I was originally going to book the JW Marriot at Starr Pass, but on the advice of my cousin who has lived in Tucson for 25 years, we decided to stay in the foothills near Ventana Canyon. As a travel agency owner, I typically book hotels. I’ve traveled the world and I am very fussy about my accommodations. I was a little nervous about booking through a website for private homes…but it was the BEST thing I could have done for my stay in Tucson! The condo far exceeded my expectations. The pictures are accurate, but don’t do the condo justice. It was extremely clean, decorated very tastefully, plenty of extra linens, fully equipped kitchen and the beds and couches were quite comfortable. We loved having morning coffee and evening cocktails on the balcony. Great views, singing birds, and no bugs! The location is perfect –a lovely, safe and quite neighborhood. The Ventana Trailhead is literally in the backyard. Catalina and Sabino Parks are only a few miles away. The food store and quite a few good restaurants are down the road a mile. No traffic. We used the pool and hot tub(very clean) almost every night after a day of hiking or exploring. The owner was so easy to work with. I used PayPal and received my deposit within days of checking out. I highly recommend this home. DO NOT hesitate to book with Felipe. You will not regret it. It truly felt like a home away from home - in fact so much so - we plan on returning again, but next time for at least a month. We still have so much of beautiful Tucson to explore!
