The Franco Apartments - A Downtown 1903 Victorian Style Brick Apartment

Welcome to the Franco Apartments. Our charming Victorian home, built in 1903 these were Tucson's first brick apartments. Located in the Armory Park historic district, definitely a lively neighborhood with a rich style of architecture that perfectly matches its history. You'll be in close proximity to a number of amenities such as shops and restaurants in the downtown area as well as entertainment, the arts, and only 1.5 miles from the U of A. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

The Victorian style brick apartment is a peaceful haven in the downtown Tucson area. Highlighting a classy, fresh atmosphere with 580 sq. feet of living quarters it features, hardwood flooring in the living room and bedroom, antique doors and knobs, high ceilings and thick walls, beautiful trim and windows.

Entering the bedroom you're met with a lustrous queen size bed (using a Casper mattress), decked with white cotton sheets and blankets, pillows and quilts, and a cool linen duvet cover. There are also two closets with wooden hangers and luggage racks for your use.

The bathroom has a cozy feel featuring a claw foot tub and corner sink, with plenty of fresh white linens for your entire stay. There is also a washer and dryer included in the home as well.

The farmhouse style kitchen includes stainless steel appliances (fridge, stove, oven, toaster oven), as well as a Keurig for your morning coffee or tea with a plentiful supply of coffee pods and bottled water. The kitchen is fully stocked with dinnerware, glassware, utensils, and basic cooking accessories.

For our guest's convenience we offer keyless entry by using the August Lock system making it simple and secure for our guests to gain access inside the home, using the August Smart Lock with the August app or if the quests prefer not to use the app they can use the August Smart Keypad with their own personalized keycode to grant entry to the home.

We provide you with a parking permit for on-street parking right in front of the apartment, which gives you easy access into the house. We also have gated off-street parking for 2 week long stays or longer.

Our mission is to provide our guest’s with a comfortable home that has a clean, fresh, living environment, giving you a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere to relax in.

Perfect Spot for Seeing the City
This little house was a perfect place to call home while visiting Tucson. It had everything one could need for a comfortable stay and was right downtown off 4th Ave, but didn't feel like it. The historic building has a lot of character, that, coupled with remodeled minimalist decor, was roomy and bright. My only suggestion is to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper, as it's located near the train tracks with trains moving at all hours. The back patio was a great spot for morning coffee and the front porch ideal for evening people watching. I'd love to return on my next trip!

Absolutely Charming
The property was charming inside and out and I was pleasantly surprised by it's spaciousness. It was comfortable and the layout perfect. The amenities met all our needs and the location was equidistant from both districts of Saguaro National Park. The private garden was a bonus. I would definitely stay again if the opportunity presented itself.
