This upstairs loft is the original Tucson firehouse. It's the perfect location to experience university life!
The unit is in a triplex and is located upstairs (requires going up and down steps) with a private entrance and balcony. There are two long-term rentals below.
NOTE: While this property does not have a washer and dryer in the unit, a laundromat is just a two-minute drive away, and past guests have found it quite convenient.

Just one block from the U of A, this historic neighborhood has a mix of coffee houses, bars, restaurants, single-family homes, and apartments. There is a bar across the street, and Screwbean Brewing is just around the corner. (It's a great place with in-house brewed beers, seltzer cocktails, espresso-based beverages, and food from local businesses!)
NOTE: There is a bar across the street that often has live music. It can be especially noisy on the weekends, so this might not be the best spot for you if you're looking for a quiet, tranquil stay.

I ended up not staying here, but couldn’t get a refund of any kind. Owner permits not even partial refunds 13 before the stay begins even if family emergencies arise.

Clean, Cute and Great Location!
Had a wonderful stay at this charming and spotless loft apartment! The location was perfect—close to campus and in a great neighborhood. Communication with the owner was excellent, and they were incredibly responsive to any questions. Had a minor issue with hot water, but it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Overall, a fantastic experience, and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

Convenient Location, Responsive Property Manager
Great stay overall! The property manager was very responsive when we had some plumbing issues with the shower and sink, everything was fixed by the next day, and they checked in to make sure we were comfortable. The location is convenient for a quick stay near the University. We appreciated the host’s willingness to work with us on a fair resolution, which made for a positive experience.
