The house was very comfortable; we loved the open spaces and the ping-pong table got a lot of use. Overall, the house allowed us to relax in our downtime and that was very much appreciated. The neighborhood also seemed quiet and safe and we were able to get out for a walk or run for some exercise.
Great weekend for our large family of 6- lots of room for everyone and fun things to do in the yard. Perfect location and beautiful home!! We loved it!! Thank you!!
We just got back from Family Weekend at U of A, and stayed at this beautiful property. Everything about the home is perfect, from the comfortable and spacious rooms, enormous kitchen, beautiful backyard and rooftop deck. There was an awesome game room stocked with a ping pong table, tons of card games, etc and the kids loved it. It's rare to see a rental so immaculate.....there was not a speck of dust on any of the outdoor furniture and the interior was fantastic. The hostess was incredibly accommodating and responsive, and beyond flexible with us. We appreciated the stay and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend!
We stayed here for our daughters graduation from UofA. Everything was great. Enough room for everyone, plenty of seats, the backyard was an additional great space to use. Would recommend to abyone looking for a place with a large family.
House and yard were great for games and socializing. Nicely appointed. Comfortable beds.

Why they chose this property
Samos is a quiet neighborhood, but it's close to all the action. Centrally located, 1 mile from the UfoA. 5 minutes to downtown. Walking distance to the Campbell Ave corridor with loads of restaurants, shopping, salons, coffee shops, and more. Great neighborhood for walking your dogs! Mountain Ave is exceptional for biking. Ideal spot!
What makes this property unique
This is one of the most unique homes in Tucson, and certainly in the area. Our roof deck offers a 360 degree unencumbered view of the city. Mountain views by day and city lights at night. It is a must see!
