent. We had a last minute need to extend our reservation for a few days and James was easy to reach, replied quickly, and was beyond accommodating. We highly recommend this property for your stay in Tucson. Poets Square is a safe and friendly neighborhood that is close to restaurants and shops and only minutes from downtown Tucson. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you!

Immaculate, comfortable home

Spotless home that looks exactly as pictured on VRBO. Excellent communication with host. Comfortable beds and furniture. Had everything we needed and more. Only downsides were low-ish water pressure in shower, and the neighbor's motion detector light that came on repeatedly throughout the night. (Light directed at our bedroom windows.) Neither of those things would deter us from staying here again, however. We absolutely loved everything else about this property. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Gilliland

Host profile image
Your hosts Robert and Jim are very excited you have chosen our little slice of desert heaven. We so enjoy our home with family and friends and hope you too can make some lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

This property reflects our natural motivation to restore something old to a very
modern and functional state without erasing the historic elements that we try very hard to preserve. Tucson has a great deal of history and culture and we can’t wait for you to
absorb some of it and want to come back for more. Our POETS SQUARE neighborhood
is very much in tact from its 1940s creation and we find that very appealing….

What makes this property unique

Our place in this central neighborhood is ideally positioned to be convenient to many
‘In town’ activities including U of A, downtown, the historic ‘vibe’ of 4 ave shops and eateries as well as nearby outdoorsy pastimes like hiking, biking, entertainment and shopping.
