Studio 5 Blocks To 4th, 7 to UA. Please be sure to read details :)
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Studio 5 Blocks To 4th, 7 to UA is a small, detached, privately furnished studio guesthouse located behind a host's home in a quiet residential neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona. Its main draw is location: just five blocks from the shops and restaurants of 4th Avenue and about seven blocks from the University of Arizona campus. Vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows keep the compact single-room layout bright and airy despite its tiny footprint.
Rooms & Layout
The unit is essentially one small bedroom sized to fit a comfortable queen bed with a ventilated foam mattress topper, a small desk, dresser, and bookshelf, with an attached 3/4 bath (toilet, sink, and shower) separated by a curtain. Linens and towels are provided, and a TV with a USB port offers major networks and local channels, with cable available on request for longer stays. This space suits solo travelers or couples traveling light rather than groups or families needing multiple rooms.
Amenities
The studio includes air conditioning with remote, heating, and a ceiling fan, plus fast fiber-optic Wi-Fi (200 Mbps). A compact kitchen setup covers a mini-fridge with small freezer, microwave, toaster oven, coffee-maker, steamer/rice cooker, blender, and dishes, and there's a gas grill with a side burner on an outdoor deck. Guests also have access to a shared courtyard with table and chairs and self-service laundry in a separate locked building by advance arrangement; the property is smoke-free and does not allow pets.
Location & Surroundings
The studio sits within walking distance of several Tucson bus stops (Stone/Drachman, Drachman/Stone, Speedway/6th Ave, and Euclid/Elm, all under 750m away) and about 2km from the Tucson train station, making it easy to get downtown or to campus without a car. Numerous restaurants are within a mile, including The Saddle, Geronimo Restaurant, The Moonstone, Gyro King, and Quesos on 4th, along with CORBETT'S and Nex Tucson slightly farther out. Tucson International Airport is roughly 14km away.
Best for
This studio is best suited to solo travelers or couples on short stays who value a walkable, central Tucson location over spacious accommodations. Its proximity to the University of Arizona and 4th Avenue's dining and shops, combined with nearby bus stops, makes it convenient for campus visitors, budget-conscious travelers, and those who don't need a car to get around.
Travel tips
Multiple bus stops (Stone/Drachman, Drachman/Stone, Speedway/6th Ave, Euclid/Elm) are all within a 10-minute walk, making it easy to reach downtown and campus without driving. Check-in is generally after 6 PM and check-out is 11 AM, so travelers should coordinate arrival time with the host in advance. Since laundry is in a separate locked building, guests wanting to use it should give notice ahead of time.
What guests say
