Such a cute apartment and well equipped for our stay. It was cozy, quiet and a perfect spot for visiting near AU and a quick trip downtown. We loved the porch, yard, and walking around the neighborhood. We would definitely return! The only issue is that the bed is a little unsupportive and the pillows are pretty flat, so might not be the best if you have a bad back - or you might want to bring your own pillow.

This is a wonderful little Sam Hughes casita with historic Tucson charm. The host is cheerful and helpful and the place is thoughtfully decorated and supplied with essentials. An added bonus is the short distance to Floras Market Run, Himmel Park and the incomparable Tumerico. Highly enjoyable for a short or longer stay.

Perfect casita. Very clean. Perfectly appointed. Convenient location. Quiet area in the historic Sam Hughes neighborhood. Perfect for one , a couple with fur baby or child.
