General Overview

Our home is our peaceful sanctuary, a mix of modern and eclectic, our quiet haven from busy life, just the right size for a couple or small family. Single-story living in a small gated community. Conveniently located in north-central Tucson, a few miles from the University, 1/2 mile from a bike path that circles the city, and a quick drive to beautiful Sonoran desert hikes.

The Space

There are two bedrooms (both with queen beds) and two full bathrooms (one ensuite with a large walk-in shower, and one hall bath with a tub/shower). A third bedroom is set up as a home office, with room for a full size air mattress. We have a comfortable living room, kitchen with newish appliances, and a breakfast nook with full morning sun. The house has high speed wi-fi, TV with streaming channels (no cable), plenty of board games and puzzles, and lots of books! The outdoor patio is my favorite place to sit and listen to the birds, with shade in the morning, sun in the afternoon, and beautiful sunset views. If you're lucky enough to be here during a rainstorm, you can enjoy the very special smell of the Creosote plants behind the wall.

Guest Access

The house is all one story. Front entrance has one small step (3 inches) and garage access has no steps at all. However, the doors are not wide enough for a wheelchair.

Notes

Our home is scent-free. There are no pets now (although there were cats here in the past).

Getting to my home

You will need a car in this area, as public transportation is very limited. There are a few stores (Safeway, Trader Joe's) and restaurants within a 1-mile walk, but to really see Tucson you will need to drive.

Gila

Single mom with a newly empty nest. I work remotely for a small non-profit and am looking forward to traveling and working from new locations! Experienced traveler, and often have people house-sitting while I am away for long periods, but new to home exchange. I have family, friends and work reasons to travel to CO, MA, NY and NH, and am hoping to spend some time in Europe over the next 2-3 years. Also open to suggestions of other places to explore, especially if they are by water!
