This house was exactly what my wife and I needed for our stay in Tucson. It was a central hub between all of our destinations that was very easy to get to from any direction. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen had anything we needed, every room was nice and clean, and the washer and dryer were so nice to have available. The host was also very pleasant. Just a perfect stay all around.
