The Wildcat

Summary:

Greetings, fellow traveler! Welcome to this delightfully quirky 2 bedroom, 2 bath historic bungalow located right in the heart of the action. This place is so full of character, it'll make your head spin (in a good way)! You'll feel right at home in this vintage charmer, located just off the historic 4th Ave business district. Shopping, Dining, and Public Transportation are just steps away.



Guest Access:

Must be aware the parking is a single drive which will allow 2 vehicles that are one behind the other but do not recommend large trucks as it will be difficult to pull in or out. This is in a alley way that is a legal street however feels like an alley way. This has a double gated driveway that you need to open from the inside after checking in first.



Other Things to Note:

The front gate will welcome you into the flagstone courtyard, where you can chill under the trees and soak up some of that Tucson sunshine. In addition a place where you and your pet can spread out or just cuddle up.



Inside, you'll find a fully equipped galley kitchen and a cute little dining area. The primary bedroom is a great place to crash at the end of the day with its luxurious king-size bed, while the guest bedroom boasts a full size bed and tons of natural light from all the windows. And with two full bathrooms, there won't be any waiting in line for the shower!



Need to park your car? Not a problem - the private gated driveway can handle two vehicles at once.



Now, let's talk location, shall we? This home is perfectly situated near the intersection of 4th Avenue and 6th Street - smack dab in the heart of the action. Choose from at least 8 different restaurants and bars within 100 yards of your front door. Coffee, ice cream, pizza, margaritas... you name it, you can walk to it. Plus, you'll be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the University of Arizona Main Gate Square, with its plethora of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops.



But wait, there's more! If you're feeling adventurous and want to explore the city, the Tucson Streetcar station is just a two minute walk. Hop on the trolley and get ready to experience all that downtown Tucson or head the other way toward the University.



This getaway is the perfect destination for those traveling without a car. So many options within such a short distance and easy access to public transportation. For you travel nurses, you can walk out your front door and onto the streetcar which will take you right to Banner UMC hospital. This home has so much to offer, so pack your bags, and get ready for a unique and unforgettable stay in the heart of Tucson!

This cute little house was located steps away from restaurants and other anenities. It was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. We liked that it had off street parking. The host was very responsive and even dropped by when we had a slight problem.
