Perfect - close to convention center rental

My team and I stayed here for 4 days to attend a conference at the Tucson Convention Center. This location was perfect as it allowed us to walk to and from the conference each day. The rooms were comfortable and everyone loved the beds. Thank you for a great stay.

Nice house great host

Great property, a little close to the freeway, but the noise really wasn't too bad. There was a slight mishap with one of the beds, but Matt was very helpful and it was taken care of quickly. We will definitely be back

Came in town for a family wedding

Nice house for our family of 5. Very comfortable stay. Outside space is huge. Alittle confusing to find location since the road has a sign - Road Closed - very close to house. Matt was helpful talking us through the details.

Cute house

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cute and very clean and the property manager was great and quick to reply to any questions. We enjoyed the outdoor area with the fire pit. The only downfall for us was the location. The house isn’t located in a great area. But we didn’t have any problems and was really happy with our overall stay.
