Excellent communication and studio was as described. Clean and efficient and close to our family that lives in the area. Very quiet and slept like a baby.
Very Comfy and perfect studio for the 2 of us and near lots of things to do. We went to the botanical gardens butterfly pavilion. Segundo National park for a 5 mile hike. MT Lemmon and petting Donkeys in Benson at forever home donkey rescue all while looking for a forever home in Tuscon I would highly suggest this VRBO as home base to anything you are doing in Tucson.

We want to thank these super guests for choosing our studio, and for the kind review. A lovely couple. They were quiet and respectful of the property. Their review hits all the points we try to make so that our guests feel comfortable. So happy for a great experience. Would have them back!
We sooo enjoyed our stay at this property. It was just what we wanted to have - desert location, away from the busy city with privacy. Our host was exceptionally responsive and accommodating. The property was exactly what we expected and as described. Easy location to get to restaurants and all attractions we wanted to visit. Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay. A nice private studio surrounded by beautiful desert landscaping. The Saguaro garden outside the front door is spectacular. The unit was comfortable and felt like home to us for the 8 days we stayed

Thank you! The main goal here is for our guests to feel like the studio is their own, very private space. Saying that it was like home hits the mark. You are always welcome here.
This was our first time visiting Tucson. We did a lot of sightseeing and the location was perfect. The house had everything we needed and inside parking was an added bonus!

The property was excellent. It was a great location with close access to hiking but also close to great restaurants and stores. The host was very responsive and accommodating.

Perfect guests! Quiet, clean and respectful of the property. Any host would be lucky to have them.
Everything was fine. Highly recommend this studio. Especially appreciate how Wanda responded to our questions promptly and made recommendations for activities and dinning.
Very private, cozy and convenient to outdoor activities such as Sabino Canyon, Saguaro NP and Mt Lemmon. Very close to stores and restaurants. We hope to stay here again in the future. Only downside is it can be hard to find the property, especially at night.
Cute apartment, with plenty of room to spread out. We were able to use the garage area to assemble our bikes. Enjoyed the garden sitting area outside. Host was very accommodating. Enjoyed our stay very much
Private and very quiet with lovely plantings. Covered garage was a plus and much appreciated.
The furnishings are comfortable and studio is nicely decorated.
Enjoyed staying at this spacious, private and well stocked studio. Conveiently located in NE Tuscon with most major parks, monuments and other sites within 15 to 45 minute drive. Recommend as an affordable option to see the sights in southern Arizona and enjoy the weather.

Wonderful people. Quiet, respectful of the property. Any host would be lucky to have them.
We enjoyed our stay! We are retired and wanted to check out the cycling in Tucson. The condo is on the route to Mount Lemon and close to the 100-mile bike path.
There are lots of good restaurants and other things to do.
We will go back again and stay longer.

Pleasant guests, very respectful of property. Good match for the studio and this location. Any host would be lucky to have them.
Reserved for my father because there was no more room at our inn (aka house). Clean, very quiet, convenient to restaurants shops etc, comfortable. Easy access to NE side of town, where there are basically no hotels and just a few bed and breakfasts. Worked out great!

Relaxing studio in the Desert!
This is a large, comfortable studio that we throughly enjoyed. It was close to all of our activities with beautiful desert surroundings. We kept the windows open at night to listen to the coyotes! We will be back!

Thank you Sarah ! It was a pleasure to have you at Suite CasaLina.
This was my mother's second stay at this studio. She has rented several guest properties when she has visited us and this is her favorite. The location is perfect, the accommodations very comfortable, and the atmosphere quiet. She will be back again! Thank you, Wanda!

About the host
Hosted by Wanda Lauerman
Dear Travelers, We're from New Jersey, and enjoyed all things good about being located in between Manhattan, Philadelphia and the Jersey shore. I am a graduate of The Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. The arts, writing and music have been my life's passions. Many career path changes and finally a decision to head west has led me to Tucson, where my family and I are loving desert life.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because it is very private, surrounded by the natural, verdant desert and mountains on the east side of town.
We see and hear a lot of wildlife. Coyotes, roadrunners, quail, javelina, bob cats, deer, rabbits, and an amazing variety of birds thrive in the Sonoran desert.
We are on the road to Catalina Mountain! If you are a cyclist, love to hike, ski or just want to have lunch after taking in some of the most breathtaking vistas in the US, Summerhaven on Catalina Mountain is for you. It is 7,700 feet above sea level, and 20-30 degrees cooler than the desert.
What makes this property unique
Our pueblo-style house is very private. There are acres between neighbors here. The studio is comfortable and welcoming. There is plenty of space in the garage for our guests' car, and more available outside. Stunning mountain and cactus garden views can be seen from every window. Nights are darker here and the shooting stars are amazing! It only takes about 20 minutes to get to the center of town, for all that the Old Pueblo can offer including a notable culinary scene, fine local breweries, museums, galleries, shops, music and theater. There are really good restaurants nearby, too.
