We are two friends on an Amtrak trip west. We stopped over in Tucson and this little place was perfectly situated for someone traveling by train. It's very close to a lively, funky neighborhood, but the street itself was very quiet. Great coffee shop on the corner and an excellent grocery coop in easy walking distance. The tram is right there, as are docking stations for e-bikes. We were very happy we stayed here.

Heart of Tucson

I really enjoyed the convenience of being within walking distance of Fourth Ave, downtown, and the UofA campus. Empire Market grocery store is just steps away. The next-door neighbor’s cuckoo clock and the Union Pacific trains might be bothersome if you’re a light sleeper. Loved the enclosed patio between the front house and this rear carriage house. I would stay here again.

Wonderful

Great little place with easy access to downtown and University areas. So many restaurants and things to do. Place was clean and simple with a nice outdoor patio. Only thing was we thought there was access to W/D, but that is in the primary rental on this property and not accessible for this casita. Highly recommend this rental for shorter stays…it is awesome. But for longer stays, like us for a month, the laundry situation was more difficult. The host was quick to respond to our requests which helped tremendously.

Almost perfect!

We loved the little Iron Horse Carriage House. Small and stylish, excellent location for walking around. We loved everything about it including the owner's prompt responses to any questions. Honestly, for the price I don't feel justified in complaining about a thing, so all I will say is bring a blowdryer if you're expecting one to be there, and don't be weirded out by the brick wall behind your head on the bed, seeming paper thin. Just enjoy yourself and don't be concerned about what might be heard between you and whoever is on the other side! We would gladly stay there again.
