The yard was fenced and kept our dog in while we were supervising her outside. The property was clean and everything worked. The host responded quickly to our inquiries

Close drive to U of A where my son had his internship at. Grocery shopping, food, cat cafe, & Ross near by. Host was great with any & all communication. Cozy and pretty quiet place to stay with a grill, washer, & dryer. TV in upstairs & downstairs areas as well. Will definitely stay here again if I go to Tucson again

A very nice home. The getting in with all the different locks and codes was a little complicated. The heat didn’t work, but the owner immediately fixed it so very thankful for that. He’s awesome. Overall, a great experience minus the jigsaw puzzle lol would definitely stay here again.

Had everything we needed but a bit inconvenient - multiple gates, codes, lockboxes. Getting luggage up the spiral staircase, no bathroom downstairs.

We chose this place because the price was good. Having done plenty of Verbo and similar before, we didn't expect much because you get what you pay for. Well this place was a pleasant surprise. First the host was amazing. Very quick to respond and never Intrusive. There are 3 units on this property, each with bigger yards than advertised and plenty of privacy from each other. Ours was around back and it was pretty cool. I LOVE spiral staircases and they have one! This place is 'quirky' and personally, the quirkier, the better. Meaning its slightly unconventional and far from boring! The staircase is on the outside to get to the main part. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Downstairs is the outdoor living and an extra room! It has a desk, dresser, nicer sofa bed and big t.v. It also leads to the washer and dryer dedicated to just that unit! All three units have a private washer and dryer. Yay! Upstairs has a great crossbreeze, plenty of sunlight, privacy and closet space. A small balcony for pets or just taking it all in. And the bed is like a marshmallow. And security cameras on property! Bonus!Sorry for the novel. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that our little quirky space exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed discovering all of its unique features. The spiral staircase is definitely one of our favorite details too! It’s great to hear that you appreciated the privacy of the yard, the dedicated washer and dryer, the comfortable bed, and the overall layout of the unit. We work hard to provide a space that is both comfortable and memorable, so your kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you for being such a fantastic guest. We’d love to host you again anytime your travels bring you back to Tucson!

We liked the quiet space and having two floors to spread out. Location was close to every place we wanted to go. Comfortable bed. Good view.
