We loved our stay in this cute little house. It was cozy and felt like home with all of the conveniences you are used to. It was close to the bike paths which we used every day and shopping. We ate in for two of our nights which was easy to do with Whole Foods near by. We would highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Gilliland

Host profile image
Your hosts Robert and Jim are very excited you have chosen our little slice of desert heaven. We so enjoy our home with family and friends and hope you too can make some lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

This property reflects our natural motivation to restore something old to a very
modern and functional state without erasing the historic elements that we try very hard to preserve. Tucson has a great deal of history and culture and we can’t wait for you to
absorb some of it and want to come back for more. Our POETS SQUARE neighborhood
is very much in tact from its 1940s creation and we find that very appealing….

What makes this property unique

Our place in this central neighborhood is ideally positioned to be convenient to many
‘In town’ activities including U of A, downtown, the historic ‘vibe’ of 4 ave shops and eateries as well as nearby outdoorsy pastimes like hiking, biking, entertainment and shopping.
