The apartment was conveniently located for our one night stay in Tucson, and all the amenities were adequate to meet our needs. However, the plug in air freshener scent was overpowering us and the parking a bit awkward.
Fantastic area in the Swan/Sunrise area with great views of the Catalina Mountains. The weather during our two-night stay was perfect for outdoor dining at nearby pubs and restaurants.The directions to the property were clear and the location felt very safe. No problems checking in or out. The property is exactly as the pictures posted by the host. The host was friendly, attentive and responsive.The property had everything we needed for our two-night stay. A nice large refrigerator for storing extra water, drinks or leftovers was in this suite. The smart TV had a number of channels to watch and the WiFi connection was strong. There was a nice deep tub for soaking that we enjoyed. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, plenty of towels and other amenities were provided.The outside patio was private and intimate. Nearby traffic noise was a bit of a bother but we soon tuned it out.This was a nice, cozy and very clean suite. I highly recommend this spot If you are in Tucson.
I absolutely love this stay! It was super clean, so adorable, owners are incredibly nice and accommodating! Great little outdoor seating area to take in the views and it’s dog friendly! The neighborhood is stunning! I highly recommend staying here and being hosted by Lindsay and Brandon! Can’t wait to come back again!!!
I loved my stay here! The space was very clean and cozy and there was no noise. The bed was so comfortable! It is hard to come by a pet-friendly space, so I am very thankful for short term rentals that allow pets. There is no fence for your pets, just an FYI! The neighborhood is very nice, and I went for a couple of long walks while there. I highly recommend it!
From the location in a small quiet neighborhood to the beautiful views and the condition of the place everything was beyond my expectations!! I highly recommend staying there. I wish I could give 10 stars!!!

Basic private rental conveniently located in Tucson foothills, 10 minute drive to great hikes. Patio door opens towards Craycroft which is a big noisy road at all hours. Nice views of the mountains from mini patio.
I thought everything was so great especially when I entered the room there was a tray for popcorn setup so sweetly. It was quiet and it felt really safe to be where we were. So thank you again.
My daughter, granddaughter and I were in Tucson for daughters dogs surgery, so we stayed just one overnight. The place was cute and tidy however the ad said there was a futon for second place to sleep and it was actually a sofa pull out bed which was horrible to sleep on or should I say not to sleep. (Maybe ok for kids to sleep on)
And waking up to barbells slamming on the floor at 6:00 -6:30 in the morning in the morning was not pleasant (Their home gym shares a full wall to the space) Owner was kind enough to shut the very bright outdoor lights off after we asked in the evening before bed. But i would suggest having then on automatic shut off in early evening so people can enjoy the stars or for sleeping. Location was nice... close to whatever one might need but in a quiet neighborhood and the space nicely decorated although I would suggest putting some actually flooring in as opposed to painted cement floor for a finished look and warmer feel. The rates were reasonable compared to many other crazily priced short term rentals. Overall an ok stay.

I’m sorry your experience was less than stellar and did not quite live up to your expectations. We have been offering this place on other sites for 3 years and honestly haven’t had one of the comments you made.
We try very hard to make sure all our guests have a wonderful experience and have been quite successful with over 500 guests. I appreciate your feedback and will definitely make some minor changes to help better fulfill everyone’s expectations and experience. Again thank you for the review and staying with us. Sorry we came up short for you. As mentioned before we try hard and have been extremely successful, however we do know that we cannot always make everyone happy no matter how hard we try.

Second Honeymoon Disappointment
At arrival we were taken aback that this was a room behind a garage. That wasn’t made clear in the listing. There was a beware dog sign on the homeowners window.
When we entered the room it was cute as pictured and they thought of many extras. Cute little patio with two chairs ..great view of neighbors yard and of the mountains. Homeowners refuse trash cans to the left of the patio.
There is a gap creating a clear line of sight into the bathroom even when the barn door was closed.
The main dealbreaker was the extremely intense fragrance. It choked us up..it made my eyes burn.
Being a leukemia survivor this was not good for me. There is also a big skylight that you can’t close or dim. I did not see anything about this on the listing or I wouldn’t have booked as I am light sensitive because of radiation years ago.
Called VRBO who contacted homeowner because we couldn’t stay there..again a special second honeymoon. VRBO did not help to secure a new place to stay but had to wait on the homeowner. Before we left I heard from homeowner. He said he couldn’t process a refund until stay was over and apologize bed for the strong scent blaming it on laundering the rugs. A few days later I get an approximate 30% refund!! I messaged the homeowner and i haven’t received a response. I again contacted VRBO. I am awaiting a response from VRBO who is waiting on response from the homeowner yet again.
I would like a full refund.

I'm really sorry about your experience, however this kind of review is completely uncalled for and irresponsible. During our conversation you mentioned that you "may have not read all the information" about the description of the room. Had you, you would have discovered it was attached to the main house. Second, the skylight is generally not something that is disclosed, however you never mentioned your sensitivity to light prior to booking or ever inquired about our lighting during your booking process. In regards to "powerful smell", we are very diligent about cleaning and making sure it's spotless and smells nice and clean. Again, if you have a sensitivity to smells. you never mentioned it prior to you checking in and never inquired about what products we use, considering you did mention your smell sensitivity during our conversation. We take a lot of pride our space and do our absolute best to provide a room that is clean, comfortable and makes the guest feel like they are still at home. Id say we do a pretty great job considering our 98% 5 star rating over multiple platforms with over 700 reviews. With that being said, we are aware that our room doesn't suit everyone and there may be things that come up during ones stay that we are more than willing to rectify immediately and help our guests. Unfortunately you did not voice any of these issues prior to you booking and took to letting me know that you had no intention of staying due to some things that, had you asked we most definitely could have changed for you (i.e Cover the skylight and not used cleaning products that would been overwhelming for you). Concerning the full refund, we refunded you exactly half of our payout by VRBO, the remainder are processing fees, taxes and fees paid to VRBO that has nothing to do with us. I think 1/2 is completely fair if not more that fair considering you never attempted to communicate to us about your concerns and were set on not staying upon arrival. The full refund deadline is 7 days before arrival and considering this is a popular time of year, we were left with no ability to book the empty days. Again I'm sorry all this had to happen but Hope you found a place that was more perfect. I hope you understand our position as I feel much of this could have been avoided with better communication.

We weren’t able to access the house the first day.Terrible communication.VRBO blames the host and the host blames the owner
What a nice spot. The hosts left very clear instructions for everything! It is a converted garage and super nice. I'm not usually a solo traveler so, at first, i was, naturally, a bit uneasy. But i could tell the hosts were home and had been vetted by VBRO and ALL of their other guests so I quickly relaxed and used my time to unwind. While i never met the hosts, our communication was always promt, professional and inquisitive as to how they could make my stay as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend this clean, quiet and comfortable stay.
