Lovely Stay at the Adobe House

There was an ease with the whole process: booking, access, communication. The house was the perfect size, close to whatever you would need/want in the Tucson area. And it has a great enclosed back yard! Highly recommended!

Stay at Peter Howell Property

We had a great stay at this property. The hosts, Taylor & Yuko, were great in communicating with us on a frequent basis and responded quickly to any questions and requests. There were just the two of us but, with the extra bedroom, the house could accommodate more people. The very large backyard was great for our dog. The location is great and it was easy to get around town from here.

Nice place, had some issues.

I liked the house, but quite frankly had too many issues. Was given an incorrect check in code, ac didnt work properly, and cleaning crew shows up right at check out time. Would not stay again.

Good for our one night stay

We arrived at the property at 6 PM, and everything was ready for us, clean, tidy, and fresh. It was quite cold in Tucson that night, so the house was very chilly, but we finally managed to warm it up. The backyard backs up to Speedway Blvd which results in quite a bit of traffic noise. I think if we were there any longer, the traffic noise may have been a problem. We were only there one night and it was too cold to be in the backyard, so it worked out fine for us. We appreciate the clean and comfortable accommodations.

Comfortable, clean, and convenient

We enjoyed our stay at Taylor and Yuko’s adobe house. The house is cute, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The location was very convenient to everything we wanted to see and do. Don’t miss the botanical gardens nearby! We were greeted by the smell of orange blossoms wafting from the tree in the backyard. Our hosts live nearby and met us when we arrived and checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s a block away from a busy street so not super quiet but quiet enough for us. Would be comfortable for a small family or two couples. My only quibble is that it smelled a bit musty. That smell was better after airing out for a few days. (In fairness, my husband didn’t notice it but I am sensitive to odors.) It was cool to stay in an adobe house. Thanks, Taylor and Yuko, for a nice week on Tucson!

Bright, welcoming little house in a charming neighborhood

The natural light and bright southwest colors make this house feel spacious. The walled backyard has both sun and shade at all times of the day; our mini-schnauzers had a wonderful vacation too. We enjoyed the neighbors we chatted with when we walked the dogs. The location, east of downtown and the university,,meant that everything we wanted was quite close. Be sure to go to Barrio Bread.

Adorable adobe house

Great off street parking, private outdoor space in back, cozy inside. Loved the neighborhood. Our only complaint was there was occasionally street noise from Speedway, but it wasn’t much. The kitchen is great. 2-miles from UofA. Cute place. Would definitely stay there again.

About the host

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
