Great room layout

We really enjoyed the room layout plan of this condo. The laundry room is located off the kitchen--very handy. The primary bedroom has a bathroom next to the bedroom and a walk in closet. Also very handy and roomy. The king bed was comfortable. The kitchen could use some replacement fry pans. Two of the bathroom sinks had very low-flow water. Great location within easy walking distance of the Rillito River Park with a loop trail. Grocery stores are nearby.

Could use some improvement

The pool area while very close was disappointing. The chairs available are steel mesh with no cushions and there is no shade available. The development can be difficult to exit from at various heavy traffic times of the day. It is almost impossible to make a left-hand turn onto river road.

Apologies for the inconveniences that you experienced. Unfortunately they are out of our control. During the AM/PM rush hour, a u-turn can solve the River Rd. issue. As for the condo itself, happy it lived up to high expectations!

Wonderful experience

This was our first time using VRBO, I was very hesitant to try this but this property was wonderful. Great location, walking distance to Trader Joe’s for grocery’s, the walking/biking trail was a few steps away from our condo. The Saturday and Sunday market was just down the street (easy walking distance) and we attended each day. The owners have the condo supplied with all your basic necessities. The kitchen is modern. The master bedroom, bath and desk room was wonderful. Highly recommend this property. We would for sure use this same property if we come this way again. Thank you.

A good, small condo in a nice location

The condo is a bit small (2-3 folks max), but in a good location. You can walk next door to have a fine meal in the small courtyard mall. It’s relatively quiet and safe. All doors/windows are alarmed for your protection. To be brutally honest, the beds are pretty worn, and the the furniture is fairly low quality. The A/C is loud. The window screen in the 2nd bedroom has huge holes in it. None of the doors have screen doors, so if you’re airing-out the place, bugs are a possibility. The small deck is decent, the view, OK. Overall, it served our purpose since we only used it to sleep in. The location is good, and the place was very clean.

Appreciate your feedback, Russ, and happy that you enjoyed your stay. The condo is listed at 1100 sq. ft. and, because we have minimal flying insects in AZ, none of the units in our complex nor others have screen doors. Our couches and chairs are Natuzzi Italian leather from Copenhagen, and we had just added new sheets and comforters before your arrival. Thank you for your feedback on the A/C. We have plans for a new system for the 2023 season.

Great location but a little small for two couples

The condo is right on the Tucson Loop bike trail and very close to other attractions. Good dining options and a Trader Joe’s are a short walk away. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are clean and nice, particularly the master bedroom. The living room is small and a bit awkward for four people particularly with one of the two chairs broken. There is a small dining table but there are only two chairs that work. The bar looking into the kitchen had three chairs. Finally, while most convenience supplies were adequate, we arrived to find only partial rolls of toilet paper, no bath soap and empty boxes of tissues necessitating a quick trip to the store. For the rental price we paid, that was a little annoying.

We appreciate your feedback, Gary. Good to hear you mostly enjoyed our condo. As you are the first to make comment, and we were unaware of the chair issue, it has now been replaced with one more comfortable. As for household supplies, they should have been ample, and we were remiss. I have reported it to our housekeepers, and it will be corrected. I hope you have received the Starbucks card for your troubles.

Checks all the boxes

Well located to get to parks and downtown. Restaurants nearby. Quiet and comfortable, and the shower was excellent. Everything actually works in the kitchen (and if you've leased a few dozen of these you know what I mean). Could use a few more pots and pan, and most of the cans and boxes of food in the pantry were way past use-by date, but that's just FYI. This is not an elegant unit. Just a very solid, very functional, quiet and comfortable base of operations. The owners are very nice and all went easily with the booking, arrival, departure, and refund of the deposit. We would use it again, most certainly.

Nice property...questionable security

Overall a nice place to spend a few days until it ended badly. The property was comfortable and matched the description. Two important items however-- We had to call the owner to get the building and apartment numbers. They were not provided before we arrived even though we asked if the address info was sufficient to find the apartment. Even more troubling was a midnight attempted break-in. We had to call 911...very scary...so we left a day early. The owner said she was sorry and surprised.

Our apologies for your experience. We have been owners at Placita Escondida for 15 years and have had no such incidents at our complex. This foothills neighborhood has generally been safe and secure. My husband and I live only 5 minutes away and, had we known, we could have been there to assist you. Regretfully, we did not have that opportunity. We have notified our HOA about this rare occurrence and they are looking into it as well.

Good Tucson homebase

Good location for exploring the area. Clean, roomy comfortable. Lots of parking, Was a bit confusing to find, sits back away from main road about 100 yards past the apartments in the complex. Quiet location. Would give a 4.8 due to noisy air unit in evening if trying to watch TV and lack of beer bottle opener and pizza cutter, lol. Overall good place for two couples.

Comfortable condo, great location, great weather. A bonus for us, as we had rented bicycles, is that the condo is right beside the bike path. It is also close to hiking and Trader Joe’s is a five minute walk. There are pubs and restaurants in the area. Last, but not least, there is a Pilates studio a two minute walk away.

Best Condo Unit possible!

This corner unit is absolutely perfectly situated. Actually, let me take that back... if it was within walking distance to a Catholic Church, it would have been perfectly situated. But it is right in the middle of a 7 - 12 minute drive to several Catholic Churches that we were able to go to for Holy Mass everyday of our stay. Not to mention, this place was only about a 35 min. drive to the beautiful, historic Mission San Xavier del Bac. This National Historic Landmark, was founded as a Catholic mission by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. Construction of the current church began in 1783 and was completed in 1797. The oldest intact European structure in Arizona, the church's interior is filled with marvelous original statuary and mural paintings. It is a place where visitors can truly step back in time and enter an authentic 18th Century space. There is no admission charge. Check and see if you can go with a guide to the museum - that made it so much more memorable for us, as things were explained that might have been missed if we toured on-our-own. The gift shop featured hand made baskets made by the Tohono Nation for only $15. Mass schedule is listed on the website, just Google, Mission San Xavier del Bac and you will be able to read all about this Mission, its location, History, Special Events and more. It is a must see even if you are not Catholic. This is a piece of history that is of interest to many. Ok, about the condo itself..... the furnishings are very high end. Every kitchen tool, pot or pan, you need is at your fingertips, and when we were there we were happy to find a bottle of olive oil that we used to make salad dressing. Other spices too really came in handy. There were plenty of quality towels and the Washer and Dryer made it possible to pack less. Great WIFI safe, comfortable. We used the BBQ on condo grounds, bought briquettes at Trader Joe's. The condo is a located just steps away from a locked gate that leads you to "the loop", a paved walking and bicycling trail. It also makes it possible to walk quickly to Trader Joe's and a pretty good fast food Mexican Restaraunt called Costa Vida. Right next door is St. Phillips Plaza that has a great farmer's market every Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. - 12 noon. Lots of ready-to-eat and crafty vendors. Restaurants open if you want a sit down meal. The owner of the condo was very attentive, although we didn't need a thing once we found the place.
