A Nice Place Casita – Private Studio Near TMC. Pet-Friendly. Centrally Located
Welcome to A Nice Place Casita, your peaceful home base in central Tucson. This cozy, pet-friendly studio is ideal for traveling nurses, professionals on assignment, solo adventurers, and remote workers who need a quiet, well-equipped place to stay for a few days, weeks, or even longer.
This 320 sq ft private studio is part of the Tucson Travel Casitas collection—locally owned and hosted, never corporate. I live and work on-site, so if you ever need anything, I’m just a message away.
WHY GUESTS LOVE A NICE PLACE CASITA
~ Central location just minutes from Tucson Medical Center (TMC), Banner hospitals, and the University of Arizona ~ Easy access to The Loop bike/walking trail, public transit, and local favorites like Sabino Canyon, the Botanical Gardens, and historic 4th Avenue ~ Reliable, fast WiFi—perfect for remote work or streaming ~ Private entrance ~ Off-street parking in front of the home ~ Comfortable queen-sized bed with blackout curtains for restful sleep ~ Smart TV (log into your own streaming services) ~ Clean and tidy kitchenette with everything you need for simple meals ~ Handmade body soap, clean linens, and thoughtful touches throughout
Whether you’re working in Tucson or exploring its natural beauty, this studio gives you a safe, serene space to return to each day.
THE SPACE
A Nice Place Casita was once a bedroom in the main home, thoughtfully renovated into a separate guest space with its own entrance. It’s quiet, welcoming, and infused with local charm.
Inside, you'll find:
~ Full-size windows that bring in natural light ~ Original oil paintings by Sybil Williams, a beloved Tucson artist (and my grandmother), that give the space a warm, personal feel ~ Cozy armchair for reading, relaxing, or watching TV ~ Queen-sized bed with blackout curtains for a restful night's sleep ~ Smart TV with streaming access (no cable or antenna) ~ High-speed internet for work, browsing, or entertainment ~ Dedicated closet with space for hanging clothes and storing suitcases
The kitchenette includes a 10 cu ft refrigerator with freezer, microwave, hot plate, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and basic cooking tools. It’s ideal for reheating meals or cooking simple dishes while you’re away from home.
The full private bathroom includes a combination tub/shower, fresh towels, and a bar of handmade soap from my sister brand, Alō Goods.
NEIGHBORHOOD & GETTING AROUND
The casita is located in a peaceful, mid-century neighborhood with wide streets, mature desert landscaping, and easy access to everything Tucson has to offer.
Nearby: ~ The Loop trail (2 blocks away) ~ Tucson Medical Center, Banner UMC, and other major hospitals ~ University of Arizona campus and medical school ~ Sabino Canyon, Rillito River trail, and Reid Park Zoo ~ Local grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and live music venues
Transportation options: ~ Free public transportation route nearby ~ Optional eBike rental available by day or for your entire stay (ask for details after booking)
HOST INTERACTION & SUPPORT
I live in the main house and work from a converted garage space onsite. You may see me biking by or tending the garden, but I respect your privacy and won’t intrude on your stay.
You might occasionally hear the normal sounds of life through the shared wall—similar to what you'd expect in an apartment. If you’re working night shifts or have specific quiet hour needs, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
I’m always happy to answer questions, recommend local spots, or help troubleshoot anything that comes up.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
The casita is stocked with all the basics to make your stay smooth and easy:
~ Fresh linens and bedding ~ Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths ~ Kitchen towels and dish soap ~ A bar of handmade natural body soap ~ Two rolls of toilet paper ~ Basic cooking utensils and dishware ~ Cleaning tools for your use during longer stays
Please note: These supplies are not replenished during your stay. If you’re staying for an extended time, you may wish to bring or purchase additional paper goods or pantry staples.
PET POLICY
One well-behaved pet is welcome. This space is best suited for a single animal, as it’s compact and intended for solo guests.
~ Please supervise your pet at all times while outside. My cats roam the yard and are generally friendly, but they don’t always love surprises ~ No potty pads allowed ~ Pet waste must be cleaned up immediately. Bring your own waste bags and dispose of them in the bin on the north side of the driveway ~ If your pet causes damage or requires extra cleaning, I will request reimbursement through the booking platform
CLIMATE CONTROL
The casita shares an HVAC system with the main house, set around 74°F in summer and 67°F in winter. A personal fan and space heater are also available to adjust the temperature to your comfort.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
~ The studio is best suited for one adult guest ~ Not suitable for infants or small children. The space is not childproofed ~ Exterior Blink security cameras are located at the casita entrance, driveway, and main house entry for your safety. No indoor cameras are present ~ A local cleaning service is available for longer stays—ask after booking if you’d like details
