He was thorough in providing Welcome info and area details. We did have some issues with internet. Once he was aware, he was prompt to gain resolution. The location was really one of the best features of the listing. We did a lot of cycling, hiking, and exploration of Tucson. The location was central enough and close to the interstate as well as the Rillito bike path(s), so everything was ez enough to access. The space of the house was nice with room for everything. Off street parking for several cars was also a . Not the fault of the owner, but the location was noisy due to master BR facing street traffic on Curtis St and a nearby construction company that started each day with machinery noise at about 6:30 AM. The noise made it inadvisable to have the windows open during the night time hours. ##### Gary P. Stayed 23 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Teri H. 14 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 2Night Stay We appreciated this property. Beds were super comfortable in all 3 rules. I would suggest no rug or a rug that lies flat under pool table- the one there is a major trip hazard. Air worked great! We appreciated the ease of departure. ##### Teri H.
