Gave description 4 stars because it’s even better than you think. Private and dog friendly. Found no issues with the fence keeping my dog in when they wanted to go out. Bigger than it looks in pics. Area is ok but it is close to a lot of attractions. We were on hikes and a sight seeing visit.

Best Stay Ever!
We had such an enjoyable and comfortable stay in this beautiful casita! From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were captivated by the beauty of the landscape and charm! When we walked through the front door we were so excited at how clean and cozy everything was and we knew we were going to have an incredible stay, which we did! It was so nice to cook meals, sleep comfortably, watch movies and use the grill in the yard. We even impressed our guests when they joined us for a bbq. We will definitely be back and look forward to another future stay!

A lovely casita with great hosts
This was the perfect place for our recent visit to Tucson - comfortable, cozy, with a lovely yard and decently equipped kitchen. It was close to a number of really nice restaurants and not too far from downtown and the university. The hosts were exceptionally responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Tucson Weekend
When we checked in while in front of the property, we realized we confirmed the incorrect dates. We called the owner, he stated he'd meet us in 5-minutes, he was at the property in 2-minutes. We were panicking because we also had our adult dog with us and needed a 2-night stay. Fortunately, the other party renting the unit had to leave early, so the owner helped up secure the weekend rental.He couldn't have been any more helpful and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay in Tucson.

Decent stay for the price
The outside was super cute, in a quiet neighborhood. a bit of a strange layout. I wish the interior was as nice as the exterior. It was just ok. Decor was random and sparse, the bed was a metal frame on wheels. Both the pillow shams and the comforter were obviously worn with a few visible holes and appeared to need a washing. There was only one towel and no bath mat on my first of two nights. The cutting boards and bowels were dirty. One of the 2 burners on the small stove didn't work. Overall it was just ok.

Our Adventure in Tuscon, AZ
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our pretty casita in Tuscon. It really is a charming place. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had a few items to help with meal making. There is plenty of shopping in the area and great markets to go to. We had wonderful weather and took full advantage of the lovely landscaped yard, which is totally fenced so our dog was able to roam around. There was so much to explore around the area. We went to the Botanical Garden, Saguaro National Park, Desert Museum, Biosphere 2 (a must see) and the San Xavier del bac Mission. We loved going to Reid Park for dog walks! So many other places to see and enjoy. Taylor and Yuko take pride in their little gem!

Nice place, a couple small updates would be great.
We had a good stay at Taylor and Yuko's place. They were friendly (over text) and flexible on check-in time as well. The outdoor area is great.Note that this casita is one of two rental properties on the same lot. Each has its own outdoor space.A couple of things that could have been improved:1) A small shelf in the shower would have made it easier to place toiletries in there. This is especially good for guests (like me) with mobility issues, since it removes the need to keep bending up and down. (The property is otherwise accessible.)2) The "second bed" in this listing is really a fold-out couch that was too flimsy and uncomfortable for my friend to use. Don't think of this as a true two-bedroom property.Other than that, we had a great stay.

It was ok, just pricey
It's a comfortable casita, clean, well stocked with essentials. Parking was easy. Yard was fenced, but I wouldn't leave a pet unattended as the front gate wouldn't close. My dog escaped, which wasn't fun due to the busy roads nearby. This was my final night of a 6 week cross country road trip with my dog. It ended up being the single most expensive night on the entire trip because I was hit with an additional "pet fee" after booking. I had done many rental bookings throughout my trip, always noting that I was traveling with my dog during the booking process. I was stuck with this additional pet fee after booking because of course I booked last minute & could not cancel. Just annoyed with the five star price for a three to four star place.

Lovely hosts
We actually met Yuko and their young son as we were checking out, and very much enjoyed talking to them. It was immaculately clean, and when I needed them to replace the propane in the grill, they dealt with it immediately. Two things that you should be aware of before renting, though. The layout is rather odd; the kitchen, while quite well equipped for a VRBO property, is in the same area as the bedroom. This was a bit of a problem for us, as I aways awaken hours before my girlfriend. So I had to disturb her putting my breakfast together and getting the coffee going. And (to be fair, like much of Tucson) it is not a great walking neighborhood. It is not pedestrian friendly, and there isn't much around it as a destination.
