Cactus Casita: Large Yard, Pet-Friendly, 2 mi from UofA & Banner

Relax in this thoughtfully designed, pet-friendly retreat, perfect for longer stays and traveling professionals. Just 2 miles from the UofA and Banner Medical Center, and within a mile of restaurants and gyms, this home offers a private office with a desk and second screen, high-speed internet, a fully stocked kitchen, and bedrooms with blackout curtains and quality mattresses. Enjoy a fenced yard, shaded dining area, BBQ, AC, and on-site laundry—everything you need for an stress-free stay!

The upper and lower levels are connected **only by an outdoor staircase**, so guests must go outside to access the lower level. Since the kitchen, bathroom, and master bedroom are on the upper level, this house may not be suitable for those with accessibility needs.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Close drive to U of A where my son had his internship at. Grocery shopping, food, cat cafe, & Ross near by. Host was great with any & all communication. Cozy and pretty quiet place to stay with a grill, washer, & dryer. TV in upstairs & downstairs areas as well. Will definitely stay here again if I go to Tucson again
