A beautiful place to stay for up to three people. Villa Blanca has everything you will need for your visit. The main bedroom is lovely and the trundle bed is surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom is small, what you would expect in an older home. They back yard is a wonderful place to relax, and enjoy the morning/evening.

My 5 yo daughter and I stayed at the house for a wedding and had a fabulous time! The house was comfortable, with lots of well thought out welcoming touches. The host even laid out desert children's books and stuffed animals! If we're ever back in Tucson, we'd love to stay again!

University of Arizona move

This house was perfect for our trip to Tucson. Impeccably clean and artfully decorated- this adorable 1.5 bedroom home was conveniently located 2 blocks from University of Arizona. Erika provided a wonderful welcome gift basket for us and information about the local eateries, sights etc. The personal touches throughout the house made our journey to drop our oldest off at college an easy and enjoyable experience. We will definitely be staying here again when we come to visit our son. I highly recommend this gem of a home!
