This house was exactly what my wife and I needed for our stay in Tucson. It was a central hub between all of our destinations that was very easy to get to from any direction. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen had anything we needed, every room was nice and clean, and the washer and dryer were so nice to have available. The host was also very pleasant. Just a perfect stay all around.

Splendid Property

We booked this property at the last minute in connection with a move from Santa Fe to Tucson. Communications with the host were very easy and she was very flexible when we had to add a night.The property is in the Sam Hughes historical area of Tucson. We have stayed in probably 5 VRBOs in that area, as well as many domestically and abroad. This property is by far one of the best we've experienced, ranging from apartments in Paris to resort condominiums in Hawaii.It is spacious, private, quiet, well-maintained, and (for us, traveling with 2 dogs), a perfect pet-friendly place. Frankly, it is hard not to keep adding superlatives and we'd recommend the property to anyone. Were we not now going to live in Tucson, we'd seek this property out whenever we planned to return.

I cannot say enough about this property. One of the best I’ve rented! The house is exactly as described. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood. It was very clean and well stocked - everything you need in the kitchen - plus, they even provided a few snacks! The layout is great for 2 or 4 people - very comfortable beds - plenty of room to spread out in the house - has a nice dining area, living room and small desk/study area. There are 2 full bathrooms - one for each bedroom. Awesome to have a washer and dryer for a longer stay. Easy to follow instructions for easy check-in/check-out.
