This was a great, basic place right near University of Arizona. The location could not be better for visiting, and it was a very comfortable stay.

Great stay. Can’t say enough about the hosts. Weird though that VRBO wants to know how we liked our stay at a national park.

Great house near campus

This house was perfect for homecoming weekend! It was a short walk from campus and 4th Ave. The house was clean and well stocked with items we needed for our stay. It was the perfect size and location for two college besties visiting Tucson together. I definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Tucson & U of A!

Tucson Home

Property was clean and ready at check in time. Property sits back but owners directions guided us right to property. We were only there for about 12 hours on our way to Nevada but place was clean, well equipped, and had nice touches that many owners do not provide. Would definitely stay again.

Great place! Super close and convenient to University of Arizona. Place was really clean and set up great for our stay! Great backyard to hang out in and if you have pets for them to wander around. We’ll definitely stay here again if available!
