Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home and its cleanliness. The futon was available and was set up with linens the evening of check-in once it was requested for an additional guest. We always do our best to accommodate guests promptly and appreciate you staying with us.
The house was perfect for our large group of adults! Great hang-out spaces indoor and outdoor. The kitchen had everything we needed. I LOVED the rainfall shower in the master bathroom. My only very minor complaint was that the fitted sheet would not stay on the bed. Overall it was a wonderful experience!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for the kind words—we’re really glad the home worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the spaces and the master shower.
We appreciate you being such great guests and for taking the time to share your experience. You’re welcome back anytime!
Great house for multi-family or generational stay!
This was a perfect house for our family while visiting the UofA! Each turn unveiled new rooms and great spaces for the 10 young adults, parents and grandparents to spend time in. We'll definitely stay again if it's available next time we visit.
Overall a nice experience there was a few flaws but Nicole was always available to contact when needed and was kind enough to help find a solution/compensate for those things. Definitely recommend this place for bigger gathering theres lots of space and activities to take part in.
We had a great stay. The house looks just like the pictures and more. The location is great and the host was quick to help with our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Jennifer for your review! We hope to host you and your family again next year or sooner!
Four of us came to Tucson for a golf trip. I booked Nichole's place because it looked nice in the photos and seemed centrally located for the golf courses we were going to play. We had an earlier flight and ended up getting to the house at 10:00 am. Nichole was great about letting us have access at that point. I knew we had a noon tee-time and originally I had asked if we could leave our luggage at the house while we were golfing. Nichole said no problem leaving it their while the cleaners were there or no problem if there wasn't renters the night before and thus, no cleaners. Anyway, we arrived and we found a closed gate and while wondering how we were going to get in, I exited the van and just pushed it open. Problem solved! The house was clean and the pictures were accurate. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt totally safe. There's an Albertson's about 4 blocks away so it was easy to load up on snacks and drinks. There's great food options within 10 minutes in either direction. My friends agreed it was a great choice and if we ever come back to Tucson we'll be contacting Nichole. Enjoy!
Property was exactly what our 6 person team needed for a work/play meeting. Enough room for everyone to have their own space great communal space to come together.

Bryan, thank you for booking with us! We greatly appreciate your review and happy to hear our home accommodated everyone’s needs. Hope to be able to host you soon!
Great property! Very spacious. We had 5 family members of 3 generations and everyone had their space. The separate game room was amazing so the young people could stay up late and be loud. Loved the outdoor space. Convenient location. Comfy beds. Modern kitchen and baths. Will definitely stay again!
Well appointed house with tons of high tech gear and amenities. Well decorated, clean and comfortable. The space that can be locked off is amazing. We had some work to do and having two desks, extra monitors, printer and paper was fantastic.
The house was great for our family as there was plenty of room inside and outside to play and just chat with each other after the kids went to bed. Well stocked kitchen. Convenient to drive to many sights but not a walkable neighborhood. Would highly recommend.
