Wonderful house, clean with a large courtyard in the rear. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. Denice was quick to respond to any questions we had.The property is perfectly situated for biking and walking and is quiet at night. It is about a mile and a half from University of Arizona, and an 8-minute walk from a nice brewery and restaurants.
