Experience Tucson like a true local and make the best desert memories in no time here at Menlo Magic, an eclectic townhome mere minutes from downtown! From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted by the unique gate leading to the front door as you pass through a sun-lit, furnished foyer that will be just the place to sip a morning cup of coffee or evening cocktail. Inside, the real magic presents itself, as the interior of this retreat is absolutely filled with bright pops of modern art, stylish furnishings, exposed ceilings, and all of the comforts of home. No one will have trouble kicking back in the living room with a favorite movie or ballgame playing on the flatscreen TV, as the high-speed WiFi has you covered for streaming services. Not to mention, the culinary-inclined guests of the group will be spoiled in no time when they see the stainless steel appliances, gas range, and cookware in the full kitchen.

Upstairs, you will find another comfortable living area with a flatscreen TV and plush furnishings. Not to mention, both of the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home to give everyone some peace and privacy when each day comes to a close. The primary suite will be just the place to relax after a day of adventure, as the deep soaking up and private balcony will be calling your name for a bit of alone time.

Hop on the Sun Link Streetcar and venture to downtown Tucson or the University of Arizona campus - a tram stop is just a short walk from home. With so much to see and do here in Tucson, a stay at Menlo Magic may just become a yearly tradition!

Beautiful and convenient to all
The listing does not do justice to the spaciousness and beauty of the unit. The unit is filled with gorgeous and unique furniture. The decorations are museum worthy.The bed in the primary bedroom is extremely comfortable, and the room has an enormous walk-in closet and bathroom. Not to mention a lovely balcony.The front of the unit is enclosed with gorgeous antique doors that inspire passers-by to stop and take pictures.The only downsides are the concrete floors downstairs, a very long staircase to the second floor, shower heads that will be impossible to reach for the vertically challenged, and the lack of a shower wand.The location is super convenient to everything, and having the Mercato within steps of the unit, means that there is plenty to eat and see nearby.We will seek this unit out the next time we visit Tucson. Great place!

Nice Unit, Nice Location, Poor Customer Service
The unit is smartly decored with high-end appliances and is located within easy walking distance to the Mercado and the tram.Our only compliant is that we asked for service to repair a couple items (refrigerator water filter needed replacing and toilet dispenser broken) and the text response (probably AI generated) said they would notify the local maintenance person but no one ever showed. We did get a "sorry for the inconvenience" text, however. :(

Lovely space and wonderful location
Me and my husband were in town for our wedding reception and wanted to have a space that was big enough to hold all our extra items while also having a nice vibe and this house was perfect! It was just the two of us, but the house would not have felt cramped even with a bigger group. All the finishing touches are really nice and the couch in the living room is also super comfortable. The beds and bedding are good quality and the shower is really nice. Also having the garage attached made for really easy transport of items to the venue and allowed us to pack them early or leave them overnight and not have to worry. The location is honestly what makes it, though. The Annex is literally next door and there is coffee, food, a bar, and cool stores. It’s also a local place and not a chain so it’s all locally owned shops and restaurants, nothing you’d see anywhere else.

Eclectic neighborhood
The property is very nice and in a cool area. However, we had some issues at checkin which they sent someone out the next afternoon to rectify. Our other issue is the bedding. The listing shows 2 bedrooms and a pull out sofa bed. There were not any sheets at this property to put on the sofa bed. We were traveling with 4 people. 1 couple and 2 individuals that needed their own beds. I reached out to Vacasa and their response was that yes they were aware there were not extra sheets on site. Basically, oh well. I text back to ask why when the pull out couch was featured in the listing and they never responded to that text. We had to purchase a set of sheets ourselves.

Very nice condo. The layout of the complex made it difficult to find the front door (which wasn't really usable because there was no parking near it). It was nice to have garage access, but it would help to have the unit's address at the door. Getting into and out of the garage was tight, but it was worth the effort to have the garage. Having an available washer and dryer influenced my decision to book the unit. There were plenty of restaurants located nearby. Overall, a clean and nicely furnished unit.

Fantastic Townhouse!
This home was perfect in every way for my wife and I! It's super spacious with a really cool design and very tastefully decorated. The area is also really cool with some nice shops and restaurants within walking distance. Decibel coffee across the way is delicious! There are hiking trails within a mile and another couple 2-3 miles away. We didn't cook but as far as I could tell, they accounted for everything you would need. Thank you, we will be back next time we visit Tucson.

Great place, great location, second stay
This was our second stay at this property in 18 months. It remains a very nicely-appointed rental in a great location, close to the shops and eateries of the Mercado San Agustin and its hip extension, the MSA Annex. There were a couple of cleanliness/maintenance issues that we've drawn the attention of the property manager to, but they were relatively minor. I'm confident they will be addressed. We will certainly consider returning on our next trip to Tucson.

Lovely place close to U of A but far enough away from the chaos of parents weekend! The home is beautifully decorated and has all the necessary amenities. Super easy check in & out. Beds were amazingly comfortable!! We did lose Wi-Fi connection but it came back within an hour or so. Towels were scratchy but not a big issue when everything else was great!

Beautiful townhome in central location. But has roaches.
We enjoyed being in the Menlo Park area. It's close to the streetcar and downtown Tucson. The home is lovely. However, we kept seeing large roaches in the guest bathroom, which was disgusting.
