This is a beautiful home and would stay again; but have some comments and suggestions: 1. Area is slightly run down/ lots of road construction, not too close to walkable streets. 2. As you exit the garage there is a high cement rise from the transition between garage and sidewalk which scraped our car and can cause damage. you can see how many cars have had same problem by the multiple cement cuts; easy fix: have someone sand down the cement rise. 3. Parking ; although it is somewhere in the internet, you should clearly state: how to provide parking for second car: Need a permit? there are not obvious parking meters. overall really enjoyed our stay.

This updated property was perfect for our family. We were celebrating a U of A graduation. Convenient for Ubers and driving and parking in the private garage. The outdoor patio is a great spot to sit and talk. And the inside is spacious and clean. Highly recommend.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at this property (our first time to Tucson). As listed, the home was clean and beautifully appointed. It provided ample space for our family with bedroom arrangements that suited our family perfectly. The office space off of the master was also great my son as he was able to complete some work tasks while away from home. My family really loved the beautiful, private patio space as we could spend some time together while enjoying the great Tucson weather. The location is fantastic as we walked to restaurants and was also in easy driving distance to other attractions (UA, Saguaro NP, Desert Museum). We would definitely stay here again!

House is well situated within walking distance of major downtown attractions. Among le space to spread out. Garage is challenging for longer or lower cars, but still workable. Convenient entry to house from garage. Lots of smart tvs.

Loud freight train nearby was annoying . Lack of basic providions including garbage bags, a sponge dishwasher soap, etc. We had to buy all kinds of basic things. There was no information including where to put the garbage. The water in one of the showers did not get hot. House in need of TLC. I do not recommend.

I rented this property for a sister’s weekend with my two sisters. The property was beautiful and had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the area and ability to walk around downtown Tucson and nearby restaurants. Having El Charro so close was a bonus! I would recommend it and definitely rent it again.

Quality-built historic home that perfectly accommodated our extended family gathering. Plenty of common space, we particularly enjoyed the courtyard’s fireplace and large kitchen island. There’s also a few great restaurants within a couple blocks.
