Short Stay

Our family only had one night here. It was good, but pool was too cold probably too early into spring, and we were farther away from family than expected. The house was clean, kitchen was big, and decorations were nice.

Paradise

We can’t say enough about Tanya and her hospitality - she made sure we had a pack ‘n play available for my daughter when we arrived and made check in/out a breeze (which with two small children was invaluable). Her property is immaculate and lovely, perfectly located and ideal for families visiting the Tucson area. The citrus trees and the pool were BIG hits with our kids as well. We will for sure stay again if we are in the area!

Spacious house in Tucson

My wife and I stayed with our daughter there before she moved into the dorms at U of A. The house was spacious, with plenty of space in the kitchen, dining area, living room, and bedrooms. The AC was great since it was over 100 degrees outside! The pool was warm and clean. Thank you to our host, Roman, for being responsive and helpful!

Short Reunion

We enjoyed our stay at the Lester House in Tucson. We had family from out-of-state, and from overseas that stopped by during our stay. The nice pool and playroom kept the children busy the entire time. We would gladly stay here again in the future. Convenient location to many shopping venues and leisure activities. Responsive manager to any requests and needs. Thank you very much for a memorable stay.

Beautiful house

This property is beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had an emergency situation and needed a place to stay pretty quick for a family of 5. We were able to book this house on short notice and it was completely ready for us. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the pool. There is beautiful artwork throughout the house. We were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.

Bodaciously Awesome Home

Beautifully appointed home in a quiet neighborhood with easy driving to Firetruck Brewing, movie theater, hospitals, and shopping. Home is spacious, incredibly clean, and so artsy. Lots of bedrooms and upscale bathrooms plus a huge well appointed kitchen, amazing game room, spacious living room, and a wonderful back yard with loads of seating, BBQ area, and a huge pool. We had our family Christmas get together here and it was so comfortable and upscale. Perfect for a honeymoon, family reunion, or just a stay in Tucson to explore the amazing sights of southern Arizona. Host communication was excellent too!

Cozy and Inviting

We got caught up in the CrowdStrike issues that plagued airline travel, causing us to arrive about eight hours later than planned. We were relieved to arrive to such a clean, well appointed home! Everything was as expected, and we especially enjoyed the use of the pool. Communication with the property managers was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Nice city getaway!

This home is well equipped, very clean, and some extra touches top it off. The pool would be a treat on a hot day, back yard is very relaxing. Some city sounds outside of the property, but we loved the access to hikes, etc.

Comfortable stay in a great location

We recently stayed in this home for my daughter's soccer tournament in Tucson. It comfortably fit our family of six. The beds were really comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and centrally located. Tanya left some goodies for us when we arrived - we felt spoiled! She was so helpful and we felt very well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Tucson.

Beautiful home

In town for my grandmothers 90th Bday party and decided to rental a house near the Host hotel. We are so happy we booked this downtown Tucson home. Loved the updated decor, spacious with all the amenities you would want, located on a private cul de sac street and close to stores & restaurants. Tanya was very flexible and accommodating!
