The host was great. He gave us many suggestions for places to visit and sent us links to their websites. We loved sitting out on the patio, and the closeness of wildlife.

Amazing stay!

Lee and Laura are absolutely adorables! I really enjoyed My 1 month stay for a lot of reasons;1. You ride a bike? The city is bike-friendly. Lots of routes and start corner street.2. You can shop with less than 10 minutes walk.3. Everything around mountains, restaurants, cinema….The apartment is well equiped, private parking and terrasse/patio. You gonna see wild animals around, just loved it…I recommend the studio 100%.

Cute Gem in Quiet Neighborhood

This cute studio with a private courtyard was a perfect place for my fiancee and our 2 little dogs. The owners couldn't have been nicer! Plenty of space for us, with all the amenities. Bathroom was also a good size. We will definitely be booking again next year!

Tiny Tuscon Treasure

Though this place was small it was efficiently organized, clean and well appointed. The studio room had a small courtyard attached which was very pleasant. It also had a table and chair setup in the sunshine. There was ample parking and very nice washer and dryer. The owners were exceptional, friendly and very quick to address any needs or problems we had. Lee and Laura were very welcoming. Great hosts!

Cozy beautiful place near the mountains

We absolutely love staying here! Our hosts were friendly and available! All though small, we had every convenience and enjoyed a private patio outside and walking in the lovely neighborhood every morning. There was a great hiking trail in the mountains close by!

I had to cancel but no problem

I booked Lee and Lauras property for November and December of 2018 but unfortunately an unexpected medical issue made it impossible for me to travel to Arizona. When I asked for a refund Laura was very accommodating and they refunded me in a timely fashion. One of the things I appreciated most was the fast responses to my email. So even though I didn’t get to stay there the experience in communicating with them was very positive. Maybe next time! It looks like a great spot....

Great place to stay

I stayed here for three months and really enjoyed it. The studio apartment was the perfect size for me and had everything I needed. The owners were very nice and helpful if I ever needed anything.

Perfect oasis

I stayed in the Shaws studio for 3+ weeks, while in Tucson awaiting the birth of my latest grand daughter. It was perfect for me, clean, cozy, quiet and private. I appreciated being close to a grocery store and a couple of yummy restaurants, just a minute away. I will definitely stay again, and would highly recommend this lovely unit.

Very helpful stay, as we moved to Marana AZ

In moving to Marana (northwest) of Tucson, we needed a base from which to attend the necessary meetings as part of closing on and moving into our new home. The Shaw's studio space was perfect for us. It's very conveniently located, with plenty of parking, our dog was allowed and we had all the conveniences we needed.

private, well equipped, gracious hosts

Lee and Laura were perfect hosts...not hovering, just very responsive. The guest suite, with many well thought out and aesthetically pleasing touches, is in a Tucson desert garden. Location is close to wonderful hiking in the mountain park as well as restaurants and stores.

Felt like home. Hosts became friends. Charming casita in beautiful setting. Grocery stores and shopping 2 miles away. Across the street from The Catalina Mountains, hiking trails, etc. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Lee, Laura, son, and doggies!

Quiet, comfortable space!

Clean, nicely detailed studio. Kitchenette is well equipped for simple meal preparation. Very quiet neighborhood. Owners were very helpful and accommodating. Close to shops and grocery stores. Not far from several trail systems on the west and north sides of Tucson. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone or a couple seeking a quiet, relaxing space to stay in Tucson.

Little gem in the foothills

If you are tired of trying to find "small and charming" in the sea of "spacious and luxurious" bigger-than-needed guesthouses, this is the place for you. This place is PERFECT for one or two people, has everything you need for comfort and quiet, including a small, enclosed, shaded patio. Owners Laura and Lee are wonderful hosts, available for any needs (of which I had none), and provided a very clean and bright, tastefully decorated, comfortable place to enjoy the beauty of the Catalina foothills. It's very close to Tohono Chul and grocery stores, and not far from Catalina State Park which is VERY worth a visit. I stayed for a month and LOVED it. I recommend it highly and will do so to all my family and friends who plan to visit this very beautiful part of Tucson.

A great experience!

Had a fine thirty day stay. Gracious hosts provided a well stocked guest house with private parking and patio. The large lot was landscaped with many types of cacti, as well as lots of other native plants. Excellent communication with owners before, during, and at the end of my stay. The property is in a great, safe area, and is close to a large choice of stores and major routes. The property is also close to some fine hiking areas. The view from the rental is a vey nice one of the close by Catalina mountains. I would book another stay in a heartbeat.
