District House

Loved the house, we had a three day event to attend in South Tucson, and the location was perfect, obviously not a resort location, a little noisy on 12th, but it was quiet at night, and sleeping was good. The house was great, I liked the gated parking and back access, and the house was charming and quite comfortable, beautiful kitchen and nicely stocked, very nice bathrooms....I will say that the AC/Furnace is very new, digital modern, and really works great, that was very welcome too...

Mystical and Unique, a True Artist's Masterpiece.

Felt cozy and right at home with all of the lovely decorative touches throughout the home. The owner is a true artist and we really loved all the original paintings and pops of bright colors that gave the house a bright and cheerful vibe. The space was bigger than expected and we really loved the pool table it was a great touch . It allowed for a fun night with a few close friends who lived in the neighborhood just one street over. And on top of it we had everything we needed. Already rebooked it twice and would definitely love to stay again in the future!

Sketchy area older home with little supplies

This home is in a sketchy neighbourhood on a loud street. I had to ask for hair dryer, toiletries and other supplies after arriving. Very little dishes and utensils provided. The bathrooms and beds were clean but the living room furniture needs replacing as well as the kitchen table (that is actually pool table). The pictures make the property look much nicer than it is. Wifi and Air Conditioning was good.

house

This house looks so beautiful and serene but it is by a very busy street and we thought we could get up and have our coffee outside which is way too noisey the house itself needed a very good deep clean as the floors were filthy and sticky
