We loved this place! It is a perfect location near downtown and a short distance from the University of Arizona. The large patio area is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. The pool and spa are a plus! The kitchen is well-stocked and the entire place is very clean. The owners obviously love their home and keep it well-maintained. The decorations are an eclectic mix of the sourthwest and hispanic cultures and we loved the Halloween decor. Everywhere we looked we found another interesting art piece. Another plus is that it is very close to one of our favorite Tucson restaurants, El Charro (authentic southwest, hispanic cuisine). We had a variety of ages staying here (from early 20s to 70s) and all thought it was a perfect place. We were even able to have some family friends over for a barbecue and they loved it, too! The owners were very prompt in answering my questions prior to our arrival and while we weren't able to meet them in person, they were quite nice on the phone and through emails. I definitely will recommend this property to my family and friends for their stay in Tucson. And the next time I need a place for multiple people to stay in Tucson, I definitely will look this home up first!Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Perfect spot to base a Tucson golf trip from. Very well furnished interior (TV, kitchen stock and bedding all are an A+) and a back yard to die for. Pool, spa, fountains and landscaping makes you just want to stay there all day. Convenient location for walking to restaurant and bars in downtown and the upstairs owners are friendly, knowledgeable and very hospitable. Book it, you'll love it!Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car.
