Such a cute apartment and well equipped for our stay. It was cozy, quiet and a perfect spot for visiting near AU and a quick trip downtown. We loved the porch, yard, and walking around the neighborhood. We would definitely return! The only issue is that the bed is a little unsupportive and the pillows are pretty flat, so might not be the best if you have a bad back - or you might want to bring your own pillow.

This is a wonderful little Sam Hughes casita with historic Tucson charm. The host is cheerful and helpful and the place is thoughtfully decorated and supplied with essentials.
