The yard was fenced and kept our dog in while we were supervising her outside. The property was clean and everything worked. The host responded quickly to our inquiries

Close drive to U of A where my son had his internship at. Grocery shopping, food, cat cafe, & Ross near by. Host was great with any & all communication. Cozy and pretty quiet place to stay with a grill, washer, & dryer. TV in upstairs & downstairs areas as well. Will definitely stay here again if I go to Tucson again

A very nice home. The getting in with all the different locks and codes was a little complicated. The heat didn’t work, but the owner immediately fixed it so very thankful for that. He’s awesome. Overall, a great experience minus the jigsaw puzzle lol would definitely stay here again.

Had everything we needed but a bit inconvenient - multiple gates, codes, lockboxes. Getting luggage up the spiral staircase, no bathroom downstairs.
