VERY good location! Loved the nearby coffee shop, short walk to lots of fun restaurants and bars. Quiet street, we were a little confused on the parking at first, but figured it out! Not fancy but perfect for us as we explored Tucson and the surrounding area.

We had a great 1 week stay in this cute carriage house. The location was great. Lots of nightlife, food, free trolley on 4th street around the corner. Downtown area with similar items is a 5 minute walk. To enhance the stay, the property needs a couple wall shelves with hooks. You could place your things on the shelves and hang your backpack, purse, hat, jacket, etc on the hooks.

We are two friends on an Amtrak trip west. We stopped over in Tucson and this little place was perfectly situated for someone traveling by train. It's very close to a lively, funky neighborhood, but the street itself was very quiet. Great coffee shop on the corner and an excellent grocery coop in easy walking distance. The tram is right there, as are docking stations for e-bikes. We were very happy we stayed here.

Heart of Tucson

I really enjoyed the convenience of being within walking distance of Fourth Ave, downtown, and the UofA campus. Empire Market grocery store is just steps away. The next-door neighbor’s cuckoo clock and the Union Pacific trains might be bothersome if you’re a light sleeper. Loved the enclosed patio between the front house and this rear carriage house. I would stay here again.

Almost perfect!

We loved the little Iron Horse Carriage House. Small and stylish, excellent location for walking around. We loved everything about it including the owner's prompt responses to any questions. Honestly, for the price I don't feel justified in complaining about a thing, so all I will say is bring a blowdryer if you're expecting one to be there, and don't be weirded out by the brick wall behind your head on the bed, seeming paper thin. Just enjoy yourself and don't be concerned about what might be heard between you and whoever is on the other side! We would gladly stay there again.

Could have been so much better

From the moment we started communication with the property manager, I was concerned. I was told I was to receive check in information 2-3 days prior to check in. Day of, I still had yet to receive and I had to reach out. This resulted in multiple emails and miscommunications on Christmas Day.The property is NOT as advertised. There was no washer/dryer, no hair dryer, and it was only one bathroom. Again, had to email to get communication for WiFi- this seems simple but let’s set people up for success? The property has a terrible smell… let me tell you why. There is obvious mold growing in the bathroom and my husband changed the air filter for them , because it was gross! Property seems to need some basic cleaning that needs to be done in the kitchen and the bathroom , don’t even get me started on the toilet scrubber, yet they want you to sweep before you check out! Kudos to them for their DIY handiwork but they need some work to be fixed before they rent the property out again for the same price as the hotels right around the corner that are brand new..the shower is EXCEPTIONALLY narrow. Heater/ ac unit is very Loud and even if you turn off, can still hear the other unit. In addition, there is construction happening next door. Neighborhood is quaint but may not be for everyone due to local bars and nightlife.

Great little place with easy access to downtown and University areas. So many restaurants and things to do. Place was clean and simple with a nice outdoor patio. Only thing was we thought there was access to W/D, but that is in the primary rental on this property and not accessible for this casita. Highly recommend this rental for shorter stays…it is awesome. But for longer stays, like us for a month, the laundry situation was more difficult. The host was quick to respond to our requests which helped tremendously.
