Overview
This carriage house is a tastefully remodeled single-family home turned large studio suite, set in central Tucson within walking distance of the University of Arizona. It's a smoke-free property with a fenced front yard and one-car private parking on site, a rarity in this busy college-area neighborhood.
Rooms & Amenities
The studio suite includes a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, a private bathroom and shower, a living room, and a dining table. Practical comforts include air conditioning and heating, a fireplace, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, an ironing board, and a dedicated washer and dryer laundry room.
Location
The home sits about two blocks from University of Arizona sports venues including the McKale Center, Arizona Stadium, Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, and Drachman Stadium, making it a favorite for game-day visitors. It's also close to multiple bus stops (South Stadium Garage, Campbell Av/8th St, Campbell Av/6th St, and 6th St/Campbell, all under 250m away) and roughly 2km from the Tucson train station, with Tucson International Airport about 12km away.
Dining & Nearby Activities
Guests are near numerous Tucson restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops, plus 24/7 room service delivery via a food hub app. The free electric trolley at University Blvd/4th Ave or 4th Ave/5th Street connects guests to downtown's Old Town Historic District, the Fox Theater, Rialto Theater, and Tucson Convention Center. Outdoor enthusiasts can reach Sonoran Desert trailheads and Saguaro National Park within 15 to 35 minutes by car or bike.
Best for
This property is best suited to University of Arizona visitors, sports fans, and game-day travelers thanks to its two-block proximity to McKale Center, Arizona Stadium, and other campus venues. It also appeals to travelers who want a self-contained home base with a full kitchen and laundry, and to outdoor lovers wanting quick access to Saguaro National Park and Sonoran Desert trailheads.
Travel tips
Private one-car parking is available on site, which is a real advantage near campus where parking is otherwise scarce. Several bus stops sit within a couple hundred meters, and the free electric trolley at University Blvd/4th Ave or 4th Ave/5th Street is a convenient, no-cost way to explore downtown Tucson and the Old Town Historic District. Since Tucson International Airport is about 30 minutes door to door, plan to arrive at the airport early for departures.
