This was, by far, the best location/host we’ve experienced in Tucson. The home was very unique, well cared for, and extremely comfortable. Brandon, our host was very accommodating and accessible. We come to Tucson from time to time to visit our kids and will definitely make this our go-to VRBO from now on. Thanks again Brandon!

We have been using VRBO rentals for several years now, and every amenity of this specific property was top-notch! The location is absolutely fantastic, especially given that our son is a student at University of Arizona. The house is extremely clean and comfortable, and everything was very thoughtfully prepared. We can’t wait to come back and stay here on our next trip!
