Affordable, spacious gem is modern, gleaming, w/lots of glass letting in Tucson light and views, and chic counters, attractive wood cabinets, glass backsplashes, and comfortable beds in large rooms with attached full baths that include beautifully tiled showers and distinctive vessel sinks/faucets. Too many nice touches/unique fixtures to list. We liked the no-touch, sensor-activated kitchen faucet, which has an excellent sprayer. House perched high above city, close to Catalina mtns, and from it one can see into Pima Canyon. Seemingly every kind of flower that can thrive in Tucson grows around the attractive backyard pool/spa/patio area, which even has a metal fire grate. Even quite a few large, fragrant white roses blooming, not a common Tucson feature. A lot of work to keep roses here! Black-chinned Hummingbirds consistently fed on tubular orange flowers. Saw small, colorful Verdin bird feeding on berries at patio, + Cactus Wrens + Roadrunners in yard. Neighborhood quiet w/dark night skies for star-gazing, great for walking by day; as you walk higher there are unfolding dramatic views of mountains/valley. House well-appointed with everything a family could need. We were welcomed with a gift basket of treats + a nice welcome note. Delightful manager Lorraine was in touch via text/phone to welcome us, answer qqs. Kitchen passed "colander test” (+ all other tests): Many rentals forget to provide a colander for washing fruit/draining pasta, but Sin Vacas had 3 types of colanders each good for different purposes! They thought of everything for kitchen. Dishes, mugs, cups, silverware are all new, neat, and make you want to own them at your home. Variety of coffees were provided for the Keurig; only thing lacking was decaf. Ample attached pantry had lots of free items. Not stingy on anything in bathrooms either: Large bottles of desirable shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap, and enough toilet paper to outlast our 11-day stay and next few guests too. Many rentals give a pittance of TP despite high fees, requiring guests to spend time and $ to go buy more while on vacation/working, whereas even cheap hotels give enough TP! Sin Vacas provided plenty. Ditto on paper towels. TV package good, w/new 4K TV, living rm. couches and chairs firm, new, comfortable. Laundry rm. has it all, even Resolve. Will return here, if we can get it! A few hrs after we left, my 8-yr-old son asked, “When can we stay at that house again?”
