I had a great stay recently in the heart of Barrio Santa Rosa. I walked 15mins to downtown and also experienced the markets and restaurants near my stay. Cute and comfy place:)
The location was very convenient for us. The studio was super clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-appointed.Because it is a small space I might lose the fake plants…they take up needed space!The screen door could use a spring so it doesn’t slam every time you go in and out. Finally some direction ms for the microwave would have been help
This old bungalow studio unit is small but very clean. The kitchen has everything you need, including a pour-over coffee kit. Enjoyed that morning coffee in the east patio. Walkable to downtown, though not close. We enjoyed our stay, hosts were very responsive and informative.

Our property is located in one of our favorites spots in Tucson, located adjacent to one of our favorite breakfast joints in Tucson! Area is super cool, full of beautiful historic homes. The neighborhood is vibrant, historic, and full of authentic Tucson character.
