☆ Ridesharing and Taxis: Services like Uber and Lyft operate in Tucson, providing another flexible travel option. Taxis are also available, though they may not be as plentiful as rideshare services.
☆ Biking: Tucson is known for being bike-friendly, with numerous designated bike lanes and paths, including the extensive Tucson Loop trail system. Guests can enjoy renting bikes to explore the city or even commuting shorter distances.
☆ Walking: For those looking to explore nearby attractions, walking can be a pleasant option, especially in cooler months. Areas like the University of Arizona and parts of downtown are particularly walkable and offer plenty to see and do within a reasonable distance.

Summary: We’ve stayed in several VRBOs, and this was the only one that didn’t meet expectations. After an 8-hour drive, we arrived to dirty bathrooms—urine on toilet seats and hair on the floor.Photos are a little misleading. Bedroom 1 has only a bed and nightstand—no closet or dresser. Bedroom 2 has a closet but no dresser. Only 8 hangers provided. Bedroom 3 has no dresser, badly stained carpet, and uncovered glass brick that lets in bright morning sun. The master is a converted garage—only room with a dresser—but also has uncovered glass brick and no light control. You are up when the sun comes up. No place to put folded clothes so you live out of a suitcase.Towels were tiny and thin. There was no Kleenex, napkins, or laundry detergent and only got delivered after we complained.The pool was supposed to be cleaned on Monday but they never showed. We skimmed it ourselves. The bottom stayed dirty with sand and rocks, and there’s no vacuum. Most pool floats had holes.The french doors were filthy with handprints and dog slobber. A loud machine activates in the kitchen every time you use water.Kitchen was clean, and couch was comfy. They are very responsive and quick to apologize for all the inquiries/complaints but if the property manager was doing their job, we wouldn’t have to complain. Whoever they have cleaning isn’t letting them know what needs to be restocked or fixed and they do a sloppy cleaning job at best. Would not recommend until they get reliable services.
