Great location for experiencing all that Tucson has to offer! Loved the brewpub and NYPD Pizza, which were a block away. Easy access to public transit. DT and 4th Ave are walking distance. As is the best coffee I've ever had...Presta Coffee! And I know my coffee.Felt very safe, as a solo female traveler.Bed and overall vibe was very comfy. Loved the SW decor touches. Just the right amount of "boho". Thank you for a great stay!

Thank you for staying with us! We are pleased to hear you felt safe and enjoyed everything the area has to offer. We hope to welcome you back soon!
During my stay I unfortunately saw, killed, and cleaned up multiple roaches, house flies, and other insects I don't know the name of. I had to book a hotel at some point in my stay because the roaches were too distressing for my peace of mind (while I was also studying for my medicine board exams during my month long stay). I was disappointed when this was all communicated to the hosts without any partial refund or coverage of my 2 day hotel stay. Outside of this issue, the apartment is nice with a full kitchen (stove, sink, refrigerator). The living room has a rustic design and the bed is comfortable with a walk in closet. I liked that it came with a parking spot.

Thank you for your feedback — we’re glad you found the home comfortable, well-equipped, and convenient with parking.
We take pest control very seriously, and the home is on a regular professional service schedule, which is standard for the area. While occasional insects can occur in desert climates, this is not something we typically receive reports about. We always encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can promptly send our team to address any concerns in real time.
We appreciate you sharing your experience and wish you the best with your exams and future travels.
My daughter was visiting from out of town and absolutely loved this rental. It was perfect for her needs and loved that it was in walking distance to so many things.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear your daughter enjoyed her stay and that the location worked out so well for her. There's something special about being able to walk to your favorite spots, isn’t there? You were wonderful guests, and I’d be happy to host you or your family anytime you're in town again!
Host was welcoming it was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the water pressure in the shower was so low and they said they'd fix it but did not. Also, there was no basic first aid kit in the home which feels like a necessity
Spot was great. Walking distance to UofA, 4th Ave, and downtown. Nice little fenced yard to let dog out if needed. Had all amenities and appliances that we needed. Highly recommend!

Wow—thank you for such a glowing review! We’re so happy to hear you loved the apartment and found everything clean, comfortable, and convenient. It means a lot to hear that the communication and check-in process made things easy for you. We’d be absolutely delighted to host you again anytime you're in town!
It was adorable! The only reason I have one of the items about how it relates to online was because the pictures show no stove but there is! A whole kitchen we were able to prepare meals in! It was clean, the bed was comfortable/the couch! I fell in love with that couch it was so comfortable! The host was very communicative, and polite! The Only only thing I could have wished more for was water pressure in the shower but I understand that sometimes those things can’t be helped and that’s okay it didn’t take away from our stay at all!

Thank you so much! We’re genuinely delighted that you enjoyed your stay. We truly appreciate your understanding about the shower water pressure, and we apologise for any inconvenience. Hosting you was a pleasure, and we can't wait to welcome you again!
Great stay overall! The property manager was very responsive when we had some plumbing issues with the shower and sink, everything was fixed by the next day, and they checked in to make sure we were comfortable. The location is convenient for a quick stay near the University. We appreciated the host’s willingness to work with us on a fair resolution, which made for a positive experience.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we addressed the plumbing issues, and we’re happy we could resolve everything quickly. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’d love to host you again anytime!
We stayed here during the time that we dropped our daughter off to college. We chose this property due to the proximity to campus and the pictures online. The hosts were incredible at communication - absolutely exceeded expectations. The location was a very short walk to campus and we enjoyed the area very much. The rental unit is on the top floor of a triplex and we found it smaller than we expected but candidly it was on par with the description for the unit - so that was entirely on us.

Had a wonderful stay at this charming and spotless loft apartment! The location was perfect—close to campus and in a great neighborhood. Communication with the owner was excellent, and they were incredibly responsive to any questions. Had a minor issue with hot water, but it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Overall, a fantastic experience, and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

Good but could be better
Overall the apartment was fine it just needed to be cleaned better and updated. Like the floors and shower and such. And the couch could have used a better cleaning as well.

Thank you! We’re pleased to hear the apartment suited your needs and appreciate you sharing your experience. Your feedback helps us improve our guest experience. We’d love to host you again someday.
I ended up not staying here, but couldn’t get a refund of any kind. Owner permits not even partial refunds 13 before the stay begins even if family emergencies arise.

This home has a "moderate" cancellation policy. Very reasonable. Jim tried to cancel just a few days before arrival and this would have left us empty with no time to rebook.
