This was such a great Airbnb. So clean. Very comfortable mattresses and bedding. The electric car charger was a fantastic amenity. The location is lovely and close to so many things. Brandon was a great host with good communication.

This house was perfect for us. We selected the house to share with another couple. It was great for two couples. The backyard is very generous and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds are comfortable and cozy. The house was very clean. Best part for us was location — walking distance to the beautiful University of Arizona campus and good restaurants. Rentals for Tucson’s bike share program were also close by, just a few minutes walk across a lovely neighborhood park. I highly recommend this Airbnb!
