Comfortable Casita in midtown Tucson

Marcia was an attentive and friendly host. She responded to our queries promptly. The casita is an open floor plan and comfortable for 2 people. It is completely separate from the main house and has its own private patio. It is a short bike ride to the paved bike trail, the Loop, and close to some restaurants. We enjoyed our 10 day stay at the casita.

Another excellent stay!

This was our second time staying in Marcia’s casita, and we were very fortunate to stay for an extended period to enjoy winter in Tucson. This place has everything one needs, and Marcia is such a fantastic host. And then there’s the neighborhood - so much to see, do and enjoy! Perfect area for walking, too. Highly recommend 😊

Good energy.

The space was super cute and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Was very close to U of A. I never sleep well away from home, But I did here and Marcia was very responsive. I will stay here again when I go visit my daughter at school.

Great place for a weekend in mid-town

This was a very private, beautifully designed and decorated place. The bed was wonderfuly comfortable, the bathroom very spacious, the kitchen-living room and dining room very workable. One caveat is that there is not a complete separation of the bedroom from the rest of the living area, so if you and your partner are on different schedules, it may be an issue. But still, a really wonderful place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Isbell

Tucson has been my home for over 30 years now, having been raised in the midwest. I am consistently surprised by how great life is! I enjoy international travel, painting and sketching, gardening, reading, and cycling. My greatest pleasure, however, is meeting and getting to know people from all walks of life. Hosting certainly brings interesting and diverse people to my door. And I enjoy everyone of them! "Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling."

There is a loving, big personality border collie who lives on the property!
