About the host
Hosted by Candace Riccardi
My name is Candace. I started hosting in 2020 after 18 years of working in corporate America. My husband and I are extremely hands-on. We love designing and managing our properties, as well as interacting with guests. Our goal is to provide clean and well equipped spaces that we would want to stay at with our family. We have high standards so our guests can relax and enjoy their time with us!
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!
