Cute, cozy and clean duplex in a convenient location with all the amenities a traveler needs. It's in a somewhat industrial area but offers plenty of privacy and security. Perfect for us!
Comfortable centrally located base to explore from
This location was a great base for us to explore the Tucson area! The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house is bigger than it looks from the outside. The location is on the edge of an industrial zone and was surprisingly quiet. Very quick access to the freeway, grocery stores and restaurants. Our host was very responsive to questions and was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
The home was well appointed & comfortable. Quiet location that had easy access. We enjoyed our stay as a home base to take in the desert attractions. Elena is a great host & was very responsive to our questions. A
This was a great two bedroom place! It was clean and private in a safe and quiet area. The beds were comfortable (I like a soft mattress, and this one was). The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. The location is close to the University. I had to ask a neighbor where it was when we arrived in the dark, the entrance is around the corner. In daylight, it is very obvious! I would definitely stay here again. Great place! Great location! Great amenities.
Came in from Alabama for our son’s wedding. This was a cozy place for us. Our son stayed the first night. Everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!!!
Came in for the weekend, enjoyed Tucson very much. Great place to stay, really clean, quiet and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your house with us!!!
This property was a great location to stay! Elena was very friendly and helpful and this location had everything we needed. I look forward to coming back. I would definitely recommend anyone stay here!
Really worked for our needs. Location was a little concerning, but i should have researched this closer before booking. Easy access to where we wanted to visit.
We were pleased with the property and enjoyed our stay. The location was close to many goods and services most people need on a day to day basis. We were also close to many outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, etc.
We would consider staying here again in the future.
I arrive later than anticipated due to a delay in my flight. However, once I got to the property, it turned out to be a lovely experience. And I would rent again.
Many small delights discovered during our stay.
Very thoughtful amenities.
Everything we needed was provided,
Elena was responsive to a couple questions.
I would stay there again if we need to stay in Tucson.
Thank you for thoughtfulness.
Very pleasant stay at a comfortable and clean locale in Tucson. Easy communication with host. Had everything our family of 3 needed. Note the address is N Dragoon, but the house is more situated on Riverview, follow the arrival instructions closely. Also note that the house is located in an industrial area, but we had no problems while staying here and would stay here again.
I visited Tucson for the International Mariachi Conference with two teens. The place was an average of 6mins away from the convention center which meant the two teens I traveled with could get the maximum amount of sleep. The place gave us space to hang out after the spending all day in workshops. It also gave the kids a place to rehearse and practice what they learned, and to prepare for performances. I loved having a kitchen to prepare all our meals. The grocery store was also nearby. My only complaint would be that most of the knives were really dull and cutting up vegetables hard. I really appreciated the covered car port which provided shade for our car and kept the heat a bit down. Great stay!
Cozy, secure duplex. Property host was great and answered phone immediately with anything we needed. Dryer wasn’t getting hot and even offered to pick up & dry our clothes at her home because repairman wasn’t coming till Monday. So very kind of her. Will definitely rent again whenever I return.
Only problem was trying to find the dark as the front doors are on the side street. But found due to lights in and porch where on.
Property very clean, well maintained. Sixth time to Tucson and enjoy staying in different neighborhoods with each visit. Centrally located for our interests. Would consider staying here next time.

Great weather loved the post cards
The little touches were nice, there's always something you forget when traveling so to have the q tips and hair ties was nice
Super clean and organized, great upgraded kitchen. Worth the stay!
Great check in and access to Netflix. :) Central location is nice and owners were prompt on responses.

About the host

My husband and I started hosting airBnB travelers a few years ago out of our own home, we enjoyed it so much we decided to purchase this cute little bungalow and offer it to travelers near and far. My husband and I live close by so we are always accessible. Im a local realtor and he is a teacher at a local high school. We love Tucson and enjoy recommending local hot spots for our visitors to see.
