Super location and lots to offer!

This house was perfect for our needs! We have come to Tucson for nearly 20 years in the late winter to get out of the cold and into the sunshine. We've tried out a variety of neighborhoods, but our favorite is in the general area west of the university and north of downtown, near 4th Avenue. The house was just a block away from both 4th Avenue and downtown which was terrific. We walked to most places in the area, but it was great the streetcar was right there too. Marcus was a wonderful host. He responded exceptionally quickly to the couple of questions we had and we very much appreciated the parking place he provides in the front of the house. The house itself was quite comfortable. The mattresses on the beds were incredible. We both have occasional back trouble, but no problems here. We slept better here than at home. The bathrooms were updated and there was plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well stocked and we made use of everything in it, cooking in on many nights. The only drawback is that there is no dishwasher, but for a vacation it wasn't a problem. The backyard patio area was also wonderful. It is spacious with a nice table and chairs. The only surprise was that from time to time during our stay there were additional people staying in the carriage house at the back of the property, but we would have never noticed them except for a few comings and goings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would gladly return to the house in the future. Thank you, Marcus!

Great place to stay

Five stars across the board. Everything as decribed, very close to downtown/4th ave, easy to get anywhere in Tucson from there. Great communication from the host. My favorite part was the beds... i travel frequently for work and these are the best beds I've slept on in years on a trip. Thank you.

Old Tucson

The location was perfect for walking the downtown, old town and university areas for restaurants, bars and free tram. The house was very comfortable with all amenities needed. Only down side is the noise from trains and neighbors. All in all a very nice stay.

Great accommodations, excellent location

Marcus's house is in an awesome location; easy walk or public trans ride to downtown and surrounding areas. House is very well appointed, neighborhood felt safe, neighbors were friendly and informative. Being new to VRBO rentals, this one set the bar pretty high. All and all an excellent experience that made the trip to Tucson that much better.

Steps away from downtown

Great location to downtown area. Girl friends went for a concert at the Rialto, but didn’t want to stay downtown with the street noise. This house was perfect and exactly what we hoped for. Great communication, clean, and comfortable beds and space. We were able to walk to and from downtown and felt safe.
