Nice little place

Nice cozy place. Will stay again if available. Only drawbacks for me were the small shower and having a large vehicle the driveway parking was tricky at times.

Perfect little place for one person to visit my UofA son

I've stayed here before and I will return again. It's the perfect close spot to visit my son at the university, and to do some computer work. It's small but perfect for one! Could use a few upgrades like some landscape trimming and blinds that close all the way in the bedroom. However, it's clean, Elizabeth is super responsive, the birds are lovely, and I slept like a baby!

Great little place

The property was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed it very much. My only suggestions are that the bed is a bit squeaky (wd40) and the yard/trees need a little trim. The appliances were is great working order and we had no issues. It was perfect for us and we would stay again. Thanks

Adobe on Waverly

This place is very nice for 1 or 2 people. Not big enough for more than 2. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked, but small. It’s best to have only 1 person in the kitchen at a time which worked well for us. Living room with a love seat and recliner also works well for 2 people. The neighborhood is clean, quiet, and appeared very safe. We walked a lot and enjoyed the area. There really is no community connection so if you are looking for that this neighborhood is not the best. People we met while walking were very friendly. We spent a lot of time in the yard which is nice. Gas grill was used a lot. Laundry was a real convenience which we used. All in all a nice place and very affordable. Elizabeth was very accommodating with any questions we had. Check in/out was a breeze.

Comfortable and cozy

We enjoyed our stay in Jefferson Park. The location is great. You can walk to the university, and there’s easy access to stores and restaurants. The house is small but clean and comfortable, and the yard was good for us and our dogs, fenced with both sun and shade.

Very quiet, wonderfully simple

The neighborhood and property are wonderfully quiet. The space had everything we needed, plenty of seating options and excellent heating and cooling. The patio is a huge positive , private and cute with a couple chairs and a bistro table for happy hour! The casita is a little dated and the shower tight for a 6’2” man but it all functioned, so consider it a good value.

Great quiet neighborhood near everything

I enjoyed Tucson and this place was a great home base. It was easy to get everywhere from here. The neighborhood is quiet, and I felt comfortable staying there alone. The place is perfect for a single guest. Comfortable bed, nice linens and towels. A sweet back yard, fully fenced.

Weekend at U of A

This property is located in a nice neighborhood very close to the University of AZ, which was the main reason we chose it. It is a little older but the location was most important to us. If you will be spending a lot of time at the university this is a good option for the price.

Perfect little house for visiting U of AZ

This is a small guest house accessed from the alley. Elizabeth met me at the house to review the "house stuff" (helpful to go over how to access the Roku/TV). She was friendly and checked in on me the next day by email to make sure my stay was going well. The house is very small and clean, older, with a nice tree covered patio to enjoy the lovely April Tucson weather. I was able to walk to the U of AZ campus to visit my son. The only advice I would give is that the shower is very small, so a person above about 5'10" or with a "larger figure" would be very cramped and banging ones elbows on the walls and knobs. I would definitely stay here again by myself. Thanks, Elizabeth!

Cozy house

We stayed for 6 months and enjoyed the property. The home was very well supplied with Detergent, coffee, spices and paper products. There were plenty of towels and . We enjoyed sitting on the patio (with a glass of wine) and cooking on the gas grill. We also appreciated the full sized washer and dryer. There's lots to do in Tucson and we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed staying at the Adobe Guest House! It was small, but adorable and cozy. Elizabeth was a great host- she met us to let us in and show us around and she was super easy to get in touch with. She was also flexible about our check-in time. We would definitely stay here again!

Sparkling clean. The little courtyard was great for our dog. Super responsive and friendly owner.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is small, but has everything a couple could need. Comfy bed in a cozy bedroom great heating and cooling (although we didn’t need the AC in December). Cute and very clean. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends/family..

Excellent Stay

Needed to take a quick getaway for the new year, and the Waverly guest house had all the amenities, at a great value. The place is clean, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen had all the utensils and dishware, and I didn't have to go to the supermarket to pick up a missing utensil or knickknack to cook my meals. Overall this place is solid, great for one or two guests.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

I am a realtor and a horticulturalist. I have been a landlord since 1994. I love creating environments, however small, that are comfortable and relaxing. I grew up in Phoenix but fell in love with Tucson when I moved here to go to UA in the 70's. I live about 6 blocks from the guesthouse.
