Historic Adobe Casita - Private Fully Fenced Yard
Authentic 1940s adobe refreshed for modern comfort: all‑new tile floors, a sleek new kitchen, updated bath, dining nook, and two restful bedrooms with closets. Relax on the shady front porch, then head to the back porch or the 15 × 15 ft pergola—complete with ceiling fan and patio set—set in a huge fully fenced yard perfect for kids or pups to play. Vintage charm, fresh finishes, and plenty of outdoor space all in one inviting home.
Warm Arizona Regards

The Casita was comfortable and close to many restaurants. It looks exactly like the pictures. The host Taylor was very responsive, we had run out of coffee filters and he delivered some right away.I recommend this property if you are staying in Tucson.

Location was excellent, if a bit noisy at night with a busy street nearby. The appliances were all in good shape (we did not use the dishwasher so can't speak to that) and the living room and bedrooms comfortable. Our hosts were very responsive to the one temporary issue we had.

Perfect location and the property was clean well stocked and cool (both in temperature and looks). Hosts were quick and helpful. 100 percent would stay again.
My husband & I had a great 2 night stay. The home was clean & comfortable, with an amazing back patio. This was the 2nd property of Taylor & Yuko's that we've stayed at, and we can't wait to check out another one.
The house is perfectly central location, close to restaurants, downtown and University of Arizona. Very comfortable house and fantastic backyard. Highly recommend.

Nice place and it worked well for me, my husband and our two pug dogs because there is a big yard for them to roam around. It was convenient location and close to a lot of restaurants, shopping etc.. I would definitely stay again if I ever need to go back to Tucson.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house and will definitely stay again. The owners are very easy to deal with and responsive. The neighborhood is ideally located and the house is perfect for us!
HOUSE WAS AS ADVERTISED, COMMUNICATIONS WITH OWNER WAS EXCELLENT

About the host
Hosted by Taylor Bard
Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)
Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"
Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)
Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO
Why they chose this property
We love the neighborhood, with our primary residence just up the street this was one we couldn't pass up!!!
With that said, We absolutely LOVE the neighborhood. You can't get any more centrally located to EVERYTHING to do in Tucson ! Close to U OF A, hiking golf, great restaurants, parks, botanical gardens, malls, downtown entertainment etc, while located in a well established quiet neighborhood that was built out in 1940's.
Please have a Look, they are all very nice properties. They are all - CLOSE TO EVERYTHING - shopping , restaurants, The U of A , and we have 7 other listings so we can acamodate almost any group. We also have tables and chairs for events,, and we go all out to make for the best experience with our events coordinator .
