The house was very clean, with a comfortable queen size bed and good pillows. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, including coffee for the coffee maker. The wifi worked well. The house is located back off the street, it was very quiet and felt safe. The host frequently contacted me to see if we had any needs.

Wonderful casita for a couple. It was clean, well equipped with the little kitchen perfect for making breakfast to be enjoyed outdoor in the little cactus garden. The living room area with a door is great if one of you is a night owl and the other likes to go to sleep early. Nice area, just far away from the busy street that takes you everywhere in Tucson to be quiet but still perfectly walkable. Highly recommend Tito and Pep restaurant just around the corner. Amazing food. We would certainly look to book again if we find ourself in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Taylor & Yuko

Taylor - I'm originally from Oxford Pennsylvania though Arizona has been my home since 1997 and I absolutely love it! Cooking, gardening and reading are just a few of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I love to travel and am very friendly and personable and enjoy meeting new people from all over the United States and beyond. With that said, hosting is something I enjoy very much :)

Motto: " Live for today, Plan for tomorrow, and Learn from Yesterday"

Yuko - Born and raised in Japan until Junior High, went to High school and college in Tucson Az. Just started my apt in Fukuoka as rental , for I plan on returning to Arizona here in the near future, though Fukuoka will always be "home". Keeping my place there keeps me connected for when I return, Which will be 2-3 times annually. Very much a people person, and this Vacation Rental has been rather fun..:)

Together - We make a great team and We look forward to meeting more people via VRBO

Why they chose this property

This is the adjacent property to my private home, which has another casita behind it that we use as a vacation rental. So if this one isn't open, inquire about the other. With that said, We absolutely LOVE the neighborhood. You can't get any more centrally located to EVERYTHING to do in Tucson ! Close to U OF A, hiking golf, great restaurants, parks, botanical gardens, malls, downtown entertainment etc, while located in a well established quiet neighborhood that was built out in 1940's.
