Great Mid Century Modern House in a Quiet Neighborhood

This was my 2nd stay here, also rented in May '23. House is just as described, copper plated on the outside, mid century modern and minimalist on the inside. Comfortable bed, and very comfortable couch where I took several naps. Beautiful, tree covered yard with an outdoor patio set where I ate several meals. This area is lit up with low-voltage outdoor lighting in the evenings, so you can enjoy it after dark. 5 minute walk to the #1 bus, which will get you downtown in approximately 20 to 25 minutes. A couple of bicycles to choose from, one road bike and one mountain bike, which I used every day. Powerful AC system, good water pressure. Room to park 2 cars off the alley in back. Not much to criticize at all! For the sake of objectivity, I will just point out one tiny thing, very small TV set, but hardly an issue, considering I never watched it. When I did contact the property manager via text, I always received a response within 5 minutes. Thinking of relocating to Tucson, would definitely stay here again until I purchase a home of my own.

Great little home...

The casita has plenty of room for two and is well equipped. We stayed three weeks and would have stayed longer had we been able. It's in a great mid-town location where you can be anywhere in Tucson in 30 mins or most of the hiking areas in 30-45 mins. The hosts are responsive and quick to help with any special needs.

Serene but lacking in amenities

This is a cute and clever property in the heart of the city, perfect for the exploration of Tucson. We very much enjoyed it. Several observations: (1) Security is a must; this is not a "sketchy" neighborhood, but it is clear that neighbors invest in security. The locks to enter Casa are not easy to manipulate, especially when it is dark. (2) Several dishes stacked in the cupboard were frankly dirty; we had to rewash many. (3) There were no facial tissues but one roll of TP; we purchased more. (3) A "dryer"? No; a drying rack is provided. (4) For the size of the bathroom, the provided bath mats are inadequate for a three-night stay. However, Casa is a bargain, and it is a "find".

Awesome Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The higher placed windows offered an opportunity for privacy and viewing of the lighting from the monsoons. We were only a few minutes from the hospitals, which was the reason for a visit and also minutes from the mountains, which we took advantage of as well. It was a wonderful stay. The place was clean and offered every amenity one could ask for. We do suggest putting in a Keurig and a TV that can be raised and lowered from the

What a beautiful place. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here at the Copper house. Very quiet and peaceful. Super comfortable bed, very clean, loved the full kitchen and really enjoyed all of the natural light. We were able to bring our dog and the yard was completely closed in. Highly recommend the Copper House!

Attractive and private

I needed a place to do a writing project. Copper House is so lovely. A nice desert garden area. Secluded by a fence around the property but still with a view of the mountains inside and out. A nice, clean minimalist, modern looking interior has all you need. Comfortable bed. Kitchen well equipped, and I do like to cook. Comfortable seating area. Tucked down an alley. Restaurants et al nearby. I hope to return and just vegetate!
