On one week's notice, we booked this condo for our first visit to Tucson. Mary responded to my reservation request within an hour. We arrived 2 hours before our scheduled check-in time but she allowed us to get in early.

The condo is exactly as pictured online and nicely appointed with everything you could need to make yourself at home. The master bedroom has an on-suite bathroom with two split sinks/vanities that make it easy for two people to get ready at once The second bedroom is about the same size but located on the opposite side of the condo allowing privacy. The second bathroom isn't attached but just a short walk down the hall. We enjoyed the early mornings and late afternoons relaxing in the screened in sunroom.

The parking space is literally right across from the front door and one clubhouse/pool/hot tub is just around the corner and the other is less than 3 minutes away. The pools and hottubs are heated year round.

The complex backs up to Ventana Canyon so you have gorgeous views and it's only a quarter mile to the Loews Ventana Canyon resort. There are many shops and restaurants within a 15 minute drive including La Encantada where we ate many nice dinners at a variety of restaurants. Sabino Canyon is about 2 miles away and all the top attractions such as Saguaro National Park, Pima Air Museum, and Desert Museum are within a half hour.

We intended to stay a week and then move on to Phoenix. After 4 days, we were enjoying the condo and city so much that we extended our stay in Tucson. I recommend this condo as a great alternative to a hotel. Mary and Hector were easy to work with and returned our emails and deposit within 1 day. We arrived home to snow flurries so I'm ready to go back already!
