This beautiful home in a beautiful walkable neighborhood was perfect for our stay, attending a wedding in Tucson. The home was spotless, and anything we needed was at our fingertips. The hosts were welcoming left clear notes for internet, parking, etc. we especially loved an entrance code on the door instead of a key.

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.

Close to U of A

We had a wonderful weekend visiting our daughter, who attends the U of A. The house is about 5 minutes from campus. It has very clean, with newer furnishings. We liked that it had cable TV, not just apps, so we could watch sports, etc.. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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.
