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.

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

Host profile image
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 :)

Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"


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.
