What a charming studio! It had everything I needed and was centrally located in Tucson. I enjoyed having coffee in the mornings on the patio listening to birds and staring at the mountains in the distance. Contrary to other reviews I didn't feel unsafe or that the location was in a "bad" part of town. It was quiet and tucked away from busy streets. I hope to stay again the next time I'm in Tucson.

Briza Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Copper House. I have had fun curating and creating the interior. The glass coffee table which is ancient redwood. And the wooden globe fixture above the island. Found at a second hand store. It goes well with the Vasarelli print. Amber and I try hard to maintain a memorable experience.

Great little home...

The casita has plenty of room for two and is well equipped. We stayed three weeks and would have stayed longer had we been able. It's in a great mid-town location where you can be anywhere in Tucson in 30 mins or most of the hiking areas in 30-45 mins. The hosts are responsive and quick to help with any special needs.

About the host

Hosted by michael jones: Amber Adil, co host

Host profile image
Michael is a construction superintendent and Aaron is a U of A graduate, has a keen interest in modern design and has collected all of the Mid Century or Danish Modern furnishings. We collaborated on this project to show that green is good and that small can be big. This building was designed by Rocio Romero, was pre constructed and delivered on a semi from Missouri. It was completed in 10 weeks.

Why they chose this property

We built this house so we could take advantage of the wonderful Tucson winters, explore the national parks and monuments in southern Arizona and enjoy the dessert. We love to motorcycle in this area and the bird watching is incredible

What makes this property unique

While staying at this unique home you will enjoy large windows and the clean lines of a modern home, a private patio and yard, central location only 2.5 miles from the UofA, 2 blocks from a beautiful park and a short walk to shopping and groceries. Views of the Catalina Mountains and a very quiet street will help you relax whether you are in Tucson for business or pleasure, The high quality finishes and amenities are inspiring. Modern architecture is perfectly suited to this city in the dessert.
