This is a charming and contemporary studio with its own private entrance, bath and kitchenette. It comes with extremely fast internet, a dedicated workspace for your laptop, as well as a portable laptop stand for working in the comfortable king size bed.

It has a fully fenced in and private yard with separate off the street parking, with private gate and entrance.

A pack and play crib, high chair, and jogging stroller are available upon request.

We provide Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Paramount+, Kanopy, and ESPN+ for you to relax with while enjoying the huge, comfy kng bed. There is also an Amazon Echo and a Nest voice assistant device, if youd like to try out these digital voice assistants. Theres a small air purifier as well.

A very fast Juicebox 48 Level 2 EV charger is onsite.

If youd like a walk, there are several restaurants within walking distance. There are dozens more within a 10 minute drive. The Loop, a 100+ mile biking/walking trail, is about a 15 minute ride away.

A rollaway bed is available if there are 3 of you visiting. Like many rollaways, it doesnt have a lot of padding. If you let me know before you come, I will provide you with an additional topper for it.

There is an adjacent laundry room that is shared with the other units. It includes a washer, dryer, drying lines, and a drying rack.

The property has 3 units: a casita, a studio, and a main house. The studio and main house have one common wall, and the main house may be occupied by us, or other guests. The only area shared with the home is the laundry room. There is a lockable door in between for complete privacy. In over 18 months of renting this property, we have not had a single mention or complaint of noise being heard between the units.

Room darkening shades are available, please just let me know and I will get them set up.

Small dogs (less than 40 pounds) are allowed for an additional fee of $50. If you are bringing a pet other than that, or more than one dog, please ask before booking. Please note that there are outdoor cameras on the building; pets will be noticed. Guests with dogs that bark frequently (eg, out of boredom) will be asked to leave, as there are other guests in the attached house. Cats are absolutely prohibited due to allergies.

SERVICE ANIMALS:
We encourage individuals using service animals to contact us before their stay. Please have handy your certificate and remember to bring the appropriate pet vest for Service Animals, Emotional Support, or Psychiatric Service Dogs. Please note that to be a service animal, the animal is by definition required to be with you **at all times**, and thus cannot be left alone in the unit.

The main house and west side casita are also sometimes available on Airbnb or here on Houfy and can be rented together for larger groups. Please do a search for Private, sustainable 4 br3b, perfect for WFH! and Quiet, cozy, and private midtown casita.

Nick and Carmen host a beautiful property that is very well maintained and easy to get around from. Across the street, right out the front door is a great coffee shop, that i loved going to in the mornings. The casita was very homey, comfortable, and had everything i needed. I’m looking forward to staying here again when I come back.

We ended up staying for six months, approximately from mid-April thru mid-October. This was far more than we had initially expected. The wonderful thing is how comfortable our stay in this modest studio turned out to be. It's fairly well laid out and we were able to make it work for us throughout the entire period. Its location didn't hurt. It's almost directly across the street from the central Whole Foods and Bookman's complex on Speedway. It's a short bus ride away from the delightful trolley ride through to the University area. There're numerous (delicious and non-pricey) foodie delights nearby, including many on Campbell Ave, the University area, and other little gems here and there. And if you needed to rent a car, there's a friendly Enterprise car rental just a block away. The studio is not only conveniently located but also centrally located. That makes it very easy to get to wherever we needed to go. And if it was an Uber that was required, not a long wait time (and good prices). The studio also includes a large and most beautiful backyard space full of a few cacti, a collection of beautiful bushes, and a number of nearby trees. It made for sitting outside in the gorgeous Arizona nights under the very rich Arizona night sky quite an unexpected and uncalled for bonus. The private off-street parking right outside our private gate was also equally convenient. Although the kitchen was quite simple, we found it adequate for our cooking needs, and we did cook just fine. Nick supplied us with a good collection of pots, pans, and dishes and the electrical appliances were more than adequate. The bathroom was clean and functional. The garden gate allowed us to have privacy and just using the screen door we could enjoy the outdoor space while indoors. Air conditioning worked and during the hottest of days we were always fine. We'll miss Nick and Carmen's lovely studio. They were gracious hosts and went above and beyond what one could ever expect in making our stay most memorable and enjoyable. We consider it a privilege to have had them and remain forever grateful to them

We had a great visit to Nick & Carmen's bnb. It was very quiet, clean & comfortable. Nice fenced back yard for my dog. The bed was very comfortable with lots of fluffy pillows. It has a spacious closet. The kitchenette had everything we really needed for our stay. The internet was fast & had a great desk to work from. It's centrally located next to lots of great restaurants; Postino, Snooze, Kingfisher, etc... Whole Foods is just across Speedway, a block from Jones & Walgreen's is just a block west of that. Very easy to get around from there. I would definitely stay again!

The studio is a very comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. Nick and Carmen responded quickly when we had any questions. The bed is large and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is excellent. Very nice to have separate desk for computer and fast wi-fi. Great to have washer/dryer close by and able to get new towels and linens easily. It was so nice to have the outdoor space to relax in- quiet and private. The mid town location is convenient to markets (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods), restaurants, and make sure you get to Bookman's next to the Whole Foods-- great combination used bookstore/thrift store. We were fine warming up various food with the microwave, toaster oven, and hot plates. We would stay here again.

Great spot in Tucson for 1 or 2 people! Very centrally located and surprisingly quiet. Right across from Whole Foods, very convenient. Nice little yard, easy check in. Highly recommended! I suspect with all the great reviews (which I second) it will be harder to book soon. Get it while you can!

Location

We are centrally located in Tucson--close to the university, restaurants, and Whole Foods.

Getting around

The studio is a 10-15 minute Uber ride to downtown, and a 5-10 ride to the university campus and Tucson Medical Center. There is a bus stop a 4 minute walk away, and a Whole Foods also 4 minute walk away.

There is a nearby "bike boulevard" through quiet city streets that crosses much of the city from east to west, and The Loop, a 100+ mile paved path for bikers and walkers that loops around Tucson, is about a 15 minute bike ride away.

Policies and Rules

Icon
Check In: 3PM - Flexible
There is a digital lock on the door which you'll get a combination for.

We are flexible with check-in and check-out times, depending on if other guests are in the unit before or after you. Please, ask us! We're happy to work with you.

We can also work with you to store your luggage if need be.

Check Out: 11AM
Minimum age limit for renters: 21

House Rules
All pets, including emotional support animals, must be disclosed before booking. Sneaking pets into the property will result in a $200 fine. Please note that there are cameras on the property.

No smoking--any odor (including cigarette butts in the trash can) will result in a $200 fine. Many guests are extremely sensitive, and the place has to be professionally cleaned.

Please do not rearrange the house: We request you refrain from rearranging the furniture or reorganizing the kitchen. You’re on vacation, please spend it relaxing rather than determining a “better” location for items. Additionally, inside furniture and decor should remain indoors.

No parties or events; we are happy to let you bring a friend or family member over, please just let us know first. Having more than 2 guests over beyond those stated in the booking is prohibited, and grounds for eviction without refund.

Check-in is anytime after 3:00 PM, but we may be able to arrange earlier. Please feel free to ask! We also can help in storing luggage.

Check out is 11 am, but we may be able to arrange later. Please feel free to ask!

Payment Policy
50% of the booking cost is paid upon booking; the remaining 50% is paid 30 days before arrival. If booking is done less than 30 days before arrival, the entire cost is due at booking.
Refundable Damage Deposit
The security deposit is in place for those who are grossly neglectful, throw parties, or set things on fire. If you break a $5 glass, of course I'm not going to take that out of the deposit. Those who leave the unit exceptionally dirty will get $40 extra taken out of the security deposit, or more if the costs of extra cleaning go beyond $40. We don't expect you to wipe down a counter that appears clean, wash your towel or linens, or scrub the toilet, but we do expect you to clean your dishes and remove any crumbs from the kitchen. Basic stuff you would do if you were staying at a friend's house.
Read more
Cancellation Policy
You'll get a full refund if you cancel 7 days or more prior to arrival. Other than that, the payment cannot be refunded.
Notes
We work hard to be environmentally friendly. We are solar powered, hang dry our linens (our apologies if they're a little stiff!), and try to conserve energy and water. If you would like cleaning during your stay, we can connect you with professional cleaners who will come in and clean for a reasonable price. Please just let us know. We clean the studio by ourselves whenever we can. But when we can't, every single dollar of our cleaning fee goes to the cleaner. We pay her well, and in return she does a great job. :)
