Great conveniently located home that was perfect for University of Arizona move-in staging over the course of a few days, and shooting to Tucson scenic attractions. The house was perfectly clean and had all amenities to make our stay very enjoyable. The front & rear yard areas were beautiful sitting out early morning and evening enjoying nature & beautiful skies.

Great location in Tucson

This was our 2nd year at Lil and Henry’s home. They make staying there easy. We used the free streetcar which was 1 mile away to go to the St Patrick’s Parade, Festival of Books, 4th Ave Street Fair, Arizona Transportation Museum and more.

Perfect Sam Hughes House!

This house is fantastic!! We have been staying around UofA for the last few years while our son was at school. I wish we had found this great house sooner! The house is very clean, comfortable, has all you need for a family. The front and back yard are spacious and great outdoor spaces. I hope we can stay again for a future homecoming. And thank you to our hosts for their great communication.

Pleasant second visit

This was the second time we stayed at this property. It is extremely well-located, nicely remodeled and clean, quiet, close to Himmel Park and a very good choice if you need a couple's place in Tucson. Communication with the owners is easy and smooth. The only reason I would not give it the highest rating is that there is some exterior structure and grounds deferred maintenance that detracts just a bit from the overall pleasure of being there.

Christmas in Tucson

We loved the house. The kitchen was well-supplied, allowing for a wonderful Christmas dinner. The neighborhood was quiet and beautifully decorated for the holidays with many luminaria out on Christmas Eve. The location was centrally located for many attractions and within walking distance of great dining. The male Vermillion Flycatcher that greeted us most mornings in the backyard was an unexpected delight.

Parents Weekend

Property was clean and the kitchen had almost everything we needed. There is some drainage issues with the one tub/shower that would make it challenging for more than one couple to share that bathroom. Neighborhood was great. House is super cute and we enjoyed hanging out in the backyard.

Peaceful stay and great location to explore Tucson

We really enjoyed our 14 days stay...contemporary furnishings, well equipped kitchen, quiet neighborhood, comfortable home. Off street parking and nice yard although in January a bit too chilly to cook/eat outside. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, University, all good! Highly recommend.

Wonderful house for visit to Tucson

Great midcentury house in historic Sam Hughes neighborhood. Walk to Flora’s Market Run. Nice private walled yard with cute lizards and spectacular bird watching. Kitchen was very well stocked. Bathrooms were great - plenty of hot water, spotless. Owners were very prompt and helpful in all communications.

Loved this cute, centrally-located gem in the Sam Hughes section of Tucson.

Really nicely furnished and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything you’d need for cooking your own meals. Weather was perfect in March and the sitting areas in the front and back yards were great. Thanks for the welcoming snacks and drinks. It’s the little touches that make it feel like home from the start.
