There is a reason this house is loved by so many guests! This vintage home retains much of the original charm from when it was first built in 1916, but with just the right amount of modern updates to enjoy. Located in the Dunbar Spring Neighborhood, one of Tucson's first neighborhoods, adjacent to downtown and just 2 miles from University of Arizona, this 950 square foot home has one bedroom with a king-size deluxe bed for maximum comfort, a second bedroom with a queen bed and a pullout couch in the living room. It is decorated with a mix of antiques and modern pieces and contains quite a bit of art from latin and local artists. Heating, cooling and hot water tank are all new and energy efficient. Carport accommodates 2 cars and the driveway could readily house an RV. The kitchen has a full size gas range/oven and refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen is completely outfitted with everything you would need to cook/ bake at home, complete with pots, pans, bakeware, dish ware, toaster, blender, indoor grill, coffee maker, french press, expresso maker, a full array of herbs and spices. There is a full size washer and dryer. The bathroom has an oversize shower with 3 shower heads.

The outdoor area is gated, private and ample filled with lovely exotic plants and the best part The salt water spa pool with jets!
But the back yard!!!! This is one of the biggest highlights of our home! With the outdoor dining on the covered porch, the cozy outdoor fireplace with seating, they sound of the wind chimes, the bistro area, the safe and gated salt water spa/pool with outdoor seating, this is a place to recharge as a single traveler, enjoy romantically as couple, have a blast as a family, or host a party or gathering with friends (the former owners told us once there was a party out there that housed 150 people!). There is a lovely cactus garden, outdoor bar, outdoor mini 'fridge, grill and twinkling outdoor lighting to enjoy your evenings!

    This is our second time staying here and we love it! The location is perfect providing proximity to the downtown area and museums as well as the campus, with easy access to major roads leading to multiple recreation areas. We love the salt spa after mornings spent hiking. The beautiful fenced in backyard was great for the dogs and us. The kitchen was stocked with necessities to prepare meals at home. The house is not fancy but clean, comfortable and welcoming. We always feel very much at home when staying here.

    This adorable 2 bed bungalow was perfect for our stay in Tucson. The bed & pillows were so comfortable, the bathroom had fluffy towels, the shower is amazing the kitchen was very well equipped. The patio and back yard face west and the spa pool was absolutely perfect for relaxing, it’s heated and only takes a little heat to take the chill off quickly. It’s covered so you can relax and not worry about being burnt to a crisp under the Tucson sun. The entire outdoors was beautifully landscaped and relaxing. We just lived our stay, and absolutely plan on returning. Unfortunately, our 9 day stay was cut short by a tragedy that occurred at our company and we had to leave immediately on our 6 th day. The mgmt was very sympathetic and helpful. They were very responsive to all our questions and concerns as well.Two things you should know:1. Trains. They are extremely close. They are very loud. Inside the very thick walls and excellent windows, they can still be heard, but not as disruptive. Outside you will definitely not be able to talk over them. This did not bother us at all. In fact,we became used to them after a few days & didn’t hear them much inside & didn’t disrupt sleep.2. The house is very dark. The living room is well lit w/ recessed lighting but the bedrooms need lights on the fans- bedroom 2 has lights but they don’t work even when we changed the lightbulbs. Really just a heads up because we loved this house so much it’s our new #1

    When staying in Tucson, access to water is essential, and this lovely home provided just what we needed: a Spa Pool that serves as a cool down during hot days or a warm up in the evening. And the landscaping in that yard adds to the feeling of an oasis in the dessert. Simply lovely.We also liked the art in the home and the fine location to downtown or major arteries to everything.

    We loved the location of this old vintage home. The home has a lot of character. One of the main reasons we booked this house was the outdoor spaces. It’s too bad that the owner chooses to not keep the outdoor space looking nice! Weeds all over the backyard, the back patio and front porch did not look like they had been cleaned in months. Several things looked worn out and old (cushions and rug on the back porch and the front porch railing and trim were starting to fall apart.) Loved the pool/hot tub but it was only cleaned once while we were there and we stayed for a month. Liked the carport but the bird droppings were GROSS! Doesn’t appear to have been cleaned in quite a while. Several people say the place was well stocked but we disagree. Had to ask for containers for food and not much in the way of cups, dishes and silverware. Had to run the dishwasher constantly. We also had very little laundry detergent and coffee. You would have thought they would have checked this stuff before we got there as we were staying for a month.We got the feeling the owner is just in it to make a buck and not interested in keeping up the house. The pictures are old. However, Melissa, I believe she is the daughter in law, was GREAT! She was very responsive to all the issues that occurred while we were there.

    My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. We were most excited for the private backyard and pool, and were disappointed to learn when we arrived that the “relaxing backyard fountain” was broken and the pool did not have functional jets- two things included in the listing description. The house is also a block from train tracks and it loudly passes by multiple times a day. The home had not been professionally cleaned when we arrived (the microwave had food splattered in it) and I had to ask the host for check in information the day of. I sent my concerns to the host and received radio silence. I’d look elsewhere.

    We loved this place! Especially the outside, the back yard. Totally private even though you are in a neighborhood. We (me, husband, 2 adult sons) used the spa almost every evening when the air was cool. It was fantastic! We loved the outside table and other outside areas for meals and hanging out late afternoon after daytime Tucson adventures. None of us minded the trains! Yes you could hear them when they went by but I love trains so no big deal. The kitchen had exactly what was needed for a few light meals. The beds were fine and comfy, extra pillows in closets, but if you must count on the sofa bed, I would say it was typical of pull-out sofa beds that I have used before, meaning not really that comfy. The bathroom shower was wonderful with a cool stone floor, glass blocks and 3 shower heads. Melissa responded promptly with questions and was great to work with. I would return here if we come back to Tucson.

    Loved the home and the outdoor living space is fantastic with the salt water hot tub/pool, back patio, and lovely landscaping. Great for a pet, the fenced in back yard provided ample space for outside time. The location is excellent for spending time in the heart of downtown and the U of A campus. Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Hosts were fantastic and very easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again!

    Very convenient to U of A. Loved the yard and pool. Small, but worked perfectly for the four of us. Neighborhood is a little older but we felt comfortable walking to campus, even at night. We will be back to visit our son and will definitely keep this place in mind!
