Chic Duplex Tucson U of A FirePit 2of 2

I rented this location for the back yard area. It was perfect. WiFi never established making it necessary to NOT do business. I would recommend this spot to everyone!

My fiancé and I wanted to get away for the day so we decided to rent out this Vrbo for the night. We’ve stayed in the right side duplex before so we knew what to expect, right side is definitely a little bigger but they both are very identical. Very cozy room/bed. A/C unit was a little hard to understand it’s only in Celsius and I didn’t understand the symbols as there was no heat icon. But we eventually did figure it out. Complimentary coffee, all kitchen utensils, clean space and a good vibe backyard. The only issue we experienced was the check-in process. When you book this Vrbo it says you will receive the code to the gate an hour before checkin at 4pm we did not. After several calls and text to the host we received nothing. We were originally going to drop off our stuff at the property then go out to dinner. So we just went out to dinner and hopefully while we were out we were going to receive the gate code for the keys. Still nothing. I figured maybe it’s unlocked and there’s a different way to get it. When we got there everything was locked and it was dark. At around 6:30 I called for about the 7th time and got someone to answer that was not the host. But they were able to verify that we did stay there and we received the code and the keys. Just a quick note, if you have a low car you will damage your under carriage of your vehicle driving into property over the gate rail. Very tight spot, can’t open car doors if you have luggage.

The location is perfect - centrally located with easy access to everything. .the house has very basic needs but we made do. Our only big complaint was gaining access to the property. We had a bit of trouble with their keyless entry system, but they were very quick to answer messages and resolve the issue. I would expect that issue to be rectified before the next renter. This was our second stay - we will be back!

Expressed concerns less than 2 hours after check in and never heard back from host.Access to driveway required jump over sliding gate threshold from narrow alley. Check in instructions said parking to left of driveway was permitted, but received rude note for parking there. Heating was difficult. Water and ice in refrigerator didn’t work. Bathroom barn door sticks and was loud. The only place with adequate lighting to read by was in bed or bathroom. Some small lamps but no outlets to plug them into. No suitcase stands or dressers. Low water flow from shower. Old rough towels. The general feel was cheap and minimal.

Bathroom did not work, driveway was too narrow for our vehicle, no heat and minimal blankets in 30 degree weather, next door to a loud bar, no dishwasher detergent, not a great experience.
