Sep 5, 2013 #### Villa Blanca Mariposa - Review We stayed at Villa Blanca Mariposa for a week in August, and can only echo the comments of previous reviewers: Erica keeps the place in immaculate condition, replies promptly to any communication, and goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome and at home. Our concerns about traffic noise from 6th St proved unfounded too. In fact, the location was perfect for us (easy walking distance to the University of Arizona). The only improvement we did suggest regards the kitchen where a cranky chest of drawers and a somewhat erratic set of utensils makes cooking on the (fantastic) gas stove a little cumbersome. That's almost nitpicking though - we totally enjoyed our stay and would be back in a heartbeat! ##### AJ T. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emilah D., Albuquerque, New Mexico Mar 28, 2013 #### Charming home, charming visit! Villa Blanca was a lovely place to stay for our visit to Tucson. Having lived in Tucson for 7 years, I was happy to find a well furnished rental close to the university and all the things I love. Erica furnished the space beautifully. The bedrooms were spacious and the master had lots of dresser space. The half-bedroom was small but sweet. The kitchen has every appliance, dish, cookware, and utensil I could possibly need (and I cook a lot). Overall, it was very comfortable and homey for the three of us. A couple of notes....if you plan to bring food and cook, there is not a lot of dry good storage space in the kitchen. It is tiny and although functional in terms of how it is outfitted, not so functional for storing food that does not need to be refrigerated or plugging in the fabulous appliances. The icing on the cake? Erica was very generous with our check-out time when my husband got ill from food poisoning the night before we were due to leave. She adjusted her schedule for cleaning and prepping the place so that he could rest and get it out of his system. ##### Emilah D.

I am from Tucson and love this style of home which is typical of Tucson and the Sam Hughes area. Erica has restored this house with obvious care and appreciation for the architectural details that make these homes special. Tucson friends and family who visited during our stay were charmed and impressed. We had to keep things neat because everyone wanted to look around. Our niece spent one night and so loved the house that she threatened never to leave. The furnishings are complementary to the style and reflect the care and pleasure with which they were chosen. Maintaining the original details means there may be the occasional sticking drawer but that drawer is likely supplied with all the linens or utensils you could possibly need. The house is stocked with everything and Erica left a pad for us to note anything we felt was needed but every time we thought of something a brief search would turn it up. Erica seems to have thought of everything, even to providing keys on easy-to-find key chains, fresh flowers, welcome gifts, and bath products. The furnishings are not only beautful but also very comfortable. We arrived after midnight (3AM on our clock) and Erica was there to greet us. The only problem was that we so enjoyed talking to her we were up even later. However, once there the bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent. A block away is Grimaldi's - a very good pizza place, and a few blocks in the other direction is a great market and sandwich/coffee place, it's walking distance to the U of A and very easy to get around. We are very much looking forward to our next stay at Villa Blanca. ##### Carol E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi D. Apr 13, 2025 ##### Jodi D.
