The Desert Getaway is a peaceful retreat in the heart of Tucson. The 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio-style home shares the private, walled courtyard with one other structure: a second 1-bedroom, 1-bath home.
The home is crafted in the classic desert style and boasts a lovely queen-sized bed with a well-appointed kitchenette. Please note that this is a studio-style space. There is no door between the bedroom and the living room, and the bathroom door is a barn door. Due to the lack of privacy between the bathroom and the other two spaces, this unit may not be ideal for groups.
Additional amenities include air conditioning and heating, high-speed wireless internet (100mbps download), wireless-capable flat-screen TV (use your Netflix account), coffee maker, microwave, and gas BBQ.
The space is well-equipped. Upon your arrival, you will find coffee, basic cooking supplies and seasonings, soap, dishes, pots and pans, towels, a hair dryer, and an iron. We have tried to think of everything, but if you find you are missing something, please ask, and we will do our best to provide it!
The property is a surprising oasis right in the middle of Tucson. It`s located in the Hendrick Acres neighborhood, a convenient midtown area close to everything -- just off the Mountain Avenue bike path, 2 miles north of the University of Arizona, and 3.5 miles northeast of downtown Tucson.
The property is within 2 miles of great restaurants, bars, grocery stores, cinemas, shopping, and parks. You will love the serenity, the classic charm, and the convenience.
During your stay, you will access the studio through a private gated entrance in the courtyard. A covered carport is available to protect your vehicle from the Tucson sun.
Bathroom: Shower. Please be aware that our hot water heater is fairly small and only lasts about 10 minutes at a time.
Patio: Grill, covered parking, fire pit, and laundry behind the front unit (backyard amenities shared with guests in the front unit)

Nice, but has some drawbacks.
The casita was newly remodeled, very clean and neat, and well-equipped with electrical appliances of every kind. The bed was soft and comfortable, with fresh sheets and a plethora of pillows. Light switch locations were a bit awkward. Most concerning is that the front door threshold is an extreme tripping hazard and should be remedied. The communication was so intense, it felt like the owners are control freaks.

I was in town for just a couple of days for a work conference and the VRBO was a great, quiet place to relax at night. Thanks for a good stay!

Overall good. Would have liked to have an ironing board to go with iron. Was hear for funeral and clothes needed to be ironed out of suit case. Also a foot stool or chair with way to elevate feet. After driving for four days from Florida, my feet and ankles were swollen and couldn’t lay in bed to watch TV as no TV in bedroom.
