My stay was absolutely lovely. Was here for work so this was really nice to have especially with the location being SUPER close to the university. Quiet neighborhood. Home is on the older side and not as modern but still great. Easy process, property manager was super helpful and quick to respond. Only complaints: listing online shows it in a completely different location verses where it actually is. Much closer to the university than I expected so I didn’t need to rent a car to what I was doing, I could just walk (which for me was a plus) not sure if that’s a website issue though. Some paint was lifting in the shower which made the esthetic lack a little, but just a cosmetic thing. Lastly, the shower/ tub seems to need an update, but once again an older home, so just a preference thing. Overall, loved my stay. Porch was beautiful, location was perfect, multiple sleeping options for several people, older home but had ac modifications that made the Tucson heat disappear. Several great food locations near by. Enjoyed my stay Would definitely book again.
