This quaint home in Tucson is lovely. It had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped and it nice to work in. I was a little concerned in one bedroom, as the wall outlets are weak and my phone charger literally fell out of it. Other than this tiny detail, I would literally stay here again.

The kitchen was well stocked with really nice dishes, the rooms very comfortable. This adorable little house is super cute and all of the neighbors were very nice. The outdoor patio space was so relaxing. I was bringing my handicapped daughter and it was nice to find a place without carpeting and the handicapped accessible bathroom. Highly recommend!
