Amenities & Room:
All rooms needed more lighting
We enjoyed the private parking the very spacious home and quiet setting
The yard was unkept and the patio a disappointment due to the heavy traffic
(this is a residential part of a busy street that many use) and as in most of Tucson there is a lot of commercial and military air traffic right overhead duing the day and evening
and you have everything you need

Kelly was very responsive to the few questions that I had
We enjoyed meeting Kelly and her husband very much
Kelly was quick to answer a question I had and very helpful with sources in the area yet kept our privacy
Kelly was quick to respond to my request and update information for our arrival as we needed it for our weekend in Tucson
Location:
The drawbacks relate to noise from Columbus St only a few feet away
but it was not a problem
so there are lots of places to run and walk for exercise and just to get fresh air
Clean little place in central neighborhood
The street can sometimes be loud

5. Historic casita (from USD 66)

This lovely historic home is almost as old as Tucson itself. The home was built in the late 1910s back when the city limits of Tucson were still several miles west of where it currently is, and with time, the city sort of built itself up around it. Despite its age, the home has been renovated and modernized for your comfort and now features a remodelled bedroom, fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and a lovely courtyard area in the back. TV and WiFi are both included as well as parking.
