Cactus casita condo
Good location, close to restaurants and shops. Comfortable space, with a great bed, well equipped kitchen, spacious living and dining area, and handy washer and dryer. We were there a week, but I could see making it a home base for several months.

Nice location & condo
Condo is nicely situated by St. Phillips Plaza and the Tucson loop bike path. Plenty of room for two people; could be crowded with any more. Quiet complex during our stay. Kitchen has good appliances and everything you need if you want to cook.

Comfy
This meticulously maintained casita is in an easily accessible location and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. Nice shower. Comfy bed. Well equipped kitchen. Laundry was a big bonus, as we had already been traveling for 2 weeks, and had another week to go. Recommend strongly!

Great Place - responsive owner
Great property for my spouse and myself. Very convenient location. It was everything I expected - no surprises! Very clean. Added bonus, we inadvertently left some valuables behind but they were found and returned. Thank you!

This apartment is very comfortable and conveniently located. I recommend it. Check-in and check-out were difficult because the code we were given did not unlock the lock box that contained the key to the apartment.

Unsatisfied
We came to Tucson for our annual trip and were excited to stay in a nice area close to St. Phillip’s Plaza and La Encantada. However, our expectations were not met. We specifically chose this stay to have access to a pool as we do not have outdoor pool access during the winter where we live. Every single key they supplied did not work on the pool gate or the gate to the river path. We messaged the management group multiple times about this and they never got us a solution. If we knew we weren’t getting access to a pool we could have found a much cheaper option instead. The cleanliness was questionable with stray hair in the shower and on the towels. Additionally, the walls were so thin that you could hear every single move made in the upstairs areas. I’m not sure if this was other residents or cleaning crews but these noises continued late into the night and early in the morning and were incredibly bothersome. A few positives were that the decor was nice and the management group responded in a timely manner. Unless these issues are fixed we will not be returning.

The best location and with lots of style
The best location and with lots of style. The small, just like home, touches around the home were very well done. This was a very comfortable stay. But the unit seriously need a new cleaning and prep service. Who every prepped this condo before our stay should be fired. We had to wipe off and clean most things we used. All surfaces, from the kitchen to the bathroom and even the outside patio needed cleaning before we could use it. Floors in the bathroom, the shower grout all needed attention. The smoke alarm was hanging open with the batterie on a nearby table. The flatware all needed washing. I was able to text someone who sent a "How Is your stay" text with these issues and they responded right way and we had a text conversation about the issues. The front door would not lock easily either. It took a lot of work to lock it. Outside key was fine. Inside lock was not. I sent photos of all we told them about. No other contact or offers to remedy. We would still book again, it only needs a better cleaning service and some "freshening up" .

Cute condo and wonderful location, just don't expect to use the pool
The condo was decorated as advertised. We were quite disappointed with the cleanliness, however. The ceramic floor was very dirty and all services in the kitchen were dusty. The pool was completely unmaintained and full of debris. The hot tub was as cold as the pool. Fortunately, we enjoyed the nearby eateries and coffee shops and proximity to The Loop trail. We will not return and instead find a community that has better outdoor and pool space.

Perfectly Appointed
This may be a one bedroom, but feels so spacious. The decor is fun and inviting, and I challenge anyone to count all the saguaro cactus inside the apt 😊. All the smart touches are well thought out, and make staying there so easy and comfortable. If we return to Tucson, it will be here.

Perfect Oasis
A perfect size for two of us but could have fit more comfortably. Decorations were charming and furniture all new. The location cannot be beat, steps away from the River Walk and shopping. Coffee shops, great food, live music...what else could you ask for?
