Long weekend stay

The property is pretty much as shown in the listing, although a little worn. The bed was very firm, springy and squeaked when we moved. The neighborhood felt safe and the property felt very safe. Nicely centrally located and 20-25 minutes driving to everything we wanted.

Very Accommodating!

I was here while I stared a new job in the area and had to extend a few days due to issues getting into my new home. I texted the property manager and they were able to send me the info right away to extend my stay. No hassle or fuss. Property was clean and well appointed. Property managers were very communicative and accommodating.

Very nice accommodations and location

House was recently updated and very pretty. The location was close to everything with secure parking. The owner was friendly and was very receptive to our needs. The eating area was awkward, because the bar was chin height when trying to sit. We had to stand while having our meals so we ate out a lot. It would not prevent me from staying again.

About the host

Host profile image
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

Knew it would work well, as it has another casita in front of it that we use as a vacation rental also. So if this one isn't open, inquire about one of our other homes. 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.
