Stayed 20 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Aubrey Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Vacation The location was not what we were hoping for. We were looking for a bit more of a mountain setting however there was a beautiful veiw and tge neighborhood was very quiet. The location was tucked away from the main road on a peaceful little road with no traffic . The host was absolutely wonderful. Her communication and quickness to respond was very refreshing. I would definitely stay again ##### Aubrey Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna C. Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable Property was exactly as shown and described in listing. House was on a quiet street, lots of room, comfortable. Everything we needed was located in the kitchen and there were plenty of towels and linens. Backyard was securely fenced so our pets could run and play off-leach. Was a relaxing stay for my family. Only negative was neighbors German Shepherds (2). They barked/growled, jumped high enough to see over the block wall when we had our pets outside. However, that is not anything the owner of the VRBO rental could control. They never tried to climb the wall into our backyard. So, for my family, it was a relaxing holiday stay and I would recommend to property to any family visiting the Tucson area. ##### Donna C.

Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sherry C. Feb 7, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Needs Updates The property needs upgrades. When we turned on the central air/heat, the dirt, dust and allergens that came out was awful! You could feel and taste the dirt in the air. Everything I took in to the house took on the musty smell, dirt and allergens. Did not make for a good trip in my car to the East coast.The towels and sheets were worn and stained. The lighting was very dim with some bulbs not working. Lots of Dogs barking at all hours of the day. The drain to the shower in the back did not have a proper safety cover and the hole was hidden under a shower mat. Just was not a comfortable place to stay. ##### Sherry C. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Graduating Weekend The house and back yard were in great shape. My dog did run into the sharp bushes in the front yard. I did worry about her, other than that it was great weekend. Thank you for the use of your home. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda B.

Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane H. Mar 8, 2019 #### Made it work Pros - The owner is very nice. The patio and fenced in yard were great for sitting out and the dog enjoyed laying in the sun. It worked out to have three bedrooms and two baths. We enjoyed having 2 good tv's since the weather wasn't always that good. It was a central location to shopping, restaurants, and hiking. Cons- It needs a deep cleaning. Dishes were cracked and chipped. I had to clean the coffee machine before I used it.. Rugs and comforters looked like they needed to be washed. ##### Jane H. Stayed 16 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn O. Oct 9, 2018 #### Thank you! Nora's house was perfect for our last minute trip to Tucson.
