The Lovely Tower Bungalow - Tower District of Fresno, CA
A great price $ for an original Wilson Bungalow (1922) with wood floors, large picture windows, classic fireplace, great central location and it is soft on the “$ pocketbook $.” While it does have soothing colors and a relaxing atmosphere the great $ price for such a large accommodating home cannot be beaten. Enjoy and savor a meal or have coffee/tea or wine on the timeless front porch. It's a great place to connect with family and business. It's minutes from local sites and national parks.

Thank you, Jeff
I hope you have the opportunity to return for some R&R, maybe visit some of our great mountain areas.
Best Regards,
Nicholas
My friends and I so enjoyed staying at this rental. Nicholas and his wife were such good hosts as they suggested places for us to eat which were spot on. They did a thorough job of explaining things concerning the home upon our arrival then checked in on us later to see if we needed anything else. We felt very safe in the community as we went for walks and exploring. The close proximity to area attractions and the airport made this a relaxing place for us to stay. Highly recommend!

It’s been an honor to host you, Melanie. Your team is wonderful.
The Tower District Home was a perfect spot for our family to gather for the Christmas Holiday! We were a party of 6 adults, a teenager and 3 year old and we were all very comfortable during our stay. The house comes well equipped with most everything you could need: nice bath towels, extra blankets, good working heater, very comfortable beds, it was super cozy. The home is on a busy street so a few rooms that face the street had a bit of traffic, but nothing a pair of ear plugs can't fix. Nicholas and his family are the most gracious hosts with great communication, they even decorated the house with Christmas décor for us, which was such a treat and made us feel at home. We will definitely stay here again when the opportunity arises. Thank you Nicholas for your attention to detail and sharing your lovely home with us!

Perfect location for Selland Arena
We had a 2-day wrestling tournament at Selland Arena and this house was literally 8-10 minutes from the venue! We didn't get to use the house as much as we would've liked to but the rooms and beds were perfect for us. 3 of the rooms are up a good amount of stairs so beware if you don't like stairs. There is one room right next to the kitchen which is downstairs. There is a safe parking area behind a gate and a big backyard for hanging out. We were able to have a BBQ. They had two grills and we used both! The front room was large enough to host some of the wrestlers after the first day of wrestling. We were happy with our stay and were happy with the location. We will be back next year!

It was an honor to have you as guests, and your description is factual. It would be great to host you next year.
Best to you and your two wrestlers.

Cute charming house with plenty of space for a large family. It was clean and had everything you would need- plenty of towels, soap, garbage bags, etc. The owners we're very accommodating and very easy to get a hold of which was a plus! The dining room table was big enough for all of us to gather around and eat and hang out. The back yard is big with lots of shade. The A/C worked good for a large older house. The upstairs bedrooms had separate a/c units and our room was nice and cool. It is on a busy street and can be a bit noisy but honestly it didn't bother us at all. There is plenty of room to park 3-4 cars behind the locked gate. FYI- There was only one small tv in the living room, which was fine for us because we were there to be with family! You are walking distance to stores and bars and a quick Uber ride to the Tower area.

It was an honor to host you and your family.
We sincerely want all guests comfortable.
Best to you,
Nicholas & Teresa Tarazi
We enjoyed staying here. We chose it because of its proximity to the Fresno Airport and to Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National
Parks. It was easy to navigate around the area and there were walls, runs, and more when we had time.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is very comfortable. All items necessary for a comfortable stay are provided. The decorations are very pleasant. The property manager is very nice and helpful. He is responsive to questions before and during your stay. It has a nice centralized location. Will stay here again.
We had a pretty big group with several cars. Check in was super easy, and the place fit everyone easily. Neat old house. The cost savings over getting several hotel rooms made this a no brainer.

Thanks David,
I hope you we cross paths again.

Great time at World Ag Show. Comfortable home to retreat to. A few country boys in the group had trouble getting to sleep with city noises. Easy access to freeway, restaurants, and shopping.
Nicholas Tarazi was very attentive to our needs and made sure the house was perfect for my family! We spent a week in the home and it was exactly as it was presented online! I highly recommend this beautiful home and any Tarazi family rentals they are awesome!
The house was clean and well appointed, very nice for our extended family of 9. Nicholas, the owner was very easy to communicate with and very prompt. Overall a great stay in a beautiful historic house.

About the host
Hosted by NICHOLAS TARAZI
Father of 5 kids and fortunate to be married to their mother for decades! We love to travel and have used various online short term rental platforms. When we travel we usually stay awhile, otherwise, we are mostly around California or on short business trips.
We have stayed in the following countries for 3 months at a time. China, Fiji, the Philippines, and the UK. We have stayed weeks in Barbados, Granada, Ecuador, France, Israel, and the Netherlands. We would like to visit Greece and Italy next.
To host is to serve and to serve sometimes means you need help and our kids are part of the help. Each of them has a job duty before any guest arrives, many hands make light work. On a personal side, I have over 30 years in business with involvement in the Telecommunications, the Medical field and both my wife and I have a strong passion to share our years of experience helping 12-30-year-olds grow in a way that supports and brings goodness to the world.
