Fantastic Property

Stay here was close to family, thus excellent choice for the 4 of us. Well stocked with coffee, tea, spices. Hard to say anything bad about it. Only 1 idea to make it even more outstanding would be to replace the mattress on the lower pull out bed of the room with the 2 beds ~ it’s too squishy. Otherwise it’s the best house I ever rented.

Great property

Overall impression of this property is outstanding. The host has gone above and beyond with considerate small touches that make a big impact on your stay. Coffee, snacks, and spices are just a few of the conveniences. The house and outdoor areas are very clean and lots of natural light. Campus is a quick 11 minute walk. Neighborhood is safe and centrally located. Walking distance to Floras and other restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful

This is the perfect property for a stay in Tucson! We came to the area to visit the University and take in a volleyball game and a football game. The location of the house is such that it was just a quick walk to both. The house exceeded our expectations. It is decorated and furnished with such attention to detail that you feel so comfortable and taken care of. Everything you could need is provided. Coffee, bottled water and snacks were much appreciated by all members of our family. Amy was a fabulous host. She checked in with us to make sure we were all settled and asked if we needed anything. We loved the putting green and the safe neighborhood. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Tucson. Thank you, Amy!
