Great spot!

Only there for a short stop, but the place worked out great for us. Great coffee shop across the street, easy access to public transportation and close to campus. Hosts were very responsive and very friendly. We'd return next time we're in Tuscon!

Nice Place

This was a nice place to stay and was surprisingly quiet for the location. We only needed one room. The bunk beds may work well for children. The cost is rather high but I suppose that's because of its location.

The location is excellent, house was clean and hosts were responsive. I would recommend this house because it's in walking distance to fourth, hotel, Congress, and close to the University.
