We had a great time at the house, and Kevin seemed to think of everything you could possibly need. We especially loved the game room with foosball and the record player. Also great backyard for morning coffee.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! The speakers in the foosball room were actually built by my grandfather and provide a deep, warm tone for all music...particularly good with records!

Three months at the Tohono O'odham House went by way too fast. The location was perfect for us and felt very safe. Whole Foods, Walgreens, the University and a great art film theater, all within a mile.The kitchen is well stocked and there's a ton of literature describing local attractions. The beds were comfortable and back yard, very private. Host, Kevin, a charming fellow, clearly wants guests to enjoy their time in Tucson. We wouldn't hesitate to return here. It was perfect for us.
