Place is small but has everything you would need. Yard is great for pets. Views of the Catalina and Rincon mountains are wonderful. Host was good to work with. I would stay again.
The location was just right for us to visit family nearby and access local amenities and attractions. Our host was very responsive and helpful when we needed anything. The casita was clean and had nice outdoor space.

Awesome Guest always welcome back. Please do look us up on a return trip!!
This place was perfect for us. It was really clean, comfortable and very well situated with regards to getting around town, especially the desert museum and the national park. Loved the backyard and the neighborhood. We plan to come back.
Very nice casita conveniently located. Well outfitted kitchen and comfortable furnishing, clean. Off street parking was a plus. We enjoyed sitting outside with a cup of coffee in the morning. The host was very helpful and responsive as our plans changed somewhat before our trip.
Wonderful Space, Lovely Hosts, and a Perfect Staycation
I booked this place for a staycation I planned as a little getaway from the city. It was secluded, peaceful, clean, and overall so pleasant and exactly what I needed.
Happy with the privacy and layout, really enjoyed using the grill and hanging outside. Internet speed was good, amenities exceeded our expectations. Would stay again!
Thank you for your hospitality. My stay was very comfortable, clean and close to shopping and restaurants. I felt safe and welcome. Would definitely stay again.
The casita was perfect for 2 people and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to go play outside. The location was convenient to downtown Tucson. Overall, it was the perfect place for us to stay.
Lovely casita made our stay comfortable and easy. We were able to access great bike routes, terrific food, and in the night we were just needing to rest, this was incredibly comfortable to just habg out and make a pleasurable evening.
Great and cute place to stay. I would stay again if it was the weekday. Don’t stay on a weekend if you are a light sleeper. The house connected had parties/get togethers. I did not get a good night sleep.

About the host
Hosted by Taylor Bard
Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)

Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)
Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO
Why they chose this property
Knew it would work well, as it has another casita in front of it that we use as a vacation rental also. So if this one isn't open, inquire about one of our other homes. We absolutely LOVE the neighborhood. You can't get any more centrally located to EVERYTHING to do in Tucson ! Close to U OF A, hiking golf, great restaurants, parks, botanical gardens, malls, downtown entertainment etc, while located in a well established quiet neighborhood that was built out in 1940's.
