This rental includes exclusive access to the private second-floor studio and its attached balcony. The studio is located at the back of the house and is accessed via an outdoor staircase with a separate entrance. Free street parking is available.
Please note: The front gate, front yard, and side yard are shared spaces with the downstairs unit. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE BACKYARD IS RESERVED FOR FIRST-FLOOR GUESTS ONLY. We kindly ask that you be respectful of these areas and keep noise to a minimum, as other guests may be staying below during your visit.

CREDIT CARD INFORMATION REQUIRED UPON BOOKING: The host requires a credit card hold / temporary pre-authorization (“security deposit”) to cover incidental expenses including (but not limited to) necessary additional cleaning costs due to guest negligence, removal of (or damage to) property, lost keys / rekeying costs, and other extraordinary expenses that are not the fault of the host. These expenses will be charged to the credit card provided. If the incidental expenses exceed the amount of the credit card hold or the available credit of the credit card, the guest will be responsible for these damages as well.
Also, if you're interested in renting the entire property—including the first-floor home for full privacy—or just the first-floor unit, there are separate listings available. Click on my profile and scroll to the bottom of the page to find the appropriate booking option.

About the host
Hosted by Max Banach
I’m a longtime Tucson local who genuinely enjoys creating spaces that reflect the beauty and culture of the Southwest. Hosting gives me a chance to share a bit of the city I love and welcome people into a home that’s been thoughtfully curated to feel warm, relaxed, and distinctly Tucson. When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me outdoors, hiking, biking, or exploring local trails with my wife and our two dogs, Asher (a Great Dane) and Junior (a Maltipoo).
Why they chose this property
We chose the historic Amory Park neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of local charm and downtown convenience. You’re just minutes from the heart of Tucson, yet the neighborhood feels peaceful and tucked away. There’s amazing food, historic architecture, and incredible mountain views all around, plus we love how walkable it is. It’s the kind of place that feels like home even if it’s your first time visiting.
What makes this property unique
The home itself is a piece of Tucson history, full of character, original architectural details, and old-Southwest charm you don’t find in newer builds. We’ve embraced that heritage by designing the space to highlight its unique bones while adding touches of modern comfort. From hand-textured walls to vintage tilework, it’s an authentic, beautifully preserved desert retreat.
