Description from owner
Description
1896 Historic Adobe building was a Bakery before it was artistically converted into a unique and stylish 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. Spacious (1700 sq/ft) with no 'germ laden' public or shared doors or spaces.
WHO SHOULD STAY IN THE BAKERY?
The traveler who appreciates unique, authentic spaces, but also values comfort and cleanliness. Who wants a quiet, private retreat in the middle of all the action.
Perfect for two couples, families with children over the age of 12, or multi generational relatives.
THE SPACE-
Lofty beam ceilings and exposed adobe brick. A huge great room, natural stone floors, beautiful old growth cedar doors and molding.
Luxury linens, quality glassware, new beds and sofas, a sprinkling of antiques, custom made furniture, original artwork, designer lighting with an industrial flair. Full kitchen, SS appliances, dishwasher, gas stove, gas grill, your own washer/dryer, WIFI internet, flat screen TV, coffee maker, microwave, ice maker, toaster, blender, cookware.
The first bedroom has a queen bed, second bedroom, adjacent to garden, has a gel memory foam topped king that can convert to 2 twins**. Basement den used to be a root cellar, and has a daybed for naps away from it all, but is not counted as a bedroom because of zoning. ( The window is not big enough for a fireman to fit through!)
Front bathroom has tub, second bathroom has low threshold shower and ADA sink. Both have new, elevated toilets and new shower fixtures. The two air conditioning/forced gas heat units were new in 2019.
A TYPICAL DAY
Breakfast in the warm Tucson sun, in your private enclosed garden courtyard. Linger over coffee under the Seville orange tree. Walk 3 blocks down to Tucson's oldest Yoga Studio for a morning class. Visit one of the nearby art galleries, museums. Stroll over to North 4th Ave for bohemian shopping and, of course, people watching. A short walk or streetcar ride brings you to the UA with its museums, arboretum, planetarium, and many cultural events. Lunch at one of the many award winning Mexican and Mexican fusion eateries. Back home again in your cool, quiet adobe fortress, browse the internet at the gathering table in the expansive light filled great room, while watching the bikes and pedestrians pass by your huge picture windows. The west window gives a perfect view of the brilliant pink and orange Tucson sunsets.
Invite your friends or colleagues over for drinks before strolling to the entertainment district for dinner and a streetcar to a UA basketball game.
If you are tired of dining out, you can bar-b-que on the natural gas grill in your private courtyard. The train passes by at just the right distance...the romantic rumbling evoking memories. It's a quiet neighborhood, with sidewalks and trees, but right on the edge of the vibrant Tucson downtown. People walk and cycle by. Because of the low humidity, the desert night sky is brilliant. (Which is why there are several observatories in the area.)

“Fit for a Queen”
Nancy is a great host! We use mobility aids to get around and Nancy took the time and care to take measurements of doorframes and steps and even researched her neighborhood to provide us with all the … More

“Tuscon downtown is a treat!”
As we drove up to this place I was perplexed. Kind of a low key area and not what I expected. I was just not familiar with how small the downtown of this sprawling city really is. The house was just… More

Response from the owner Thank you, Susan, for the nice review. You are so right about Tucson...It is really spread out, and it seems like I'm always driving to get somewhere. That is why we want to eventually move down there...go for days without getting in the car! Anyhow, I hope you do come back, and I'd love to have you and your friends spend more time at the Bakery'

“A beautiful house which is also very comfortable and well-situated.”
Nancy was extremely helpful before as well as on arrival and during our stay without being at all intrusive. The house has everything you will need, works easily and is really charming. There is parki… More

“One of the best we’ve ever stayed in”
We absolutely loved the bakery! We’ve rented from owners all over the world and this is one of our favorites. Everything is exactly as it should be with lots of extras (our 12 year old just a… More

Response from the owner Thank you so much, Mara. It's always a good feeling to hear that my guests had a good time. I'm so glad your daughter enjoyed her treat..I can just picture her. "You mean I can have it?" Growing up, my parents were "thrifty,'" so the hotel mini bar was strictly off limits. But one time, they let us have a coke from it. We felt like millionaires! I hope you do come back...soon, and often.

“The Best Place to Stay in Tucson”

Response from the owner Thank you, Anne, for taking the time to write such a nice review. I do need to do something to make it more obvious that the Bakery is pretty spacious. It's hard for a photograph to capture. I'm so glad you were able to have your family over for brunch, and make good use of the space. It was a pleasure having you stay there, and I hope you do come back again very soon! -Nancy Day

“A great place with a history you can feel.”
We spent a week in the Bakery in April on a birding trip to SE Arizona. It is a great central location in the city, from which we made a number of day trips into the surrounding countryside. There are… More

Response from the owner Thank you for the wonderful review, and for sharing your extensive knowledge about birding with us over the course of your stay. You and your lovely wife, as well as the other two couples who overlapped with your stay here, were perfect, wonderful guests. I wish you could move here...you all fit in to Tucson quite well.

“Amazing restoration, great location”
It's a beautifully restored former store/bakery with so much space. It's got two beautiful bedrooms. There was only two of us staying so we picked the lighter room that backs onto the smal… More

Response from the owner I really enjoyed having you stay at the bakery. Hopefully we will be moved in by 2018, so hurry back. The photos you took of the house, the Desert Museum, and especially the "Boneyard" are excellent. I am going to update some of my photos with yours as soon as I can. (For those of you who do not know about Tucson's "Boneyard," it is the acres and acres of retired aircraft parked near the airforce base. They sit there, in the rust free environment of the desert, looking ready to take off. It is really hard to convey the sizes, shapes, and sheer volume in a photo, but Ian took some of the best pictures I've seen of the place.

I am going to sound a little bit selfish, but I wish the owner does not move in shortly to the property, so I could rent to stay there on my next trips hahaha. Quiet neighborhood, perfect for honeymoo… More

Response from the owner Thank you for your kind review. It's going to be a while before we can actually move there permanently, but it is so nice to see other people enjoying the space when we can't. You and your lovely family are welcome whenever you come to Tucson.
