South East Tucson. Clean, Quiet Home

Property was as described and was an excellent vacation rental.

It was the perfect location and size for us. Easy access to the highway and shopping. Host was wonderful and accommodating.

It was the perfect place for us, located in between several family members, and so close to groceries, gas, bank, shopping and freeway. The only thing I missed was a TV in the bedroom. I use it to watch and and zone out so I can fall asleep.

First the good – The house was very clean. Linens were all fresh. Bathrooms had no issues. Living room was comfortable and good for visiting as a group. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly, stores and restaurants were conveniently located. If you are looking for a place to use primarily to sleep, and do day trips most of the day, this is a good house. The Bad – For those of us that spend more time in the rental house then out, there were some areas that could have been improved. First, most of the dishes in the kitchen had residue on them. Typical of people who think they can just put things in the dishwasher and expect them to be clean (which we all know is not true). There were also several basic things missing that $20 at a $1 store would easily solve. A can opener, a liquid measuring cup, clothes hangers (since there are no dressers in the bedrooms), some more washcloths, a shower curtain liner. The box for the TV that was supposed to be able to be able to use Netflix etc would not connect to the internet. And the master bathroom toilet occasionally leaked. The Ugly – We travel with 2 dogs so I was willing to spend more money for a house with a nice backyard. The photos of this house had a nice green yard. When we arrived, we found a yard filled with nothing but foot high dry weeds. Our poor dogs were covered in burs and foxtails. Then they tracked them into the house. We had to sweep everyday and we still ended up with them in our clothes. I know it is nearing time for winter seed and if it had been a bare earth yard I would have understood, but the weeds were unacceptable. On top of that, the backyard furniture was covered in spiderwebs so there was no way we were going to sit outside and enjoy the weather. And then there was the refrigerator. Every 10-15 minutes it would make a terrible noise. Clicking a whirling. Since the fridge was still cool we tried to ignore it but after a while it was very irritating.
