Amazing property
First VRBO stay and this property was perfect. Exactly as described by host Todd. Todd was in touch thru out the while process. The casita had everything we needed and more. It was so clean and fresh. Parking was so easy right at front door. We were able to walk to so many restaurants. Our grandson walked from UofA in 18 minutes from his dorm.Will definitely be staying here next time we go to Tucson.Check in and out easy.

Great communication/responsiveness
We stayed for a month and owners were extremely responsive, e.g., we had an issue with the TV and they just replaced it with a new one within a day or so! They reached out to us with info and were easy for us to contact, and they dealt with any issues quickly. Apartment is cozy and comfortable (note that kitchen is small, we mostly used the grill) and neighborhood is nice, very convenient to U of A.

Arizona parents weekend
Property was amazing and it was a wonderful stay. There was just a small issue at the beginning with the Wi-Fi and being able to access your personal apps on the television, but we would definitely say again great host and great property.
