About this property

Saguaro Suite: Sam Hughes Studio Near Campus

Saguaro Suite is our compact upstairs studio in Tucson’s Sam Hughes Historic District, near the University of Arizona. The 327 sq ft casita has its own entrance, one queen bed, a private bathroom, and a kitchenette. Your reservation is for the studio only; the main house and downstairs casita are rented separately.

KEY FEATURES
• Open studio with one queen bed, for up to two guests
• Private bathroom with a tub/shower combination
• Kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster, and drip coffee maker
• Wi-Fi, a workspace, and a smart TV
• Mini split for heating and cooling
• Shared backyard with outdoor seating, dining, a grill, and a propane fire pit
• Free washer and dryer in the shared laundry room
• Two designated rear-driveway spaces, parked in tandem

LIVING AND SLEEPING
The queen bed and living space are in one open room, with no separate bedroom. Linens, pillows, and blankets are provided. There’s a workspace for planning your day or catching up on work, and a smart TV for downtime.

BATHROOM
The private bathroom opens from the studio and has a tub/shower combination. We provide towels, a hair dryer, and starter toiletries.

KITCHENETTE
Keep drinks and leftovers in the mini fridge, reheat food in the microwave, or make toast and coffee before heading out. The kitchenette has a drip coffee maker, dishes, glasses, mugs, wine glasses, silverware, and a wine opener. It is set up for simple food preparation rather than full cooking.

OUTDOOR SPACE AND LAUNDRY
The backyard, outdoor dining area, grill, propane fire pit, and laundry room are shared with guests in the main house and downstairs casita. Those accommodations have separate entrances. Their interiors are not included in your reservation.

PARKING AND ACCESS
Use the designated spaces on the left side of the rear driveway, with two cars parked one behind the other. The other rear spaces serve the downstairs casita; the front driveway is for main-house guests. Street parking requires a permit. This is the upstairs unit, so access involves stairs.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The University of Arizona campus is nearby, with dining, museums, and campus activities within reach. Banner University Medical Center, downtown Tucson, Fourth Avenue, and the Sun Link streetcar are other destinations within driving reach. This is an active university-area location on 6th Street: campus events, game-day activity, and marching-band practice may be audible. A car is useful for exploring beyond the neighborhood.

YOUR HOSTS
We’re Bree & Bear, local Tucson hosts welcoming guests since 2011. We don’t live on the property. Reach us through your booking platform between 9 AM and 8 PM Tucson time. We’re happy to share local recommendations.

Immaculate Casita in a Convenient Location

Completely enjoyed my stay in this immaculate casita. The location near the U of A saved me so much time as I was on campus within 5 minutes. Parked my vehicle a few steps from the door.

Good location near campus and bike boulevard

I enjoyed my short stay at the casita. Tucson is a great place to bike and the unit is blocks away from the 3rd St and bike boulevards. The Loop trail system is not far away. There was plenty of parking. Be sure to carefully follow the instructions on locating the entrance and on entering the unit.
