ABOUT TUCSON
-----------------------
Guest ranches, horseback rides, and cattle drives recall Old West roots, but you’ll also find yourself smack-dab in a hub of spas, resort hotels, and championship golf courses...not to mention amazing, trend-setting restaurants. Tucson was the first city to earn the designation of a World City of Gastronomy by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Plus, with a thriving visual and performing arts scene and respected galleries and museums, Tucson’s vibrant multicultural heritage shines.

Famous for its dramatic beauty, the Sonoran Desert covers this region with spectacular cacti – including the giant saguaro, a symbol of the American Southwest. But don’t be fooled by the term “desert” because mountain ranges in all directions offer scenic drives and even snow skiing. In the winter you can go for a hike in the valley, then drive up to Mt. Lemmon and enjoy the slopes. Tucson’s legendary year-round sunshine and saguaro-and-sunset landscape have romanced visitors for decades. Tucson's coldest month is January when the average temperature overnight is 38.9°F. In June, the warmest month, the average day time temperature rises to 100.2°F.

> GETTING AROUND
- The Sun Link streetcar is less than a 5-minute drive away and connects 5 unique districts: Downtown, Mercado San Agustín, Fourth Avenue, Main Gate Square and the U of A. The 3.9 mile route has 23 stops adorned with public art.
- The house is a couple of blocks to 3rd St. Bicycle Boulevard that extends from Main Avenue to 4th Avenue and Park Avenue to Wilmot Road for a total of 6.5 miles! It connects to 9 parks and 10 schools, including the U of A.

Immaculate Casita in a Convenient Location
Completely enjoyed my stay in this immaculate casita. The location near the U of A saved me so much time as I was on campus within 5 minutes. Parked my vehicle a few steps from the door.
