Beautiful home, with an amazing kitchen for cooking. Very comfortable bed (we just used the bedroom with bathroom as there were only 2 of us). Recycling available. Enjoyed the birds that visited the yard (Verdin, Vermillion Flycatcher, Gila Woodpecker, Mockingbird along with the House Finches and Mourning Doves. Great Horned Owl in the neighborhood also.) Host responded quickly whenever I had a question.

The house was spotless. The kitchen was fully equipped, the house was tastefully decorated, and the furniture was attractive, simple and comfortable. I had a few questions for the host and her replies were immediate and helpful. Our grandsons, 9 and 11, were quickly "at home" there. The house is in a great neighborhood. and we all enjoyed walking to Himmel Park, the U of A, and the (ice) Screamery. We hope to return.

This beautiful home in a beautiful walkable neighborhood was perfect for our stay, attending a wedding in Tucson. The home was spotless, and anything we needed was at our fingertips. The hosts were welcoming left clear notes for internet, parking, etc. we especially loved an entrance code on the door instead of a key.

Great conveniently located home that was perfect for University of Arizona move-in staging over the course of a few days, and shooting to Tucson scenic attractions. The house was perfectly clean and had all amenities to make our stay very enjoyable. The front & rear yard areas were beautiful sitting out early morning and evening enjoying nature & beautiful skies.

We had a wonderful weekend visiting our daughter, who attends the U of A. The house is about 5 minutes from campus. It has very clean, with newer furnishings. We liked that it had cable TV, not just apps, so we could watch sports, etc.. We would definitely stay here again.
