A beautiful place to stay for up to three people. Villa Blanca has everything you will need for your visit. The main bedroom is lovely and the trundle bed is surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom is small, what you would expect in an older home. They back yard is a wonderful place to relax, and enjoy the morning/evening.

This home is gorgeous and bursting with Southwest charm. It’s got everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, and the location is both central to anywhere you’d want to go in Tucson, and yet very quiet. Parking is easy, as is getting around from this location. Host Erica gave us lots of information about local attractions, restaurants and such, and responded within minutes anytime we messaged her. She’s a great host — there with whatever you need, but never intrusive. Check-in/out literally could not have been easier. This was our first visit to Tucson, and it was amazing. We’ll certainly return, and we will certainly try to stay here again if it’s available. We’ve stayed in a lot of short-term rentals, and we’ve never had a better experience. This is a great place.
