Being such animal lovers, we want to be able to accommodate your canine companion. (Sorry we can't accept furry feline friends).
This is a small apartment and it simply doesn't have the room for a large dog we've set the limit to a single dog under 25 lbs. We may ask you send a picture of your friend and, of course, he needs to be a well behaved doggie. If your dog is very close to that weight limit or you have two very small dogs, please inquire and we might be able to accommodate you but be prepared to send a picture. Unfortunately our wonderful furry companions can also cause damage and may require an additional refundable damage deposit. Please see our Rates and Deposits page. ****** Looking for a place that will accept multiple dogs and/or larger ones? Please visit our Sister site, Glenn House Vacation Rental, for more information. |
We're not outright declining accepting bookings for extended stays for traveling professionals with small dogs but I'm not going to encourage extended stays either. Contact me and explain your job, responsibilities and hours as well as info regarding your dog and it can be considered.
For most of our years of operation, we were geared to mostly vacation stays but with the industry changing, we are now trying to venture into extended stays for professionals and especially those in the medical field. Unfortunately this apartment is really not well-suited for a working professional with a dog. There's no doggie-door and really not even a view out on to the world for a dog. For people on holiday coming and going it can work fine but a dog being left for extended periods of time alone, it's not good. I really made a sincere effort in the Spring of 2018 to install a doggie door and though it is doable, it's not really viable and I had to throw in the towel. Thank you for your understanding. |
Smoking is not allowed in the apartment but is permitted on either of your outside patios.
|
With the exception of a single minor child traveling with parents/guardians, the room will be limited to two adults. Sorry, no exceptions.

Whether your stay is short or long, coffee and tea is on us. We've settled on Folger's for coffee and Lipton for tea as these are usually pretty well liked by most. There'll also be sugar, Splenda packets, and Coffee-Mate creamer.
Basic cooking necessities and spices will also be on hand as well as condiments including, but not limited to, ketchup, mustard, etc. 
Being a vacation rental, housekeeping will not be performed. Ample cleaning supplies will be provided. For longer stays, we'll make arrangements for use of a vacuum cleaner.

Your view from your french-style back door and screened-in back patio look out onto our pool. This is not a heated pool and is only comfortable swimming late-May through about September.
With this limited swimming "season" in mind during our slowest time of year along with much added expense of additional insurance year-round we've decided that swimming is not an option. We do wish we could offer swimming but there's additional concerns and problems so it's just not possible. There are swimming pools available very close by at the Tucson Racquet Club, Tucson Jewish Community Center and Lighthouse YMCA all at a very nominal fee. Thank you for your understanding. |
We're big believers in making sure we stay safe and our guests too. Our neighborhood is not upscale but we are not in a crime infested area. Most crime incidents that occur around here are minor or domestic but we don't want to find ourselves or our guests to be that exception.
Our back yard has a six-foot tall block wall surrounding it. They're ugly, but we do have "burglar bars" on our windows and doors have both a locking knob plus dead-bolts. There's also a lock available for your patio gate. In the many, many years we have been here we have never been a victim of a crime or vandalism. |
A washer and dryer is on premises and will be available for use for guests on longer stays. Those guests, at a pre-arranged time, can utilize the washer and dryer for personal items at no additional charge. It will not be necessary to enter our home to access these.
Our neighborhood is not upscale but is a typical older neighborhood in mid-town Tucson. This is a densely populated area and with it comes a wide variety of homes and people.
Please see more under the "Our Location" tab. |
Children are people too and we want to be able to assist if possible. Please keep in mind, there will be one double bed and a sofa. The sofa will not be of a pull-out bed type and no cots are available not making our rental the most child-friendly. If a single parent or guardian were traveling with a minor child, there would be no additional charges. If both parents/guardians were traveling with a single minor child, the sofa could be utilized but additional charges could apply. For children that have reached an age that additional linens, pillows and towels will be necessary, there will be an additional charges. Please see our Rates and Deposits page. We cannot accommodate more than one minor child and please keep in mind that the room will not be child-proofed. |
Check-in after 3 p.m. and check-out is by 11 a.m.
We want to be flexible if we can be in those areas. If you're arriving in Tucson far earlier than three o'clock and the place hasn't been occupied the night before, we should be able to get you in and the same applies in reverse. Please inquire and we'll see what we can do. We will need to adhere to those times if we have back-to-back bookings. We'll email you about a week prior to your arrival to firm everything up, find out when we can expect you and arrange giving you the keys. |
We have reserved the right to require a Damage and Cleaning Deposit (please see Rates and Deposits page). There's a wide variety of reasons why we may or may not exercise this option but should we do so it is FULLY refundable as long as any damage that may occur is limited to normal wear and tear and the rental is left reasonably clean and tidy.
Please note that there are no cleaning fees at Garcia House. |
