This upstairs loft is the original Tucson firehouse. It`s the perfect location to experience university life!

The unit is in a triplex and is located upstairs (requires going up and down steps) with a private entrance and balcony. There are two long-term rentals below.

NOTE: While this property does not have a washer and dryer in the unit, a laundromat is just a two-minute drive away, and past guests have found it quite convenient.

We are available and interact through the app.

Just one block from the U of A, this historic neighborhood has a mix of coffee houses, bars, restaurants, single-family homes, and apartments. There is a bar across the street, and Screwbean Brewing is just around the corner. (It`s a great place with in-house brewed beers, seltzer cocktails, espresso-based beverages, and food from local businesses!)

NOTE: There is a bar across the street that often has live music. It can be especially noisy on the weekends, so this might not be the best spot for you if you`re looking for a quiet, tranquil stay.

PETS: This is a pet-friendly home, and guests are welcome to bring their furry friends! There is a limit of two pets, and the associated fees are $58 for one pet and $90 for two pets. (Fees are charged per stay, not per night. For two pets, $58 is included in the initial reservation payment, and an additional fee request is sent after booking.) We ask that pets not be allowed on the furniture and that guests pick up and discard any droppings.

PACKAGES & MAIL: If you need to receive packages or mail during your stay, please DO NOT plan to have anything delivered to the property. Instead, please plan to have packages or mail delivered to an Amazon locker, FedEx location, etc.
We are excited to have you stay with us! Please read the following rules carefully.

1. Respect for Neighbors: Please be considerate of our neighbors` privacy and keep noise levels to a minimum, especially during quiet hours from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am.

2. Unit Respect: Treat the rental unit with care and respect. Any damages or excessive cleaning requirements will be charged to the guest.

3. No Smoking or Vaping: Smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the rental property or on the property grounds. Violation of this policy will result in a $500 fine to cover deep cleaning and smoke odor removal.

4. No Parties or Large Gatherings: No additional guests are permitted on the property without host approval. Parties and events are not allowed in the unit or on the property. If a party occurs at the home, a $995 violation fee will apply, and the booking will be terminated immediately.

5. Pets: For our PET-FRIENDLY HOMES, guests are welcome to bring their furry friends! There is a limit of two pets. The pet fee is $58 for one pet or $90 for two pets. Fees are charged per stay, not per night. We ask that pets not be allowed on the furniture and that guests pick up and discard any pet waste. NOTE: An additional fee of $85 will be charged if our team finds evidence of pets on furniture or beds, or if pets cause excessive damage.

6. Lock Doors and Windows: For your safety, make sure to lock all doors and windows when leaving the property. Return key(s) to the lockbox when applicable.

7. Personal Belongings: We are not responsible for loss of or damage to personal belongings during your stay. We are also not responsible for packages delivered to the property addressed to you or your guests. Please secure your valuables.

8. Transient Occupancy; No Tenancy:
a) Guest’s stay is transient lodging, limited to the dates approved in advance and not to exceed twenty-nine (29) consecutive nights, unless otherwise agreed and approved by the host management company. The parties intend and acknowledge that this occupancy constitutes transient occupancy excluded from the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act under A.R.S. § 33-1308(4), and that it is taxed under Arizona`s transient lodging classification.
b) Guest represents that Guest maintains a primary residence elsewhere and will not use the Property’s address to receive mail beyond the stay, register a vehicle, obtain identification, or otherwise establish residency.
c) This Agreement creates no lease, tenancy, or possessory interest, and may not be assigned or sublet. The relationship is lodging operator and transient guest only. Any extension requires Host’s written approval and a separate booking.
d) Occupancy past the approved departure time creates no tenancy. Guest shall pay 200% of the nightly rate for each night of unauthorized occupancy, plus damages from any displaced reservations.

9. Innkeeper Provisions; Residential Use:
a) Host holds a statutory lien on Guest’s property for unpaid charges under A.R.S. § 33-951 et seq., with disposition as provided by A.R.S. § 33-952.
b) Host is not liable for loss of or damage to Guest’s money, valuables, personal effects, or delivered packages, except as Arizona law does not permit such limitation. Guest is responsible for securing valuables and locking the Property when unattended.
c) Per A.R.S. § 9-500.39, the Property is for residential use only. No retail, restaurant, banquet, or event use, and no special event requiring a permit. Occupancy may not exceed the number of guests stated in the reservation.
d) Host may terminate and require Guest to vacate immediately for material breach, including violations of the no-party, no-smoking, occupancy-limit, or nonresidential-use terms. No refund is due upon termination for cause.

10. Pool & Hot Tub Rules (if applicable):
a) No unsupervised children in the pool/hot tub areas.
b) NO DIVING.
c) No glass in the pool/hot tub areas. Any broken glass will require a full pool/hot tub drain. Guests will incur a $700 fine for any broken glass found in the pool/hot tub.
d) No swimming in the pool or using the hot tub after 10:00 pm. Quiet hours apply in the pool and hot tub areas, so please keep noise to a minimum after 9:00 pm.
e) Guests are advised NOT to stay in the hot tub longer than 15 minutes and NOT to drink alcohol while in the hot tub.

11. Fees and Charges: The fees and charges stated in this Agreement, including the $500 charge for smoking or vaping (Section 3), the $995 charge for an unauthorized party or gathering (Section 4), the $85 charge for evidence of pets on furniture or beds (Section 5), and the $700 charge for broken glass in pool or hot tub areas (Section 10), represent the parties’ reasonable pre-estimate of the losses Host would incur from the corresponding breach, including remediation, deep cleaning, odor and damage removal, lost or displaced bookings, and administrative cost. The parties agree that such losses are difficult to determine with precision at the time of booking, and that these amounts are intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. These amounts are in addition to, and do not limit, Host’s right to recover for damage to the Property under Section 2.

By booking with us, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to these terms and agree to be held responsible for any breaches.

Thank You!

Great location for experiencing all that Tucson has to offer! Loved the brewpub and NYPD Pizza, which were a block away. Easy access to public transit. DT and 4th Ave are walking distance. As is the best coffee I've ever had...Presta Coffee! And I know my coffee.Felt very safe, as a solo female traveler.Bed and overall vibe was very comfy. Loved the SW decor touches. Just the right amount of "boho". Thank you for a great stay!

Convenient Location, Responsive Property Manager

Great stay overall! The property manager was very responsive when we had some plumbing issues with the shower and sink, everything was fixed by the next day, and they checked in to make sure we were comfortable. The location is convenient for a quick stay near the University. We appreciated the host’s willingness to work with us on a fair resolution, which made for a positive experience.

Had a wonderful stay at this charming and spotless loft apartment! The location was perfect—close to campus and in a great neighborhood. Communication with the owner was excellent, and they were incredibly responsive to any questions. Had a minor issue with hot water, but it was resolved quickly and efficiently.

During my stay I unfortunately saw, killed, and cleaned up multiple roaches, house flies, and other insects I don't know the name of. I had to book a hotel at some point in my stay because the roaches were too distressing for my peace of mind (while I was also studying for my medicine board exams during my month long stay). I was disappointed when this was all communicated to the hosts without any partial refund or coverage of my 2 day hotel stay. Outside of this issue, the apartment is nice with a full kitchen (stove, sink, refrigerator). The living room has a rustic design and the bed is comfortable with a walk in closet. I liked that it came with a parking spot.

We stayed here during the time that we dropped our daughter off to college. We chose this property due to the proximity to campus and the pictures online. The hosts were incredible at communication - absolutely exceeded expectations. The location was a very short walk to campus and we enjoyed the area very much. The rental unit is on the top floor of a triplex and we found it smaller than we expected but candidly it was on par with the description for the unit - so that was entirely on us.

It was adorable! The only reason I have one of the items about how it relates to online was because the pictures show no stove but there is! A whole kitchen we were able to prepare meals in! It was clean, the bed was comfortable/the couch! I fell in love with that couch it was so comfortable! The host was very communicative, and polite! The Only only thing I could have wished more for was water pressure in the shower but I understand that sometimes those things can’t be helped and that’s okay it didn’t take away from our stay at all!
