About this property

Quiet Adobe Sanctuary in Tucson’s Barrio Viejo

A true Tucson experience:
Casa Bueno is a genuine historic adobe, offering a sense of place you won’t find in newer builds. Guests often comment on how grounded, calm, and uniquely Southwestern the home feels.

Designed for relaxed living:
The home is thoughtfully furnished for comfort—great beds, inviting living spaces, and a kitchen that makes it easy to settle in, whether for a weekend or a longer stay.

Indoor–outdoor flow:
The private courtyard is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or dinner under the desert sky—one of the most loved features of the home.

Unbeatable walkability:
Being in Barrio Viejo means you can explore downtown Tucson on foot—coffee, dining, culture, and events are all just steps away.

Ideal for cyclists and explorers:
Ride straight from the front door to Tucson’s iconic bike routes and The Loop, or wander the neighborhood’s historic streets and adobe architecture.

A calm retreat in the city:
Despite the central location, the home offers a peaceful place to unwind and recharge after a day of exploring.

Hosts who care:
We take pride in providing a welcoming, well-prepared space and are happy to share local recommendations to help you make the most of your stay.

Charming and comfortable

My son and I enjoyed a four-day stay here when we visited the area to bird and visit some of the historical sites. The apartment was clean and comfortable and roomy, the entrance courtyard was a great place to hang out and enjoy a morning cup of coffee, and we appreciated being able to walk to local restaurants. Communication with the host was excellent and check-in/check-out was easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in historic Barrio Viejo

John's two-bedroom is very nice and located in the great historic Barrio Viejo. Very quiet neighborhood and an easy walk/short ride to coffee shops, cafes, downtown, and the University. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Thanks, John!

Comfortable and Convenient

Came to Tucson for a memorial. The house is spacious and comfortable. It was a perfect location to get back and forth to the downtown event space and meet up with family at local restaurants etc. It is walkable to everything downtown and a 10 minute ride to stars pass for a hike. Hosts were available when needed.

About the host

Hosted by John Genell

Host profile image
Hi! I’m John, and along with my partner Dave, we love calling Tucson home. There’s something magical about this city—the light, the desert landscapes, the history, and the vibrant culture of neighborhoods like Barrio Viejo. In my free time, you’ll usually find me exploring local coffee shops and restaurants, cycling Tucson’s scenic bike routes, or soaking in the arts and culture scene downtown.

Hosting guests at Casa Bueno is one of our favorite things. We love sharing this historic adobe home and helping visitors experience Tucson like locals—whether it’s suggesting hidden gems, sharing the best spots for sunset views, or simply creating a comfortable, welcoming space for people to relax and recharge.

Why they chose this property

Dave and I Dave are proud to host Casa Bueno in historic Barrio Viejo. We love Tucson’s history, architecture, and laid-back lifestyle, and we’ve designed the home to reflect all three. We look forward to hosting you.

What makes this property unique

Casa Bueno is a rare blend of authentic historic adobe construction and walkable, downtown living in one of Tucson’s most treasured neighborhoods. Tucked into Barrio Viejo, the home offers a true sense of old Tucson—thick adobe walls, timeless character, and a calm, grounded feel you can’t replicate in modern builds.

What truly sets it apart is the indoor–outdoor lifestyle: a private courtyard for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons, and evenings under desert skies—all just steps from restaurants, culture, and iconic bike routes. It’s a place where history, comfort, and location come together seamlessly.
