Really wonderful place, very very clean and located far enough from main streets that made it pleasant and very quiet, beautiful outside zen garden. Highly recommend. Thank you Maribel.
If you get the chance to stay at this lovely home I highly recommend making the booking. Very comfortable and quiet home in a central location. Excellent climate control and appliances. The decorating is beautiful and has a definite Tucson vibe. One of my favorite stays ever!
Very beautiful casita. Due to crazy weather in other parts of the country, my brother and sister in law’s visit was cut short so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor courtyard fireplace and other beautiful amenities. This will definitely be a great go to place when friends and family from other parts of the country visit us again.
We reserved the two casitas on this property and were 110% satisfied. Impeccably clean; lavishly and culturally decorated in a unique blend of Spanish/Asian/Modern. The owner has an uncanny eye for creating unique and delightful spaces. We travel frequently and have stayed in many vacation spots around the world; this is one of the best.
This property is peaceful and serene!We had a wonderfully relaxing time. Just know that you will need a car. There aren't attractions within walking distance. We did use the bus though which was about 0.7 mile walk to bus stop, and the buses are free right now.
This small two bedroom is a perfect unit was amazing. It is very well decorated and has a nice shared patio with the main owners house. Both bedrooms are very nice and the same size and amenities. If wanting a get away with your spouse or partner its great but I would not recommend sharing the unit with another couple, the rooms unit is not noise proof so snoring or other sounds are for sure coming through the walls but beyond that I would stay here again any day with my wife and or wife and family members. Property is very private and has great views from the rooftop patio. The property is likely 3 acres so you feel like you are away from the city in a peaceful desert setting. The place was also super clean and the house cleaner was our greater and very profesional.
