Great cozy place close to everything!

Came to Tucson to visit my daughter at UOA. This place is super close to campus and right off of 4th Ave and Congress where so many cool shops and restaurants are located! The house was clean, cozy and the bed was very comfortable! Definitely would stay here again.

Iron Horse is rock solid!

The location is excellent, house was clean and hosts were responsive. I would recommend this house because it's in walking distance to fourth, hotel, Congress, and close to the University.

This cute place was right next to all the night life. It came with a parking pass and there’s cute details like a guestbook that you can add to and retro kitchen appliances. I would definitely recommend!

Great property - in the heart of it.

Just a quick one night stay to swap a puppy with my cousin and his wife from California (we came from Austin). House was very clean and looks just like the photos. Parking is a bit tricky, but manageable with the parking permit provided. Great location especially for those who like a little nightlife.

Cute place

We liked the location a lot, since we could access the trolley easily. Our weather was COLD and the furnace was unable to keep the condo warm sometimes, but not your fault. We suggest that many people, including us, do NOT like microfiber sheets. We hope cotton sheets without fragrance will be considered as a better option. I'm very sensitive to chemicals, so had to buy cotton, fragrance-free sheets and pillow cases in order to sleep.

Our stay was spectacular! The house is in a great location and was completely spotless when we arrived. We enjoyed being able to walk downtown and catching the street car about a block away. We arrived at night and very much appreciated the lights that were left on for us and some cold waters in the fridge. I can’t recommend this place enough! We would definitely stay here again as it exceeded our expectations and completely as advertised. I also really liked that the screen door was incredibly sturdy with a dead bolt. It made us feel safe and secure at night. My only recommendation is the directions to the entrance of the apartment. Instructions stated the entrance was on the right hand side of the building and we didn’t see the key pad for the door behind the screen door. So we walked around to the back on the right hand side and put the code in what we now know is the neighbors back door. Hopefully we didn’t frighten them by trying the code multiple times. Thanks so much for the hospitality!

Well kept property close to Fourth Avenue

The apartment (duplex) was clean and in great condition. Instructions were accurate and we never needed to disturb the host. Had a Keurig coffee maker with some pods but we grabbed a favorite for the short stay.The bunk bed worked, but probably best for kids.This property is in a great right off 4th Avenue so there was no shortage of noise as the bars nearby closed down on weekend nights. Our stay occurred when UofA was in session. That does not reflect on the property, just an observation. The price of convenience to the action.Would stay here again with the right size group or with 2 adults sharing the main bedroom.

Nice Tucson Stay

We would have said excellent location but for us old ladies the night life noise was disruptive at night. But it was convenient to 4th, the University etc. overall it was a very nice stay and the place was very well equipped. Thank you Christopher!

Iron equis

Generally speaking, it was a really a great place. Only reason I didn’t give it five stars was some neighborhood street noise and the lighting in the bathroom areas were dim, especially for shaving, etc. quite small potato's, so 4 1/2 stars in my book…

Nice Place

This was a nice place to stay and was surprisingly quiet for the location. We only needed one room. The bunk beds may work well for children. The cost is rather high but I suppose that's because of its location.

Great location

Great location. House was cozy. Only thing I would say is the bathroom in the living room is very small so if you’re going with multiple people who you may not want to share a bathroom with be aware as it’s a part of the living room so very little privacy. Host was great.
