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.

Cozy Tucson Spot
This was a peaceful and cozy home that had everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped (we didn’t need much but especially appreciated the k-cups and full coffee station). We struggle with sleeping in other beds but surprisingly slept soooo comfortably! Very convenient to UofA campus and nearby restaurants. We will definitely book here again.

Great proximity to UofA
We were in town with our teenagers for a UofA tour. Property is about .5 miles from the campus, and we enjoyed walking everywhere we needed to go. We had a slight snafu with some used undies that were left behind and somehow missed by the housecleaner. That was a little unsettling, but we were able to resolve with the homeowner. Loved the backyard and the front porch macrame chair. Property had many nice thoughtful touches like soap and lotions in each bathroom, coffee/tea in the kitchen. It was a short stay, but we found it had all that we needed.

Perfect House!
I stayed here for 5 nights with my daughters (aged 10 and 14) and my elderly parents. It was a wonderful house. The kitchen is well-stocked for a rental property, the dining room table was big enough to seat 6 comfortably, and the entire house was just lovely. Beds were comfortable and had nice linens. Bathrooms were nice and had nice supplies and touches. We didn't enjoy the outdoors because of the weather (a bit cold/rainy for most of the time) but the backyard looked peaceful and had a lot of space. Communication with the host was super easy and fast.

Close location to U of A
This house was clean, well stocked and very spacious . From soap, shampoo, condiments to coffee everything was available. The owner was quick to answer any question as well. Literally a 5 min walk to Eller business school and close enough to walk to 4th Ave restaurants. We will definitely be repeat customers .

Great house for visiting your students at UofA with your dog
The house is roomy with a big backyard that’s great for dogs. Sleeps 6 people comfortably. Very close (walking distance) to the UofA, which was great while we were visiting our kids who are students there.

About the host

Hosted by Janet

Host profile image
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!
