The kitchen was well stocked with really nice dishes, the rooms very comfortable. This adorable little house is super cute and all of the neighbors were very nice. The outdoor patio space was so relaxing. I was bringing my handicapped daughter and it was nice to find a place without carpeting and the handicapped accessible bathroom. Highly recommend!

Nice place would stay again.

Very well equipped kitchen was appreciated. The location is "central" in that downtown is to the west and the newer section of Tucson to the East. Lots of restaurant options. Overall it was quiet. But one morning one of the neighbors started his "fart car" and it literally shook the house. But it only happened once.
