Welcome to A Nice Place Casita, your peaceful home base in central Tucson. This cozy, pet-friendly studio is ideal for traveling nurses, professionals on assignment, solo adventurers, and remote workers who need a quiet, well-equipped place to stay for a few days, weeks, or even longer.
This 320 sq ft private studio is part of the Tucson Travel Casitas collection—locally owned and hosted, never corporate. I live and work on-site, so if you ever need anything, I’m just a message away.

THE SPACE
A Nice Place Casita was once a bedroom in the main home, thoughtfully renovated into a separate guest space with its own entrance. It’s quiet, welcoming, and infused with local charm.
Inside, you'll find:
~ Full-size windows that bring in natural light
~ Original oil paintings by Sybil Williams, a beloved Tucson artist (and my grandmother), that give the space a warm, personal feel
~ Cozy armchair for reading, relaxing, or watching TV
~ Queen-sized bed with blackout curtains for a restful night's sleep
~ Smart TV with streaming access (no cable or antenna)
~ High-speed internet for work, browsing, or entertainment
~ Dedicated closet with space for hanging clothes and storing suitcases
The kitchenette includes a 10 cu ft refrigerator with freezer, microwave, hot plate, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and basic cooking tools. It’s ideal for reheating meals or cooking simple dishes while you’re away from home.
The full private bathroom includes a combination tub/shower, fresh towels, and a bar of handmade soap from my sister brand, Alō Goods.

HOST INTERACTION & SUPPORT
I live in the main house and work from a converted garage space onsite. You may see me biking by or tending the garden, but I respect your privacy and won’t intrude on your stay.
You might occasionally hear the normal sounds of life through the shared wall—similar to what you'd expect in an apartment. If you’re working night shifts or have specific quiet hour needs, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
I’m always happy to answer questions, recommend local spots, or help troubleshoot anything that comes up.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
The casita is stocked with all the basics to make your stay smooth and easy:

Please note: These supplies are not replenished during your stay. If you’re staying for an extended time, you may wish to bring or purchase additional paper goods or pantry staples.
PET POLICY
One well-behaved pet is welcome. This space is best suited for a single animal, as it’s compact and intended for solo guests.
~ Please supervise your pet at all times while outside. My cats roam the yard and are generally friendly, but they don’t always love surprises
~ No potty pads allowed
~ Pet waste must be cleaned up immediately. Bring your own waste bags and dispose of them in the bin on the north side of the driveway
~ If your pet causes damage or requires extra cleaning, I will request reimbursement through the booking platform
