About the host
Your host
We are from Portland Or and moved to Tucson in 2020. We were in search for a sunny, warmer place and fell in love with the desert. With backgrounds in Mortgage and Real Estate, my husband and I decided to become hosts to those wanting to experience the desert.
Why they chose this property
We love the convenient location to downtown, the airport, Saguaro East NP and Sabino Canyon. We were also looking for a more mid century vibe neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
We have grass for one thing. :) We love having a great outdoor spot to hang out, the fire pit, the hot tub and large patio make it great during winter months which is half the year. We also gave Fancy Granny a nice update but kept her fun vintage character so she is comfy and fun and has all the modern conveniences.
