We loved the house and wish we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the backyard. The host was very communicative and we definitely would stay again.
We have stayed here a couple times and just love this home. Easy check in and out, very well stocked, comfy beds and great layout!! We will be back for sure!
Our family only had one night here. It was good, but pool was too cold probably too early into spring, and we were farther away from family than expected. The house was clean, kitchen was big, and decorations were nice.
The house is very nice, clean, comfortable. Tanya is an amazing host really attentive and accommodating. We enjoyed the pool. We would definitely love to stay here again whenever we go back to Tucson.
Our stay was fantastic. Communication with Rome, our host, was great. He offered suggestions and answered questions in a timely manner. The location was centrally located for our activities. We will be back!
This home is well equipped, very clean, and some extra touches top it off. The pool would be a treat on a hot day, back yard is very relaxing. Some city sounds outside of the property, but we loved the access to hikes, etc.
Cute home, great back yard and grill. Everything we needed was on property. Great coffee bar, house was clean. Property description online accurate.
Thank you.
We can’t say enough about Tanya and her hospitality - she made sure we had a pack ‘n play available for my daughter when we arrived and made check in/out a breeze (which with two small children was invaluable). Her property is immaculate and lovely, perfectly located and ideal for families visiting the Tucson area. The citrus trees and the pool were BIG hits with our kids as well. We will for sure stay again if we are in the area!

Comfortable stay in a great location
We recently stayed in this home for my daughter's soccer tournament in Tucson. It comfortably fit our family of six. The beds were really comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and centrally located. Tanya left some goodies for us when we arrived - we felt spoiled! She was so helpful and we felt very well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Tucson.

Spacious, Comfortable and Quiet
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home with our family of four. Our kids (11 and 14) each had their own room and lots of space to be on their own. We appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was and all of the amenities. Thank you, Tanya!

I'm so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay! You guys are welcome back anytime!
We enjoyed our stay at the Lester House in Tucson. We had family from out-of-state, and from overseas that stopped by during our stay. The nice pool and playroom kept the children busy the entire time. We would gladly stay here again in the future. Convenient location to many shopping venues and leisure activities. Responsive manager to any requests and needs. Thank you very much for a memorable stay.

Beautiful home
In town for my grandmothers 90th Bday party and decided to rental a house near the Host hotel. We are so happy we booked this downtown Tucson home. Loved the updated decor, spacious with all the amenities you would want, located on a private cul de sac street and close to stores & restaurants. Tanya was very flexible and accommodating!

This property is beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had an emergency situation and needed a place to stay pretty quick for a family of 5. We were able to book this house on short notice and it was completely ready for us. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the pool. There is beautiful artwork throughout the house. We were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.
My wife and I stayed with our daughter there before she moved into the dorms at U of A. The house was spacious, with plenty of space in the kitchen, dining area, living room, and bedrooms. The AC was great since it was over 100 degrees outside! The pool was warm and clean. Thank you to our host, Roman, for being responsive and helpful!
We had 3 different commencement ceremonies to attend on the U of A campus on 3 different days. It was a very convenient location for the back and forth. The host was accommodating and communicative. We enjoyed the backyard space and pool during down time. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Roman Urias
I was born and raised in Tucson and work as a Realtor fulltime. I love sharing my home with travelers, and am happy to help offer suggestions or answer any questions you may have during your stay.
Why they chose this property
This was my very first house, and will always be my very favorite. I put a lot of work and love into the property, and am happy to share that love with others. I furnished the house with mid century modern flair to really bring out the charm and character. Using it as a vacation property allows me to still enjoy the house as well.
What makes this property unique
This house is truly adorable. From the butcher block countertops, to the huge stone fireplace, and large private back yard with pool, you will not be disappointed. Beds are super comfy and the tangelos in the front yard are delicious!
