Very enjoyable stay!!

This casita was perfect for our 6 night stay! We enjoyed walking to the downtown area several times for shopping, eating, and experiencing the various neighborhoods. Joanne was available whenever we needed something or had questions, while at the same time giving us privacy. She made our stay very comfortable and memorable. The casita was very clean, quiet, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed eating our breakfast each morning on the patio. We will definitely stay here if we visit Tucson again. Loved it!!

Tucson rental

We enjoyed our stay! The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed the southwest feel. The grill was nice to have available for the option of eating at the house. We ended up driving to all of our activities and found it easy to get to all of places we wanted to go (i.e. hiking, restaurants, breweries).

Lovely little casita

This place was perfect for my husband and I during our Tucson visit for the Gem & Mineral shows. It is walking distance to the convention center and just a few miles drive to Mineral City. It feels very private with your own courtyard patio which was great for morning breakfast and evening dinners. Joanne, the owner, lives right next door and was available if we needed anything. We will rent this place again!

Just as Expected

We have stayed in this casita a few times. Each time is as good as the first. Everything is exactly as described. We love the privacy, comfortable porch area, great wifi, comfortable bed, and very safe. Joanne takes great care of her guests and is available if you need her.

In the historic district

The casita is very comfortable and well furnished. My wife and I had planned to stay a month, but the corona situation caused us to leave early. The casita is conveniently located and we enjoyed taking a nightly walk. The neighborhood is very quiet. We were just getting acclimated to the area when it was time to leave. We were easily able to find grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, and other activities. It was nice to be met by the owner and have snacks, coffee, and incidentals waiting. Any issues were quickly fixes by the owner who lives next door. We hope to be able to return next year.

Mi Casita

We had a surprisingly restful and pleasant stay. Joanne was great to deal with. The house had many thoughtful touches. We enjoyed eating out on the patio, and it was fun to hang up our laundry outdoors in January. It was a great place to stay and a super host to deal with.

The Little Adobe Casita

We thoroughly enjoyed our Tucson stay in this little adobe house on its own private lot. Our hostess, who lives one lot over, has supplied the adobe casita with everything a guest might need. It is decorated, inside and out, with old traditional Mexican decor which we loved. It was very comfortable and the perfect size for our two person 8 night stay. The location worked for us as we traveled to all four corners of Tucson to hike, shop, dine, or visit with old friends. It was easy in-town driving, and it is very close to I-10. We have absolutely no complaints or suggestions for improvements as Joanne took care of everything in advance, and this casita is very private (walled and gated) from the landlord's residence next door.

Relaxing!

This was our second time to stay at Joanne's casita. Everything is just like described. Comfy bed, great internet, extras like dish soap, laundry soap, staples in the kitchen. Her outside sitting area is super relaxing and inviting. Being able to park our car off street is always important and her place provides that. The courtyard is safe. Joanne is there if you need her. The location is perfect. we spent our days hiking at Sweetwater Preserve, Saguero National Park and Sabino Canyon. You can't go wrong with this casita. We will be back again next year.

Lovely place to stay!

My husband and I went to Tucson for a long weekend and stayed in this cozy casita. The property owner, Joanne, was very welcoming and even met us earlier than we originally planned. The casita is in an older residential area. The downtown area is not too far away. We walked downtown one evening and it took less than 30 minutes to walk at a leisurely pace. The casita was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the little patio area and it was great to have off-street parking. We definitely recommend this cozy casita.

Lovely, quiet, and close to downtown

I stayed here a week while exploring Tucson. I really loved the decor and it was a perfect size for one or two people (one in my case). The owner lives on the adjoining property, and so I felt like I could reach out whenever I needed, but she never intruded. The kitchen had lots of amenities, including pots and pans, fridge, microwave, and oven, so I was able to cook meals. The location is just a 10 minute walk to downtown and an easy drive to other parts of Tucson. All in all a great stay!

Mi casita is very nice

The place is very clean and functional. Sadly the weekend we were in Tucson was cold and we didn't get to enjoy the outside amenities. We had a little difficulty finding the place but once we did it was centrally placed for our activities. Joanne is very personable and I enjoyed exchanging texts with her. She lives next to the property and gave us a little tour when we checked in. She also provided a few "welcome" treats, fruit, etc. upon our arrival. Other than that we never saw her although she would have made herself available if we needed anything. Appreciated the secure, off street parking, also, since we were not familiar with the Tucson area. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Quaint, Relaxing, and Quiet

We had a lovely stay at this casita. Joanne takes great pride in her casita. The unit is comfortable and relaxing. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets are the thickest. The towels are thick and luxurious as well. The seating area is perfect, a comfy couch and chair. The kitchen has all the necessities. Upon arrival we were treated with scones, oranges, bananas, and coffee. A wonderful surprise and just goes to show that Joanne appreciates her renters. The wifi is excellent and the TV is super easy to use! The outside patio is lovely and had it been warmer we would have spent more time out there! A really nice perk is the secure, covered car port. Joanne has thought of everything. Another nice perk is she supplies dish soap, laundry soap, bath wash, shampoo, and cream rinse! If you are looking for a relaxing stay in Tucson this is the place. We had to leave early due to heater issues in our home in Albuquerque but when we return to Tucson we will definitely look at staying here again.
