VERY good location! Loved the nearby coffee shop, short walk to lots of fun restaurants and bars. Quiet street, we were a little confused on the parking at first, but figured it out! Not fancy but perfect for us as we explored Tucson and the surrounding area.

Location was great for walking to shops and restaurants.
We had a great 1 week stay in this cute carriage house. The location was great. Lots of nightlife, food, free trolley on 4th street around the corner. Downtown area with similar items is a 5 minute walk. To enhance the stay, the property needs a couple wall shelves with hooks. You could place your things on the shelves and hang your backpack, purse, hat, jacket, etc on the hooks.

It was our pleasure to be your host. Thank you for the wonderful suggestions.
Great location! This is a neat little guest house very close to lots of the coolest old stuff in the 4th Ave area. Right across the tracks from downtown and close to UA, too.
Nice little place in a convenient area. More of a loft style. Good price, happy we stayed there. Parking available off the street.

Good location, stayed here before and it was great. However this time, there was no hot water, the oven didn’t work, and the AC kept resetting to 80F.

So sorry to know your stay this time was less than perfect! In the future, please know we have technicians on call to serve our guests. It is our pleasure to serve you. Thank you.
We are two friends on an Amtrak trip west. We stopped over in Tucson and this little place was perfectly situated for someone traveling by train. It's very close to a lively, funky neighborhood, but the street itself was very quiet. Great coffee shop on the corner and an excellent grocery coop in easy walking distance. The tram is right there, as are docking stations for e-bikes. We were very happy we stayed here.
The place is just what we needed. It’s very close to downtown. The location was great. The property manager was very accommodating and quick to get back with me. We had a great time there.
Decided to visit Tucson at the last minute and the Carriage House fit our needs exactly. Was within walking distant of two different type of restaurant/bar areas with many choices. Also very close to interstate for out of town adventures. Host communicated well.
The location was great for walking to downtown, 4th street area, and cable car. Bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Would be nice if some hooks or hangers were available.

Thank you, Kelli. It was our pleasure to be your host.
We really enjoyed this studio. Walking distance to many restaurants and coffee spots. Parking available, which is huge! Easy access to major roadways to do touristy things. Would recommend!
I really enjoyed the convenience of being within walking distance of Fourth Ave, downtown, and the UofA campus. Empire Market grocery store is just steps away. The next-door neighbor’s cuckoo clock and the Union Pacific trains might be bothersome if you’re a light sleeper. Loved the enclosed patio between the front house and this rear carriage house. I would stay here again.
This is a great studio apartment close to campus and link train.
