Fantastic location and house, Janet the host was a responsive and helpful.The back yard with a grill, sofa and hot-tub are the highlights but every aspect of the house was great. I felt safe in the neighborhood, the driveway was spacious, the amenities are in great condition and it's a really relaxing and beautiful home away from 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.

Big rooms, but cozy house!

I was surprised by how big the rooms were, especially for an older house. It was quiet and comfortable. We loved the big dining table and gravitated to it to play board games. The location near campus was perfect near my son's dorm (easy 10 minute walk) and also easy to get around from there. The host was responsive when I had questions.

Great location if you are visiting U of A students! I highly recommend this house for your next stay in Tucson. Safe, spacious, and dependable. Clean! Electrical outlets working! Plumbing and water pressure! TV! Etc! The entire experience staying at this house was 5 stars and I highly recommend it. Hoping we can stay here again for our next visit.

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.

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.

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.
