Absolutely stay here! We had the best time. Bruce and Ann left personalized notes and even snacks for us. The house is so cute and well-appointed. We lacked for nothing. It's walkable to campus. Bruce and Ann were great hosts and we didn't have any problems with anything. I would definitely come back.

U of A grad weekend

It was perfect. Close to the university, clean home, felt very safe. Ann and Bruce had some extras that we appreciated after travel, ie cold water in the fridge, homeade cookies, a bag of chips and jar of salsa. Our daughter graduated so we aren’t likely to go back, but I would highly recommend it.

Tucson stay

We all found that the beds were a little hard and the pebbled flooring in one of the bathrooms was uncomfortable for showering. Apart from that, and missing a dishwasher, it was a very nice property and very conveniently located in Tucson.

Amazing house

A few of us came to visit a friend that lives in the area. We did a few searches and found Casa Reina, the pictures looked amazing but it’s even better in person. Such beautiful touches inside and out. Bruce and Ann had fresh baked cookies and plenty of snack and drinks upon arrival. The beds were comfortable, we all slept like babies. You are walking distance to the UA stadium and a little hike to some shopping but wasn’t bad in the beautiful weather we had. We have told our friends and family about your little gem. Thanks again!

House very welcoming with many special touches. The Christmas tree, snacks, souvenir postcard, homemade cookies all added to our Christmas experience. Beautiful artisan pieces through out the house were perfect. Patio was very comfortable and quiet. The convenience of downtown only a mile away. Easy access to many restaurant choices and shopping.

Perfect Oasis

We absolutely loved our time staying at this property! We were in town to get my daughter ready to move into the dorms at U of A, so it was wonderful to have the space to bring home our shopping scores, take things out of boxes and get them organized, and even wash her sheets and towels ahead of move-in day. The house was such a beautiful and restful place to come home to at the end of each day. The host family has a true eye for decorating -- blending cool and calm colors and textures with lively pops of color in tiles or artwork, crystals, and local objects. We even arrived to homemade cookies in the refrigerator and a package of chips and salsa! We communicated with the owners a couple times over our week there, and they are genuinely nice people and wonderful to work with. I'm already planning a return to Tucson, and I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Wonderful Experience

What a great stay! The hosts were wonderful and so welcoming upon our arrival. They provided bottles of water, some carbonated beverages, bag of ice, homemade chocolate chip cookies and chips and salsa ready for us when we walked in the door. The space was open, comfortable and had a nice feel to it. There was a nice patio area in the back with some shade. The kitchen is on the smaller side but it worked perfectly since there was only three of us. The bedrooms were also comfortable and there were extra blankets if you needed them. We loved our experience and plan to return. The hosts made our experience memorable.

A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Casa Reina is an absolute jewel! Well appointed, spotless, with its historical charm it will capture your heart as soon as you open the front gate. The house is spacious and has a wonderful private backyard where you can relax while observing the hummingbird coming in for some nectar. The host is superb, we found homemade cookies, a well stocked fridge and a welcoming handwritten note. The hosts were prompt in replying to to our messages and everything worked out like a charm. The location is central to everything, shopping, the UofA, Tucson Sonora Desert Museum, Downtown (including the superb Gem and Mineral Museum hosted in the historical Court House), restaurants… The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Don’t miss out, make this place yours for a while.

Comfortable getaway close to university campus

Terrific location, clear instructions from our host made it easy to get situated. The back patio and yard gave us a lovely setting to relax upon arrival. We were two sets of couples and the house was perfect to give us each privacy since the bedrooms are separated into two different wings. Clean, comfortable, great set-up. If we return to Tucson, we'll stay here again in a heart beat!
