Clean, Quiet and Comfortable

My pickleball partner and I were in town for a tournament. The house was conveniently located near the airport and downtown. The house was perfect for our needs - clean, quiet and comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with salt, pepper, sugar, oil. Host provided ample coffee and creamers. Washer/dryer onsite. A/C worked great in the near 100 degree days. Water pressure strong. Hot water was hot. Off-street parking in driveway. Host was excellent communicator.

Truly Enjoyable

All points of interest were easily accessible from the house. It was large and comfortable enough for our whole family inside and in the garden. Communication with the host was pleasant and requests and questions were handeled or answered immediately. The house was well stocked with towels, kitchen utensils and condiments etc. Our stay was truly enjoyable.

Visiting for Thanksgiving

This property is perfect if you would like to be near campus. It's an easy walk or short drive. Being close to a Safeway grocery store was a bonus for us. The layout of the house was nice with the bedrooms being on one side of the house and all the shared living space on the other. The backyard was comfortable and made for another nice space to relax. Everything was as it said it would be. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location and Host

Our daughter is a Wildcat student athlete. We booked to get her situated at school. This place was great! It is well cared for. Quiet neighborhood, yet very close to campus, shopping, zoo, and botanical gardens. There is a paved running/walking trail right down the street and we used it every night!!

Weekend Get Away

We spent a weekend at this location and what a great location it is! A relatively quiet neighborhood with a great place to stay. The house was more than what we bargained for with great space in the three bedrooms, and an very spacious back yard with a relaxing ambiance!! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!!!

Go Pokes!

Six of us traveled from Wyoming to Tucson to attend the Arizona Bowl and cheer on the Wyoming Cowboys. The house was close to the stadium so it was perfect for us. My only recommendation would be that more than one towel be supplied per guest.

Great Loc for UA Visits - Immaculate

My family stayed here for the UA move-in period. The property is a little over 1mi from campus/dorms ... only a few minute ride. The place itself is impeccable and incredibly convenient. Restaurants and markets are very close. Nidia has thought of everything. Just show up with a backpack. We didn't cook here other than to use the Keurig. Super easy visit to Tucson.

About the host

Hosted by Nidia Jones

Host profile image
We love to travel around the world and experience different cultures. We love to cruise, and stay at bed and breakfasts because we love to have great rooms and look forward to special attention that hotels just don't provide.

I was born in Mexico and my family immigrated to the United States when I was a child and one of my proudest moments was when I became a citizen of the United States right here in Tucson!!!

My husband and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary in 2024 and we are the proud parents of two beautiful kids. One is going to college and the other graduated in 2020 from UofA as a registered nurse and works at a local hospital.

Besides being fluent in English and Spanish, I also speak some Japanese.

My motto: This is the land of dreams, One dream at a time!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our home because it is soooo close to UofA, Downtown Tucson, shopping, hospitals and has easy access to the freeway.
