Graduation stay
We rented both A and B for our Daughter’s U of A graduation and were very happy with our stay. The houses were very clean and had everything you could possibly need. The location was perfect, walking distance to the University.

Ohh the Bungalow
This property was exactly how it was described. Everything in order and Julie and Scott were awesome to work with. They made sure it was clean and comfy and was always there to answer any question we had quickly. If you're looking for a place... Get the Bungalow! :)

Snazzy and comfy
Great location for us — very central. Very comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. Walking distance to U of A main campus with coffee shop, brew pub, and other conveniences in walking distance. Pretty cool just to walk around the neighborhood and check out the houses and AZ landscaping. If there are several in your group, consider getting the adjoining rental, too. Only one bathroom with the “A” bldg rental. Bldg's A and B share a backyard.

Beautiful place for student move in
We rented this charming and well-equipped home for my husband and I to get our Wild Cat settled. The three of us stayed here 3 days while washing and drying and preparing for freshman move in. It had lots of room, comfortable beds, an alarm, great a/c and is so close to campus. Easy running back and forth to get acquainted with campus. Close to everything.
Love the decor. Julie responded quickly to questions.
We will stay here again!
