Everything was just about perfect during our stay. We wished the bedroom blinds kept the sun out in the early morning. There were no tvs in either bedroom, which wasn't a huge deal because I had my laptop, so we were able to watch tv in the bedroom before bed. The neighborhood was very quiet, and the back yard was very nice. The house was very clean and the setup of everything was lovely. We would definitely stay again.

"La Casita Encantada" was the perfect location for my husband and I to stay while we searched for our new Tucson home. It had all the amenities we needed for a month-long stay including a comfortable bed, great kitchen and laundry facility. The A/C was very cold and was appreciated as our stay began July 5. The location was perfect for us to explore the area. Lots of shopping and restaurants close by. We also had our 8 y/o border collie with us. She enjoyed exploring the fenced back yard. Thanks for a lovely stay!!!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Casita. Taylor was a friendly host. He left us snacks and fruit which went beyond what he needed to do. The house was comfortable and our dogs enjoyed the huge backyard. The neighborhood seemed safe and was quiet with friendly neighbors. Would definitely stay again!

We always appreciate places that are safe and welcoming to our pets. This place was brimming with southwestern charm. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed, and all the rooms were nicely spacious. The backyard was absolutely lovely and the host very responsive. The house was rather dark though, the pictures represent it in a very flattering light. Both beds were a little uncomfortable: one was too soft, the other one too firm. I guess it needed a third Goldilocks option. :) Aside from that, the area was amazing, quiet and safe, and we recommend the place.
