Comfortable Home with Sam Hughes Character

This property has some classic historic features including the front gate, wall nooks/cabinets, living room fireplace and baths. The neighborhood is an historic district and a Tucson gem. The entire property is walled, quiet and private and we really appreciated the large outdoor dining tables and chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. Not shown on the listing is a large TV room off the kitchen with doors to the outside patio. It has a sleeper sofa and comfortable chairs - a real asset that should be noted and photos included! There were a few minor lighting issues that were addressed right away - Steve was extremely responsive throughout the entire booking period and stay. We and the dog were very comfortable there and would definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
