About this property

Central Javelina Casa - UofA, close to all!

Have fun with family or friends at this charming mid-century bungalow. Located in the historic and central Blenman Elm neighborhood, this cheery, bright 2 bedroom ranch style home is situated on a small, quiet side street but close to all the action - a mere 1.5 miles from the U of Arizona campus and 0.4 miles from the upscale Arizona Inn. Stylish decor and relaxing back yard.

Front home - private 2 bedroom/1 bath and shared yard/back patio (if a studio guest is also on site concurrently).

Note: an attached studio guest suite with a separate exterior entrance (one shared wall) may host another guest or you can rent both spaces concurrently (with latter, interior access is provided otherwise, double doors with locks secure both sides). Check it out here and rent both! https://www.vrbo.com/3202970?unitId=3776065

Walk to so many great restaurants/coffee shops including Culinary Dropout, Postino, Snooze Eatery, Nekter Juice Bar, Lemon Shark Poke and Dante’s Fire, and just a little further to Mojo, Raging Sage Coffee Roasters and so many more.

Wander through the nearby neighborhoods of Sam Hughes and El Encanto with beautiful Spanish style homes. Just a 20-30 minute drive to the Catalina foothills, Saguaro National Park hiking and desert spa resorts. A perfect place to both relax and explore beautiful central Tucson.

This is a NON-SMOKING/VAPING/420 home. We ask that you do not smoke/vape outside OR inside the home or near any open door or window. There may be a fine of up to $250 for violation of smoking plus any applicable cleaning fees.

The backyard is a shared communal space with guests in the guest suite, if present. Front home guests have priority use of BBQ grill and patio but please communicate this with guest in back studio if on site about this to make sure no conflicts arise and be conscious of noise after 9pm due to proximity of studio.

All other areas in yard for lounging are first come, first serve. Front home guests are allowed up to 4 additional daytime/eve (not overnight) visitors. A studio guest is allowed a max of 2 additional non-guests to visit the yard area.

2 parking spaces are provided in circular drive for front home guests. Only the back studio guest may park in the side driveway in front of gate.

Any parties or loud noise will not be tolerated. If the owner is fined for any noise ordinance violation caused by the guest, it will be the responsibility of the guest to pay these fines and/or this may be cause for immediate eviction with no refund.

NO weapons are allowed on property

NO fire hazards allowed on property.

The digital keypad entry codes will be provided 2-3 hours before check-in (depending on if another guest has checked out/cleaning crew is done).

Lovely place in a quiet neighborhood
We loved the location and neighborhood - we walked to lunch and everything else we wanted was a short drive. The house was adorable and had everything we needed. The backyard space is fantastic and perfect for a sunny spring day. Our host was super responsive and helpful. Would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Caruso

Host profile image
As an avid traveler, I want your experience in my home or others that I co-host to be as enjoyable as possible, and I also rely upon guests to communicate issues or needs so I can address them promptly.

I am young at heart and love to travel internationally on a budget - to me it's about the cultural experience and meeting new people, not about the room where I'm sleeping, as long as it's clean and comfortable. I've been fortunate to get to Asia/SE Asia, Indonesia, Europe, South America, Africa and Australia/NZ, (over 50 countries, 46 states, and counting, some more than once) but with many more places around the globe to go (Sagittarius in me).

I always enjoy making new friends and having new experiences. I have been on safari, hangglided, like trapeze, and was lucky enough to have done stunts in a bi-plane over the Pacific Ocean with a pilot friend. I am an AFI, GW and TBird alum, so let me know if you are too!

I enjoy music, dance, movies, F1 racing, reading, boxing, anything with animals, and outdoor activities like hiking, climbing and biking. I have done a Habitat for Humanity build in Egypt, was fortunate enough to hike to the basecamp (18k feet) of Mt. Everest after volunteering at an orphanage in Nepal, have volunteered with refugee children in Greece and did a fundraising trek in the Italian Dolomites and volunteered with refugee single moms and kids in Fall 2021 amongst other cool adventures. Tell me more about you...

Why they chose this property

I loved the central but quiet location with easy access to all of Tucson in a comfortable mid-century vibe home -- which I loved decorating!

What makes this property unique

I offer robes, slippers and morning coffee/snacks to get your day started!
