Pleasant stay. Really nice landlords - I enjoyed my interactions with them and their dogs by the pool. Unfortunately pool was too cold to swim but the pool lounges were a nice place to relax with a book. The interior rooms and bed linens are quite dated but beds themselves were comfortable (beds are on soft side). The solar tube skylight over the bed in one BR was problematic for my son who slept there. Plentiful hot water and parking. Kitchen quite small but full sized fridge and plentiful dishes/pans makes meal prep possible.

Comfortable casita and dog friendly

Thank you Liz for being a great host! The house was larger than I was expecting with living room, small kitchen, 2 good sized bedrooms, and 1.5 bathrooms. Back yard was nicely fenced/walled so our dog had a safe and large area to run around. Pool is not heated so did not get to swim. Location was central to everything we needed to get to. Overall was a good experience and I would stay here again.

Quiet, charming, dog-friendly pool property

The host was kind, helpful and responsive. The place had all the amenities I needed, a pleasant pool and a dog-friendly fenced back yard. The covered back patio, with a pool view, was a perfect place for coffee in the morning and to watch the moon rise at night. The space was well configured and comfortable, and the property has enchanting, mature foliage. I felt safe walking around the neighborhood, and it was easily commutable to everything I wanted to enjoy while in Tucson.

Great stay in Tucson!

Wonderful property in a great location. Stayed here for our daughter’s graduation and it was perfect - far enough away from UofA to avoid the crowds but close enough to go back and forth. Property is in a nice quiet neighborhood and has a nice, private backyard. Liz was wonderful host and communicated regularly. Thank you!

Centrally located casita

We loved the location as it was close to the Huckleberry Loop, Trader Joe’s and other businesses. Equally distant from the East and West Saguaro National Parks for hiking. The casita isn’t large, but it has everything you need. And owners were responsive to our questions and requests.

It was such a pleasure staying in Liz's guest house. She's an amazing host and we felt at home and welcomed on her property and in her neighborhood. Liz is outstanding at replying to all queries and respectful of her guests. My family would absolutely stay at Liz's guest house again in a heartbeat. Her property is located close to everything and walking in her neighborhood is a joy.

Perfect!

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this casita. It was exactly as listed. Very clean, close to all that we wanted to do, very comfortable beds, everything you can imagine you’d want in the kitchen, and very peaceful. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again on another trip to Tucson.
