The guest house was conveniently located and very private. Would have given 5 stars, and this is picky, but the pillows were really uncomfortable. Otherwise it was a great stay.

Authentic desert living with easy access to everything

We really enjoyed the stay and had a lot of walks down to the river. Friendly encounters with neighbors, their dogs, some shy coyotes and less shy javelina were common. Both the coyotes and javelina were easily avoided but fun to witness. Also saw a couple of bobcats who were exceptionally shy and didn't like that I spotted them. Access to the Tucson Loop was close and safe for bike rides daily. The kitchen was well-equipped. I brought my own coffee making device for stronger coffee than the Mr. Coffee drip maker provided.

Perfection

Let's start with the most important question: would I rent this again? YES!!! Loved it. Great location, easy to get to everything. The mattress was the right firmness for me and I slept well. The place was super clean. Lots of privacy. Lots of storage with the dresser and walk-in closet. Never a problem with the wifi. Could not have been happier. I've stayed at a number of Vrbo rentals and this is one of the best.

Serene Relaxing Home Away From Home

I grew up in Tucson and love the desert. Being able to sit out on this idyllic patio and watch birds and prairie dogs from the kitchen window was perfect. Brought my watercolors and sketchpad and with a casita well stocked and comfortable, I could take time just for me….a respite thoroughly enjoyed!

Comfortable

Certainly everything we needed was available here. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio, the fully stocked kitchen and appreciated having use of the laundry room. There are a few points for improvement that we hope will be taken as constructive criticism. With the check in information there was no key code to access the apartment and the wifi information was incorrect. A text to Liz after we arrived soon gained us access and the correct wifi info was in the desk folder. I would suggest redoing the folder pages which look shabby and confusing with all the cross outs. Also a scrub around the cabinet pulls would make the kitchen great. We had to ask two different times for a car to be moved in order to use a designated parking space. Our stay was very nice and hope these points will make your place the best!
