Great location! This is a neat little guest house very close to lots of the coolest old stuff in the 4th Ave area. Right across the tracks from downtown and close to UA, too.
We are two friends on an Amtrak trip west. We stopped over in Tucson and this little place was perfectly situated for someone traveling by train. It's very close to a lively, funky neighborhood, but the street itself was very quiet. Great coffee shop on the corner and an excellent grocery coop in easy walking distance. The tram is right there, as are docking stations for e-bikes. We were very happy we stayed here.
The place is just what we needed. It’s very close to downtown. The location was great. The property manager was very accommodating and quick to get back with me. We had a great time there.
Decided to visit Tucson at the last minute and the Carriage House fit our needs exactly. Was within walking distant of two different type of restaurant/bar areas with many choices. Also very close to interstate for out of town adventures. Host communicated well.
The location was great for walking to downtown, 4th street area, and cable car. Bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Would be nice if some hooks or hangers were available.
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.

This a very nice casita. It was stocked with all the utemsils for using the kitchen. Close to activities. Was quiet and private. Will stay here again
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.
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.
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.
Marcus is a great host with quick communications. There was a bit of confusion with the front house about parking, those guests were confused about our space, and Marcus handled it immediately. If you rent the back unit parking is on the property. The place was cool, cozy, modern, amenities galor, big bathroom and shower. Great coffee, security, AC, patio, and Netflix and Prime! Plus live cable too. Bed very comfortable and plenty of room for up to 3 people. You can walk or take the street car and hit everything downtown and 4th Avenue in minutes! Brooklyn Pizza was yummy.
Nice place - would definitely stay there again- only problems were host never sent us the lock box code were the key was- he also sent me the wrong address- which made no sense- but got correct address off vrbo- he did promptly answer his phone an gave us the code - towel bar keep falling down - did inform host- other then those few minor problems - great location- very quite neighborhood- easy short walk to 4th ave- coop right there to get fresh veggies - an other needs - fun area- definitely woukd be a great place for 1 or 2 people( the carriage house) the main house is bigger an would be more appropriate for larger group- enjoyed stay -
Nice little place in a convenient area. More of a loft style. Good price, happy we stayed there. Parking available off the street.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
There were several problems. First, unable to open lock box, next wi-fi password sent to me was incorrect. There is no comfortable place to sit in the entire unit. Kitchen table unstable, stools uncomfortable. Faux leather couch/futon very uncomfortable. Mattress and pillows very uncomfortable. There was no where to set things - no coffee table, no desk/table in main room. Remote turned TV on but buttons to change channels didn't work. This was a very disappointing stay. Floor under the bed was dirty and dusty - no way to clean it as metal frame didn't allow broom there and there was no vacuum in the unit. Marcus was very responsive, however, and helped when needed.

Good location, stayed here before and it was great. However this time, there was no hot water, the oven didn’t work, and the AC kept resetting to 80F.
