Very nice, clean and well furnished casita in a quiet neighborhood. My home was being redone for nine days and I needed a place that would accommodate 2 dogs. It was perfect with a fenced yard and quiet streets I could walk them. There was a laundry room and a sitting room in addition to the bedroom and small kitchen. Shower was great and the double bed was comfortable. The AC worked perfectly.

First off, we arrived a day early because I got my days mixed up. Taylor made it so easy though. When we contacted him, he said, “well it’s ready, do you just want to check in now?” The casita is spacious, with a really good air conditioner. But the best part was the fantastic bed and great pillows! The outdoor space is what made us decide to reserve the property, but the chairs are very eaten up by the sun, the rattan is broken and sticks up to poke you. The chairs on the front landing have nails sticking up and snagged my pants. Outdoor landscape lighting is very pretty. The shower head is good, but there is no where in the shower to put your things. We had to just set things on the floor. There was plenty of space though in the bathroom proper to put all of your things. Parking is good. Overall, it’s a great place, and would stay there again.

Beautiful casita. Yard with lots of cacti and desert plants. Beautifully remodeled but retaining an old southwest feel. Great air conditioning quiet and effective. We slept great. A nice little neighborhood close to busy streets. The house was quiet even though we had easy street access to travel to most of the places we wanted to visit. Definite visit include Kitt peak Nat observatory, Kartchner caverns, Saguaro NP, Desert Museum. Hosts were very helpful on questions and help when needed.

Wonderful casita for a couple. It was clean, well equipped with the little kitchen perfect for making breakfast to be enjoyed outdoor in the little cactus garden. The living room area with a door is great if one of you is a night owl and the other likes to go to sleep early. Nice area, just far away from the busy street that takes you everywhere in Tucson to be quiet but still perfectly walkable. Highly recommend Tito and Pep restaurant just around the corner. Amazing food. We would certainly look to book again if we find ourself in the area.

We had such a wonderful stay at this casita! After living in Arizona for 11 years and recently moving to Georgia, this trip gave us the chance to rediscover Tucson. The location was perfect—we enjoyed the Gaslight Theatre, Roadies, several beautiful hikes, runs, shopping, amazing local coffee shops and restaurants, and everything was just a short drive away.The casita was incredibly clean, spacious, and well supplied with everything my two boys and I needed. We loved being able to cook meals, and the backyard was such a peaceful place to relax—especially while watching one of Tucson’s summer storms roll through. The home was quiet, comfortable, and truly felt like a home away from home.As a mom traveling alone with my kids, I especially appreciated how safe we felt. Taylor was incredibly responsive, checked in on us throughout our stay, and made us feel well taken care of.A fun bonus was getting to enjoy Fourth of July fireworks from the property, which made our trip even more memorable.We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our Tucson visit. When we return, we’ll absolutely stay at one of Taylor and Yuko’s rentals again. You won’t be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Taylor & Yuko

Host profile image
Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)

Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"


Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)

Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO

Why they chose this property

This is the adjacent property to my private home, which has another casita behind it that we use as a vacation rental. So if this one isn't open, inquire about the other. With that said, We absolutely LOVE the neighborhood. You can't get any more centrally located to EVERYTHING to do in Tucson ! Close to U OF A, hiking golf, great restaurants, parks, botanical gardens, malls, downtown entertainment etc, while located in a well established quiet neighborhood that was built out in 1940's.
