Furnished modern loft home available for short term stays in Tucson, Arizona. Located in the Lost Barrio neighborhood, this spacious loft is less than a block from the bike path which leads over the Basket Bridge and Snake Bridge which leads down to 4th. Avenue and the Hotel Congress, Rialto Theater area. Downtown Tucson, Fourth Avenue, and the University of Arizona are only a five minute bike ride away (15 minutes on foot, or five minutes by car). It's like a Tucson Bed and Breakfast, except you have the whole place to yourself. You can prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the full-size kitchen. Or, you can enjoy some of Tucson's finest dishes at one of the 30 or more "Tucson Originals" restaurants that are within 20 minutes of the loft's accessible central location. Just ask, we can make recommendations if you become hungry after a long day of hiking, biking or exploring the Old Pueblo.

"Great accommodations. Spacious, nicely furnished, and architecturally distinguished, with soaring loft spaces and matching widows that create a light-filled environment. Central location that is close to everything. Owners were helpful, pleasant and accommodating. My first and only choice if I ever return to Tucson." Dan from San Francisco (our guest for 3 months)

My brother, sister and I built this building and live next door in similar loft style designed homes. We thought of this idea 15 years ago after visiting similar loft units a block north of here, it has just taken us a while to buy the property, get plans though the city and actually complete the construction. We have another lot next door and will build 2 more buildings in the future. We love this neighborhood as it is close to downtown Tucson, Fourth Avenue and the University of Arizona. We are North of the train tracks and Aviation Corridor so we are much more accesable to U of A, 4th Avenue and downtown. We are in the same general area of the Ice House Lofts although they are south of the Tracks. We are also close to the Barrio Brewery and the 17th. Street Market (15 minute walk) and eventually all the vacant land north from us is going to be turned into a new Pima County Park with walking paths and ridding paths.

We are close to downtown, so you are not sitting in traffic waiting to get to where everything is happening. We are close to the U of A, so every once in a while I walk down to the Center for Creative Photography (NW on U of A Campus at Speedway) and check out the new show, or I listen to an art, photography or architecture lecture around campus. We are close to Fourth Avenue, the Congress Hotel, and the Rialto Theater. I like to see live music so most of the best touring bands play at the Rialto, Club Congress, Plush or the Red Room, these locations are 15 minutes away. The 17th. Street Market a 15 minute walk west of here over the Basket Bridge has lots of high quality fresh produce and fresh fish there is also Safeway close by. We are close to Roma Imports an Italian Deli, two blocks away (five minute walk) they make all these home made pasta dishes you can eat there or buy frozen pasta and bring it home to make it yourself, its all heat and eat food that tastes great. We used to eat there every day when we were building these places. Toolies is another restaurant that is really close, in the Lost Barrio area of South Park Avenue. Between downtown, fourth Avenue and the University there are more than 30 Tucson Originals restaurants all within 20 minute of here and I'm not talking Chain Restaurants but really good places owned and operated by local Tucsonans.

We have lived in Tucson since 1971 and are active hikers and bikers, we have vast knowledge of Tucson and what there is to do around here. If you're up for it, we would be more than happy to take you on a hike or bike ride just let us know what you would like to do, there are all levels of activity. We have two bikes which are available for use, but you would need to bring your own helmet and gloves if you use those while riding, they are mostly just for cruising around the neighborhood, downtown or 4th Avenue. If there are other special events going on in town we will let you know whats happening in Tucson while you are here.
