Thank you so much for your kind review, Arnis! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and thoughtful decor, and that everything went smoothly during your stay. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again anytime!
Such a cute apartment and well equipped for our stay. It was cozy, quiet and a perfect spot for visiting near AU and a quick trip downtown. We loved the porch, yard, and walking around the neighborhood. We would definitely return! The only issue is that the bed is a little unsupportive and the pillows are pretty flat, so might not be the best if you have a bad back - or you might want to bring your own pillow.

This is a wonderful little Sam Hughes casita with historic Tucson charm. The host is cheerful and helpful and the place is thoughtfully decorated and supplied with essentials. An added bonus is the short distance to Floras Market Run, Himmel Park and the incomparable Tumerico. Highly enjoyable for a short or longer stay.

Perfect casita. Very clean. Perfectly appointed. Convenient location. Quiet area in the historic Sam Hughes neighborhood. Perfect for one , a couple with fur baby or child. There is also a sofa-couch. Its southwestern charm is perfectly set. We enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable and felt at home.

Great location, fantastic property, well appointed. My fight was cancelled so my husband stayed without me and had a hard time telling me how great it was without me feeling badly. Will definitely book again when I can enjoy it too.
