b) Guest represents that Guest maintains a primary residence elsewhere and will not use the Property’s address to receive mail beyond the stay, register a vehicle, obtain identification, or otherwise establish residency.
c) This Agreement creates no lease, tenancy, or possessory interest, and may not be assigned or sublet. The relationship is lodging operator and transient guest only. Any extension requires Host’s written approval and a separate booking.

The parties agree that such losses are difficult to determine with precision at the time of booking, and that these amounts are intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. These amounts are in addition to, and do not limit, Host’s right to recover for damage to the Property under Section 2.

Great communication/responsiveness

We stayed for a month and owners were extremely responsive, e.g., we had an issue with the TV and they just replaced it with a new one within a day or so! They reached out to us with info and were easy for us to contact, and they dealt with any issues quickly. Apartment is cozy and comfortable (note that kitchen is small, we mostly used the grill) and neighborhood is nice, very convenient to U of A.

Amazing property

First VRBO stay and this property was perfect. Exactly as described by host Todd. Todd was in touch thru out the while process. The casita had everything we needed and more. It was so clean and fresh. Parking was so easy right at front door. We were able to walk to so many restaurants. Our grandson walked from UofA in 18 minutes from his dorm.Will definitely be staying here next time we go to Tucson.Check in and out easy.
