Fantastic home in a great location!
Kevin was a wonderful host, he had great communication about our stay and amenities/recommendations. The house is fantastic, lovely, clean, lots of amenities we didn’t even use (stocked bar, backyard/fire pit, entertainment room). We were there for work, so not much time to play, but this would be great for someone who wanted more options than the usual offerings. I l visit Tucson every year and would be thrilled to stay here again.

Great VRBO. Centrally located, quiet historic neighborhood, and well appointed with everything we needed for a two week stay. Beds comfortable, kitchen stocked well, and welcome food and drink to get you started was a plus. Backyard, game room with foosball table with records and bar were fun

Most enjoyable
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at this property. Kevin provided many amenities often not found, particularly stocked beverages and bar, and makings for tortillas which delighted us. The backyard is large and private with many sitting areas plus a fire pit. Everything was great. Kevin was very easy to contact , readily answering any questions. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend to others.

Fantastic location, wonderful Tucson flavor
Kevin's place reflects a love of Tucson's special culture which makes it a truly special stay. This is a homey and beautiful place with gorgeous design and all the amenities -- including bar, game room, two comfortable bedrooms and an expansive back yard/garden with fire pit where you can spend your relaxing evenings. Kevin is a great host, always available, and makes the check in easy. Better: he has stocked the kitchen and fridges (two!) with goodies and drinks, incl a wide selection of teas, coffees, beer and drinks. You've got everything you need here for a memorable stay. We've travelled all over, and we'd count this as one of the best hosts and best stays ever. Highly recommended.

This was my first time staying at a Vrbo rental or any thing like this so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Wow…Kevin hit it out of the ballpark! The place was so nice & every detail was thought of. The beds were comfortable & the place was spotless. It really felt like home away from home

T-Town - Tohono O’odham House
It’s an amazing little place that reminds me of my home back in San Jose. We loved the old Tucson/mid-century/cozy/southwesty-but-not-too-overdone aesthetic sprinkled throughout. The backyard, the game-room, the cleanliness, very easy to communicate with the host, conveniently located, peaceful neighborhood... Absolutely enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future,

Great stay in Tuscon!
My family and I had a great stay in Tucson at Kevin’s property! The house was homey and the perfect walking distance to a friend’s wedding. Also in a great central location in Tuscon in general. Kevin was super responsive and accommodated our early check in with our one year old after a long day of travel! Definitely recommend!

Desert Retreat
Excellent property with all of the amenities! Great centralized location near all of our planned (and unplanned) activities. Nice outdoor (backyard) setting perfect for hot drinks in the morning and cold drinks in the evening. Firm mattresses that provided a good night's sleep. The host was very responsive and made certain we were well taken care of prior to arrival. An absolute recommendation to anyone staying in Tucson.

Perfect Getaway!
When we were moving in our college freshman to U of A, we wanted a little more space than a hotel room to unwind. This property could not have been more perfect for our brief stay. It was very close to U of A, easy to find, close to shopping centers and restaurants, etc. Every amenity has been thoughtfully laid out including eggs and toast for your morning breakfast! Amazing. We will definitely be telling our family about this getaway!
