Comfortable stay at this cute historical bungalow close to UofA . It was walking distance to everything and we didn’t need a rental car to enjoy great restaurants and the entertainment district. Will keep it on our list when visiting our student.

Great location

Our stay in the casita was just what we wanted. It was close to U of A and in the historical residential district. The neighborhood was noisier than expected and I struggled a bit with the key-lock mechanism. The house was clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable.

Tucson Hiking Home

Overall great stay. We could walk to everything we needed and it was a great central location for various Tucson activities and hiking spots, which was the main reason for our stay. Very close to the university and off-campus housing. We stayed during the week, but noise at night might have been too much on the weekend due to the campus proximity. Place was clean.There was an extra charge for some of the amenities that are listed as available, such as a pack n play.

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the central location and found it convenient for exploring Tucson and hiking. It’s great to hear the home was clean and met your needs. We appreciate your feedback on the extra charges for some amenities, and we’ll look into how we can clarify that for future guests. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future!

Nice location

This property is close to the University of Arizona, so there are restaurants and other amenities within walking distance. We used it as our base camp to explore Tucson. National Parks, botanical gardens, museums, art galleries - all easy to get to. It worked really well for the 2 of us. The house was clean and comfortable. Tucson was great. We’ll be back - still so much more to see.

Cute 100yr old duplex

The location is exceptionally close to UofA. The house is very charming and has nice old-world details. It is comfortable for 2 people, but it is small. It had everything we needed for our week-long stay. It has the quirks of a 100-year-old house, but it worked well for our visit but we love old houses. Time Market, a few blocks away, is a gem for lunch, coffee, beer/wine, snacks. The backyard is not completely fenced if you are bringing a dog. Communication was great.
