The written and photographic descriptions are accurate. We are from Canada's east coast and found Tucson's >100°F heat uncomfortable We were in Touson for a family illness and the host, while remaining unobstrusive, demonstrated empathy to us and was genuinely helpful. We would definitely stay there again. uncomfortable.wauncomfortafortable.

Shawn was an outstanding host. Always willing to help and suggested so many places to visit and experience during our fourteen days. There were many things we would not have thought of to do without Shawn's knowledge and thoughtfulness. We would definitely stay there again.

Overall it was a nice little place to stay for the price. It was clean and close to outdoor parks and the city. The picture is angled to show just the mountains but does not show trash cans and trailer on the other side.

Exceptional host
We so enjoyed cooking dinner on the patio grill overlooking the desert every night! The sunsets were spectacular and walking in the desert was fun too. Our host, Milan, was quick to accommodate a couple of requests we made, with enthusiasm! Also quick to help get out a couple of jams we brought on ourselves, which was very helpful. Loved that we were told to just leave everything for them to clean up as we had a plane to catch the morning we left. We would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing stay at the west Saguaro Park edge that is close, but not in, the congestion of Tucson.

Great and cozy location in Tucson!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy little cottage with a great view in Tucson. It is located in a perfect spot to allow you to get around easily. Communications with the property manager were very smooth. The room was clean and comfy. Many efforts to make it feel like home were evident including pre-stocked with drinks, books, games and tourist info. The towels were luxurious. Cannot recommend more highly.

Ideal couples retreat
Beautiful sunset vista. Quiet, convenient to area activities (we used it as a base for hiking west and east Saguaro National Park, Santa Rita and Santa Catalina mountains). Fun eating options, super clean, spacious. Modern kitchen and bath. Romantic fire ring with plenty of wood supplied. Responsive host. Relaxing weeklong stay. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Stay!
As a field geophysicist frequently on the road, I've seen my fair share of good and bad rentals. Shawn's VRBO property easily falls into the category of one of the best I've come across. I had the opportunity to stay at Shawn's VRBO for a single night before catching a flight later the next day. I was thoroughly impressed by the VRBO, the space is roomy, very clean, and had excellent temperature control. Although you share a building with the hosts, the space you stay in is completely separated and the hosts are incredibly respectful to your area. I had my own kitchenette, and bathroom attached to the bedroom.The kitchenette is a nice touch for any extended stays and is very nice + well stocked. The bathroom is also a positive, all the features in the bathroom were modern and definitely higher end. Everything worked smoothly and I was able to relax and take a long hot steamy shower after a long day. The attention to detail in the whole setup made a significant difference in comfort. I appreciated the layout and amenities that made my stay easy and enjoyable. In short, I can't recommend Shawn's VRBO property enough. For travelers seeking convenience, privacy, and quality, this is an excellent choice. No complaints!

Great spot for a solo get-away!
Location was awesome- just a few minutes away to grocery etc, but very quiet and serene. Easy drive to Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro Nat'l Park. The property was very clean, and check-in and communication was great. There is no stove - I didn't notice that at booking- but the sink, fridge, microwave was all I needed. Great shower! Other homes were nearby so it didn't feel totally secluded but I didn't see neighbors at all. Great patio/ awesome sunset spot. The owners were very welcoming.

Wonderful stay- great location and fabulous hosts.
We loved our stay at this property. The hosts were friendly, helpful and super responsive. The bed was very comfortable, the towels were soft and fluffy, and the hosts did a great job with amenities. They provided all soaps, shampoos, etc. and lots of litter extras like chocolate, trail mix, water, etc. The location was quiet with beautiful views of the mountains. A great place overall and we would definitely stay here again.

FANTASTIC LOCATION!
We have stayed in many Vrbos. I would rank this at the top! When we arrived, we were able to walk right in. Shawn is available for any questions. The view is spectacular every day. On the last night of our stay, I took a walk at sunset. The views were spectacular as the sun played off the mountains. The clouds in the west sky with the Saguaros in the foreground, what a view. I walked everyday. Best to walk in daylight, only because it is uneven gravel road. Super safe neighborhood. Watch for painted rocks by the neighbor's mailboxes. Enjoy the luxurious towels (5 star quality), trail mix, chocolates and Kuerig coffee. We found that most of our destinations were within 30 minutes of the location. Five minutes to the grocery store, Walgreens and a great Sports Bar. We highly recommend this studio Vrbo for a visit to Tucson.

Great distance to the Saguaro National Park
The place was perfect for what I needed. The place was clean, remodeled with. Modern appeal, and the view from the yard was beautiful. I took a nice sunset picture. It was also very quiet at night and I slept really good. The host very friendly and welcoming. One little problem is that it’s very dark finding the place after sunset. The GPS will not take you directly to the front door but close enough, so I recommend checking in before sunset if you can so you can see the house numbers from the corner.
