Excellent stay in historic home
We came to Tucson to watch the very last Oregon State vs U of A game since the PAC12 is no more after this season. Our team may have lost but we took solace in the fact that we got to stay in this beautiful home. Every details has been thought through, a fantastic kitchen, beautiful outdoor space and comfortable furniture. Really enjoyed how walkable the area is. We spent mornings wandering the Sam Hughes neighborhood or UofA campus which made for fantastic walks. One of our favorite breweries (Borderlands) is just a 12 minute walk away. We made plans to come back and stay for a month in the winter and are counting the days!

Convenient to grocery and U of A
This rental was spacious, with three bedrooms not adjoining and an available additional bed/bath. This set-up was convenient for us, booking several months in advance for a U of A move-in, and not being sure if more family members would join us. Two blocks to Safeway, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, and El Beto Mexican. We always had great, convenient food within walking distance. Air conditioning was great during the 105F outdoor heat, and even throughout the house. 76F was the recommended temp - Tucson is very energy conscious. The courtyard is shaded, which was great in the summer heat. Lots of bird action, if that’s your interest. From the back yard, we saw a Cooper’s Hawk and a Northern Cardinal, along with verdin, hummingbirds, and lesser goldfinches. We would definitely stay here again. One thing to note ahead of time - you need to bring your sign-on for Netflix or other apps. There is not a guest account. But the Wi-Fi kept up with our individual entertainment devices. :)

I came to Arizona to attend graduate school and stayed. Why not! The weather is perfect.

Why they chose this property

I love older homes. I purchased this house and renovated it. I lived in it for 18 years and adore the backyard, especially the patio with the fountain and Mexican fan palm.

What makes this property unique

Lovely historic home in the heart of the city.
