Heart of Tucson

I really enjoyed the convenience of being within walking distance of Fourth Ave, downtown, and the UofA campus. Empire Market grocery store is just steps away. The next-door neighbor’s cuckoo clock and the Union Pacific trains might be bothersome if you’re a light sleeper. Loved the enclosed patio between the front house and this rear carriage house. I would stay here again.

Wonderful

Great little place with easy access to downtown and University areas. So many restaurants and things to do. Place was clean and simple with a nice outdoor patio. Only thing was we thought there was access to W/D, but that is in the primary rental on this property and not accessible for this casita. Highly recommend this rental for shorter stays…it is awesome. But for longer stays, like us for a month, the laundry situation was more difficult. The host was quick to respond to our requests which helped tremendously.

Almost perfect!

We loved the little Iron Horse Carriage House. Small and stylish, excellent location for walking around. We loved everything about it including the owner's prompt responses to any questions. Honestly, for the price I don't feel justified in complaining about a thing, so all I will say is bring a blowdryer if you're expecting one to be there, and don't be weirded out by the brick wall behind your head on the bed, seeming paper thin. Just enjoy yourself and don't be concerned about what might be heard between you and whoever is on the other side! We would gladly stay there again.

Visit to Tucson

This property worked well for me. It was clean and quiet. I felt safe on the property and in the neighborhood. I walked to restaurants, a grocery store, and there is a coffee shop across the street. My rental car was electric and there were several charging stations close by. It was practically perfect for me. The property manager was very responsive and patient.

Could have been so much better

From the moment we started communication with the property manager, I was concerned. I was told I was to receive check in information 2-3 days prior to check in. Day of, I still had yet to receive and I had to reach out. This resulted in multiple emails and miscommunications on Christmas Day.The property is NOT as advertised. There was no washer/dryer, no hair dryer, and it was only one bathroom. Again, had to email to get communication for WiFi- this seems simple but let’s set people up for success? The property has a terrible smell… let me tell you why. There is obvious mold growing in the bathroom and my husband changed the air filter for them , because it was gross! Property seems to need some basic cleaning that needs to be done in the kitchen and the bathroom , don’t even get me started on the toilet scrubber, yet they want you to sweep before you check out! Kudos to them for their DIY handiwork but they need some work to be fixed before they rent the property out again for the same price as the hotels right around the corner that are brand new..the shower is EXCEPTIONALLY narrow. Heater/ ac unit is very Loud and even if you turn off, can still hear the other unit. In addition, there is construction happening next door. Neighborhood is quaint but may not be for everyone due to local bars and nightlife.

Disappointing experience

Unfortunately this was a disappointing experience. My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights while visiting family. I received no email or directions on how to check in. I emailed and texted several times to ask about how to check in to the property (there is a lockbox with a code) and received no reply. We we’re checking in at 4pm, well after the allowed check in time. I eventually got a hold of the property manager, he ended up giving me a code but only after calling him twice. He did apologize but by that time we had been standing outside waiting for over half an hour. The management is clearly really disorganized. As for the property, it was extremely dirty. Thick layer of dust over the kitchen items - cutting boards, coffee maker, microwave etc. The floors we’re very dirty as well. There was no hot water in the building, had to call to have it looked at, they ended up fixing it thank goodness. Be careful of the towel bar and toilet paper holder, they are not attached to the wall very well and will fall right off. Lots of patched holes in the wall that have never been painted. This place needs work.
