Great location made visiting U of A easy

My family of 6 were in town for graduation weekend. We were in very close proximity to campus and our son’s apartment which made the weekend easy. House was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and well appointed. I had hoped the kitchen was a bit better stocked with larger pots so that cooking for our group was easier. There was no food storage or gas for the bbq. However, we would stay here again, if we ever found ourselves in Tucson again. Janet our host was so responsive to our requests and very friendly. Overall, great home.

Exploring Tucson with Family

We appreciated access to great food while in town and how easy it was to leave town for site seeing and wine tasting. This was a welcoming house with all the amenities we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Janet

I am a native Tucsonan and a Real Estate Agent. I have recently taken up the Vacation Rental side and thoroughly enjoy it. It is my mission to make people comfortable while visiting Tucson, AZ!.

Why they chose this property

This property is very unique in that it is over 100 years old and sits in an old historic neighborhood. The property has been updated but continues to hold a vintage charm. The split floor plan is ideal for larger families with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom on one side of the house, and the main bedroom and bathroom on the opposite end of the house. The cozy fireplace is made up of volcanic rock from A mountain. The floor is the original hardwood floor from the '20s and the clawfoot tub in the hallway bathroom is original to the house as well.

What makes this property unique

It has quite a bit of on-site parking and street parking with a provided parking permit. The large yard is wonderful for gatherings, children, and or pets. It is very close to all of the wonderful things Tucson has to offer such as food, culture, art, and the yearly Gem and Mineral Show!
