I did pull out the trundle in the living room and was met with crumbs. The shower and kitchen were clean enough, though. You need to park your car inside the gate in order to ensure it's safe. It's kind of a production to deal with the gate if you're coming and going a lot. The first night I was there, there were 2 gunshots on the block, so a little scary. Also, there were lots of stray dogs and some weird people out and about. For what it is, the price is right. ##### Rebecca A. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### nyomie m. 15 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### Stay in a pinch It’s a spot to rent if you are looking for a short term rental in the South Tucson area. It comes equipped with a gate as well as furnishings inside. One of the best things about my stay here is a discovered a place called Pico de Giyos. It’s a beautiful and cozy spot that may be small, but it’s big on flavor. While everything on the menu is delightful, their shrimp tacos are the true standout. Perfectly cooked shrimp are tucked into soft, warm tortillas and topped with fresh, flavorful ingredients that create a burst of taste in every bite. Each taco has the ideal balance of textures—crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy on the inside, making them a must-try for seafood lovers. Another highlight at Pico de Gallo is their beans. Often an overlooked side dish, the beans here are rich, creamy, and packed with a depth of flavor that’s hard to forget. They pair perfectly with any dish, especially the tacos, providing a comforting and satisfying complement to the vibrant flavors of the shrimp. This spot is more than just a meal; it’s an experience that celebrates authentic Mexican flavors with heart and precision. For anyone craving fresh, authentic Mexican food, Pico de Gallo delivers in every bite. ##### nyomie m.

Minimal information on local amenities provided by property manager, so best to do your own research and planning. Property conveniently located within a short drive of the airport and Kino Sports Complex (if that is what brings you to Tucson). Photos/description on listing did not make it clear that access to the bathroom requires walking through second/smaller bedroom. Thermostat/climate control is not super intuitive and it took some doing to find a comfortable temp. Decor is dated if that matters to your satisfaction. Very minimal/basic kitchen amenities, so plan to eat out or bring/buy your own cooking spray, basic spices, etc. Property located in an older, more depressed section of Tucson if local color and flavor be your aim. ##### Christopher L.
