The host was great. Allowed us to check in early, quickly responded and the house was perfect for our needs with our dogs. Would love to stay there again.
The host was great to communicate with. We were a little early for check in and she got us in. Great property with everything we needed - will stay here again!
Wonderful 3 Bed/2 Bath House. Very clean and extremely comfortable. The owner has done a great job providing all of the necessary supplies one would be looking for in the kitchen, bath, etc. My family absolutely enjoyed our stay. We spent most of the time while we were there enjoying the patio. We will definitely stay there again when we’re back in Tuscon.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was perfect for our group of 5. There was just the right amount of indoor-outdoor space for all to enjoy. Stocked with all the basic necessities, we appreciated being able to pull together meals and enjoy on the patio. The very thoughtful decor choices gave the home a stylish yet cozy feel. Outside, the hot tub was appreciated and the scent from the orange trees in the neighbourhood added to the ambiance against the beauty of the skyline. For those not familiar with the area, we all felt the neighborhood was quite safe and had nearby grocery stores for convenience. We would highly recommend and stay again if ever in the Tucson area.

Thank you Tammy for your thoughtful and informative review. We would love to have you back to stay again!
Very comfortable for 4 of us across 3 generations for a short visit to family in the area. The back yard is a highlight, with plenty of places to sit in the shade. We loved the blooming shrubs! We would definitely stay there again!

About the host
Your host
We are from Portland Or and moved to Tucson in 2020. We were in search for a sunny, warmer place and fell in love with the desert. With backgrounds in Mortgage and Real Estate, my husband and I decided to become hosts to those wanting to experience the desert.
Why they chose this property
We love the convenient location to downtown, the airport, Saguaro East NP and Sabino Canyon. We were also looking for a more mid century vibe neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
We have grass for one thing. :) We love having a great outdoor spot to hang out, the fire pit, the hot tub and large patio make it great during winter months which is half the year. We also gave Fancy Granny a nice update but kept her fun vintage character so she is comfy and fun and has all the modern conveniences.
