Pot of Gold

Arriving at Villa Blanca on 3/17, confirmed to us that we had found the pot of gold! Erica's communication was timely and thorough. Her home is warm, cozy and inviting. It is located in a wonderful, historic area walking distance to the university. If you are looking for Old Pueblo charm enhanced with modern conveniences, Villa Blanca is the place.

University of Arizona move

This house was perfect for our trip to Tucson. Impeccably clean and artfully decorated- this adorable 1.5 bedroom home was conveniently located 2 blocks from University of Arizona. Erika provided a wonderful welcome gift basket for us and information about the local eateries, sights etc. The personal touches throughout the house made our journey to drop our oldest off at college an easy and enjoyable experience. We will definitely be staying here again when we come to visit our son. I highly recommend this gem of a home!
