Very unique and historic property. The pool and gardens are stunning- a huge space with multiple seating areas, native flowers and trees. We enjoyed sitting out a bit (unfortunately we happened to be in Tucson during the rainiest three days of the year!). If you happen to be there during a rainy time, have bug spray handy! The house is comfortable, clean and well-appointed. You’ll find everything you need. We were in Tucson for parents weekend at U of Arizona and it was perfect for us. Campus is about two miles away and is a nice walk or quick ride share. We enjoyed exploring down town and 4th street too.

This house is perfect in every way. It is clean, charming and quiet. The host has thought of everything so if you forget toothpaste, makeup wipes, a razor, etc, you will be covered. The kitchen is also fully stocked. We loved the beautiful backyard with the pool, multiple tables and chairs, and all the different birds. It is in a quiet neighborhood and we walked to the 5 points area for breakfast every morning. The host is also very responsive so if we had any questions, she always got back to us right away. We definitely hope to stay there again!

Amazing Spot

We had a perfect vacation here. The house is so comfortable and it really just feels like you’re staying in a friend’s home. The backyard and pool are STUNNING and we spent so much magical time out there. It’s walking distance to so many wonderful coffee shops and the brewery nearby was great. I recommend this 100% - you will not regret it.

Central Tucson Gem

It was our second time staying at this property. We came back because we love the location with the great walkability to downtown and local neighborhood restaurants. The amazing pool and landscaping are a big plus. Inside is comfy, well appointed from beds and furniture to coffee and a well stocked kitchen. Jenn is a very responsive host. We will rent this house again.

Perfect Tucson getaway

We are two couples in our sixties who spent a month in this cozy and comfortable home! Highlights for us were lounging by the pool, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, and exploring Tucson from this central location. The two comfortable bedrooms with private baths were a huge plus. Jennifer is a great communicator and awesome host! We highly recommend and are already booked for next year!

Great Location

The location of this home was perfect for our weekend stay in Tucson. It was extremely close to the Tucson Convention Center and downtown restaurants while being only a 25-minute drive to Saguaro National Park. Jennifer was excellent at quickly responding to any questions we had. Also- the beds were very comfortable, so we slept great!

Jenn’s place south of downtown has everything you might need for a relaxing stay. The backyard is beautiful with a swimming pool as its centerpiece. Evening swims under the setting sun made our trip special. Downtown is just a short walk away, be sure to walk historic fourth ave. Can’t wait to stay at Jenn’s place again.

Lovely home with sweet backyard & pool

The property is very clean, comfortable, and nicely updated. The kitchen is very well stocked in terms of utensils, pots, pans, etc. The host, Jennifer, is incredibly responsive and friendly. And having a pool to cool off in, in the midst of the October heat "wave", was the "icing" on the cake. We very much enjoyed our time at this home in Armory Park.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Smith

Host profile image
I am so happy to introduce myself! I've lived in Tucson for over 35 years and absolutely love the Sonora desert. I have raised my five children here and am so happy to wake up every morning to the beautiful sun and mountains. I love hiking Tucson's varied hiking trails and have just started mountain biking. There is so much history here with wonderful restaurants and plenty to do outdoors.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful and unique property. This home was built in 1902 and has so much charm. When you enter the backyard you are transported to your own private resort. Lovely gardens and a beautiful heated black bottom pool. Lounge chairs and seating areas to relax or entertain your friends and family. The inside of the house is lovingly decorated to feel like a peaceful home where you can relax and enjoy the Old Pueblo.

What makes this property unique

I love the location of this home. You are 0.7 miles from downtown bars and restaurants and 0.5 miles from the tram that can take you to U of A. The historic neighborhood of Armory Park is a beautiful place to take an evening stroll and enjoy all of the old homes in the neighborhood. It is a quiet and peaceful area to be in.
