"Wonderful Find!!
Clean, secure, quiet, convenient to so many things! Everything you could need provided in Kitchen + Bath, + Bed. We loved our time here. First stop was the visitors center for the S.o. AZ attractions Book. Also good for hiking trails. They can answer just about any question you have.
Cindy and Gregg can answer anything else. They are so attentive to the property. We appreciated that.
A very nice time in Tucson."

"I had the best experience possible staying in my well equipped, tastefully decorated apartment. Gregg and Cindy Pfeifle run a top notch operation. Tastfully decorated and they pay attention to every detail. Very clean and I felt safe being there. It is what I call a small "gated" community. They went above and beyond any expectations one would have. I had the great fortune of staying 3 months and it truly felt like home-I loved it there.
I highly recommend staying there and they are reasonably priced!"

"My partner and I stayed in a one bedroom unit at Pastime Suites from August through October while we searched for a more permanent place upon moving to Tucson. The unit was perfectly clean, reasonably priced, and included all of the amenities you could want: cable TV, WiFi, good lighting, and many small appliances (toaster, microwave, etc.). I work from home so having fast WiFi was extremely important to me, and I had no problems with it at all.
Gregg and Cindy were also great hosts and very accommodating to our needs. I felt like they truly cared about us and did everything they could to make our stay at Pastime Suites as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend Pastime Suites for anyone who is moving to Tucson and needs someplace to call home while they become more acclimated with the area. Our experience was nothing but positive and I wish there were a Pastime Suites in every city if we were to move again! :)"
Thanks Cindy!

"My husband and I stayed at Pastime Suites for the summer of 2019 and our experience was amazing!
The apartment was incredibly clean and tidy when we moved in. You could tell immediately that Cindy and Gregg put a ton of effort into making their tenants stay as comfortable as possible. Throughout the summer they were very kind and helpful and respnded to all our requests promptly. For example; they were very understanding and worked with us to accommodate our short term lease length requests. The area wasn't noisy and the apartments were safe. We would recommend Pastime Suites to anyone looking for a great furnished place to stay with great owners. Thank you Cindy and Gregg for making our stay wonderful!-The Mitchells"

" So grateful I found this listing! This was the perfect set up for me. The 1 bedroom complex was set up so cute and gave me a good homey feeling. The gated property was awesome plus I felt very safe here. Less than a 15 minute drive from St Mary Hospital. Cindy and Gregg were always very helpful and attentive if I needed anything. They keep the property very clean and take great care of their guests. Definitely would recommend!! Thank you guys again for everything. I loved living here."

"I was looking for an extended stay in Tucson so I goggled and found 311 pastime. I looked at the pictures they posted and I saw small stucco apartments, it looked so nice. I have been here now for 2 months, it is one of the safest (gated) and tastefully decorated places I have ever seen. A real place away from home. There's nothing you need, just yourself- dishes, sheets, towels, cleaning supplies, you have it, sugar etc.....and the owners Cindy and Gregg are kind and caring, such nice people. Will I come back? Yesss, if I do i will stay here again. Thank you for letting me stay with you. It was a wonderful experience.

"I stayed here as a temporary home during my relocation from Houston,Texas to Tucson for a job with Reytheon. This place is very quiet and secure. Everything you need is here or within a short drive. Gregg and Cindy were very kind and were here on the weekends caring for the landscape. I would have stayed longer if they werent so busy! I really enjoyed my time here and would recommend Pastime Suites over a big corporation hotel anyday!

"Our stay at Pastime Suites was longer than expected however, the owners were more than accommodating with our needs, even going above and beyond to help us.
The Apartments are well built, clean and fully furnished with parking right outside your door. The gated entry, quiet neighborhood and convenient location make this the perfect place to stay. We highly recommend them"!

"What a great experience! We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tucson in general and Pastime Suites specifically.
The unit was super clean, comfortable and safe. We particularly appreciated the secure place to keep our motorcycles and trailer. Gregg and Cindy are extremely responsive to requests and very pleasant folks!
The location is also a plus! Its close to shopping, post office, gym etc and only a short drive to Saguaro Nat. Park, where we enjoyed some incredible hiking. Lovely day/weekend trips to Tombstone, Tubac, and Globe.

"My stay at Pastime suites this past summer during an internship was a wonderful experience. I heard about this place online while I was in my apartment search. I quickly made an appointment with the landlord to see if this place would be a good fit for me.
As soon as the tour began, I could already tell that this was the place for me. A fully furnished apartment in a great area, close to shopping and my new favorite restaurant (In N Out), at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for?
This apartment complexes greatest strength that sets it apart from the rest is size. This is a small complex, which to some, could bring thoughts of neglect and poor quality of service. HOWEVER, Pastime Suites is just the opposite. I constantly saw the landlord at the complex and I was always greeted by name. Any service issues I needed fixing were promptly fixed, and any questions I had were quickly answered!
The only hiccups I had during my stay was a couple day long internet outage, but this was entirely out of the landlords hands, as it was a provider based problem.
Overall, this was hands down the best apartment I had ever stayed in. I hope to come back next summer!

"It has been a pleasure renting from the Pfeifle family for the last 12 months. I cannot imagine how any landlord could possibly do a better job than you guys.
Without your help, I might not have been able to acclimate smoothly in Tucson to pursue my Neuroradiology fellowship at the University of Arizona/Banner hospital. I am grateful for your kindness.
The home has always been well-maintained and any issues that were brought to your attention were addressed in a timely and courteous manner.
I have enjoyed renting from you and there is not a single thing to complain about. I felt very safe and comfortable.
The home is fully furnished!!!!! I mean fully!! TV,DVD, washer, dryer, mocrowave, toaster, etc...!!! and the best part of it, a super high speed internet that really eased my life staying in touch with my family back home and helped me access my work from home. The location is also more than perfect, everything around within a walking distance! Highly recommended place for rental!!
I wish you the best, again it was a pleasure dealing with you!"

" Hi! If you are a returning guest, you know how wonderful this place is and how terrific Cindy and Gregg are. If you are new (as we were) you are in for a real treat. Cindy and Gregg have created a real haven in this urban location. Pastime suites are clean, safe, well appointed, and a great place to kick back and enjoy a libation or two with your friendly neighbors. One exceptional guality is the sound proofing between units-what a plus!!
Additionally unit #3 is on the east side so it cools off pretty nicely in the afternoon and evening. At night get ready for a look at the stars!
Recommendations-if your first opportunity get to a welcome center by the university (free parking on the weekends) and purchase a "Tucson Attractions Passport" It is loaded with tons of 2-for-1 admissions to many, many local attractions. We saved a TON of money. We used it for:
Ok Corral, Old Tucson, Az sonoran Desert Museum, Tohono chul, and Kitt Peak National Observatory, We barely scratched the surface.
Some other sites we loved: San Xavier del Bac, Saguaro National Park, Sabino canyon, Rillito River Walk Turquoise Trail, Pima Air museum.
There are zillions of great restaurants and Lots of shopping here.
We hope this gives you a snapshot of your away from home-home. Enjoy!

You have been great landlords for the last 2 months, you have bent over backwards to make our stay great. Thank you both!!!
It was our first time in Tucson and we didn't know what to expect. the pastime suites have been very homey for us and safe. We had wonderful neighbors and we are looking forward to seeing them again next year.
We loved the walks and touring around, sitting out on the patio and taking in the sun and warmth. We will have lots to share with friends and family back home in South Dakota.

"This is my third time here-second time in #5. I've enjoyed every day of each stay. Tucson is a wonderful place-so much to do and sunshine to make it fun-Sabino Canyon for hiking, Rillito river for biking and hiking, nogales for curio shopping, Old Tucson, Kartchner caverns, Tombstone, Willcox, Bisbee, etc. for southwest experiences and so much more.
I've enjoyed many church experiences too-St Phillips in the Hills, St Augustine Cathedral, Yaqui Easter festival, San Xavier, and many others-each special in its own way.
Most of all the people in Tucson are warm and friendly. They make this lovely city even better.
Thank you Cindy & Gregg for making Pastime Suites such a comfortable place to be. I look forward to coming back again next year and I wish you the best in the meantime. Thanks for a wonderful Tucson home!"

"Pastime suites is the place to stay if you need an extended place to stay. The 1-bedroom is comfortable, clean and priced reasonably. With the washer and dryer included along with a BBQ it had the comforts of home. After a long day at my new job it was relaxing and a place put your feet up. The owners are friendly and pleasant.
I would highly recommend Pastime suites to anyone if you want a place that feels like a home away from home"

Great location too; close to shopping and restaurants, and a 5 minute drive to the highway and downtown. Cindy and Gregg are lovely, and were always responsive and helpful, even with little things. Thanks so much for a terrific stay in Tucson!"

We have enjoyed our trip to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona, Phoenix, and Tombstone, and Tucson Mt. Lemmon, Sabino Canyon, Old Tucson. The list could go on, but again without you we would not have had this nice place to stay-feeling very secure on the property and I cant wait to plan another trip to Tucson. Take care-until we meet again-friends forever."

"This was my second stay at the Pastime Suites, the first being five years ago. I must say that Cindy and Gregg have done a great job of maintaining the premises. It is as nice now as it was then. The unit was clean and well-equipted. Everything is as described in the listing. Also, it is convenient to downtown, the university, I-10, shopping, dining, and activities. For an extended stay in Tucson, it would be hard to beat. Cindy and Gregg are also super hosts, responsive, and easy to deal with from start to finish. I hope to rent from them again."

"I have so enjoyed my stay. Was originally scheduled to leave and had some medical complications. Cindy could not have been more accomodating,made me feel very cared for. This is a great location, what I call Tucson Funky-stores, restaurants, great public transportation.
Cooked and ate Thanksgiving dinner here-it was lovely. I look forward to returning.

"Thanks Cindy & Gregg. Our experience at Pastime Suites was great. We felt comfortable from the minute we walked in and it just got better. So many things to do in the area. Gates Pass was one of our favorites. Our month long stay was too short. Enjoyed every minute"

"The move across country from Columbia South Carolina to Tucson was not an easy decision so it was a great relief to have a comfortable place to stay while we figured everything out. The location was a quick drive to work and helped us learn about the area. The apartment was great. Wishing you guys the best, thank you again."

"Pastime suites is the place to stay if you need an extended place to stay. The 1-bedroom is comfortable, clean and priced reasonably. With the washer and dryer included along with a BBQ it had the comforts of home. After a long day at my new job it was relaxing and a place put your feet up. The owners are friendly and pleasant.
I would highly recommend Pastime suites to anyone if you want a place that feels like a home away from home"

"This was the perfect apartment for my 3 month work assignment near Tucson. The unit was very clean and comfortable, well appointed with furnishings and satelite tv, and felt really secure. Great location too; close to shopping and restaurants, and a 5 minute drive to the highway and downtown. Cindy and Gregg are lovely, and were always responsive and helpful, even with little things. Thanks so much for a terrific stay in Tucson!"

"Thank you so much for everythiing. You have made our stay very comfortable. Truly, a home away from home. We have enjoyed our trip to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona, Phoenix, and Tombstone, and Tucson Mt. Lemmon, Sabino Canyon, Old Tucson. The list could go on, but again without you we would not have had this nice place to stay-feeling very secure on the property and I cant wait to plan another trip to Tucson. Take care-until we meet again-friends forever."

"This was my second stay at the Pastime Suites, the first being five years ago. I must say that Cindy and Gregg have done a great job of maintaining the premises. It is as nice now as it was then. The unit was clean and well-equipted. Everything is as described in the listing. Also, it is convenient to downtown, the university, I-10, shopping, dining, and activities. For an extended stay in Tucson, it would be hard to beat. Cindy and Gregg are also super hosts, responsive, and easy to deal with from start to finish. I hope to rent from them again."

"This is our fourth winter staying at Pastime Suites. Right there is a ringing endorsement for these units. They're comfy, convenient, secure and homey. Gregg and Cindy are so attentive to everyone's requests. We're very grateful for their excellent service and what they provide for Tucson visitors."
12/13-1/14 Mike and AB Tinker, Iowa
"5 Stars. Should be 6 stars. Just a great place to stay. I originally thought I would be there 3 to 5 months while I looked for a house to buy. I was there 20 months. Cindy and Gregg are great owners. They will always go the extra mile to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I stayed in a one bedroom apartment for awhile before my wife joined me and we were able to move to a two bedroom Both were very nice and well maintained. We highly recommend Pastine Suites."

"This apartment has been the perfect home for me as I worked here in Tucson over the past 3 months. Cindy and Gregg have been extremely accomadating. the apartment was furnished with all of the essentials, and was a comfortable, stress-free place to live. The location felt, safe, secure, and conveniatly located to most parts of town.I enjoyed living here and will certainly recomment it. Thanks!"

"Where do I begin? My entire stay in Tucson was working for my company. I needed everything since I didnt know how long I would be here. The house was close and convenient to my office. It was fully furnished.....and I mean fully! Pots, pans, dishes, ironing board, iron, plates, silverware.....you name it, it was there. The landlords were the nicest people I have ever met while traveling for my company. They made the entire process effortless. This was the easiest, most convenient stay I have had to make traveling for my company. It was such a pleasure that should I ever return to Tucson for vacation, I will definitely be contacting them again."

"We came here from NY for warmth and good medical care. We found warmth when Cindy and Greg welcomed us to our new home for the next two months. As promised everything we would need to start our stay was here. Cindy even included things like an apron, wine bottle opener and glasses, a crock pot, an electric can opener. This apartment complex is so convenient to car repair, dentists, doctors, shopping, food stores, fast food, fine dining, shopping, gas stations (sams club always has cheapest gas), car dealers (auto mall), movie theater (but you have satilite TV in Apartment). EVERYTHING anyone could need is on N. Oracle!. Did I forget to mintion SHOPPING!. The next best thing about staying here is the medical care. My husband had open heart surgery in NY but we came here for his rehab. Tucson has some of the best hospitals in the country with several just a few miles from the apartment. So enjoy your stay here (hopefully as much as we did) and safe travels where ever you go from here."
Feb-March 2013 Bert and Linda NY.
"This was my first time in Tucson, and Cindy made me feel welcome; always concerned that my needs were being met. I love the football and Nascar, so she made me a deal on cable so I wouldnt miss any event. Loved apt. 5, and it truly felt like home away from home".
Sept. 2012 thru Dec. 2012 Lorenco
"Hard to believe our 3 month stay is almost over! We love Tucson! Golding,Hiking, sightseeing, and wonderful restaurants. One of our favorite things is to walk to Paradise for coffee and a scone. My gold game even improved-must be all the sunshine! Thanks to Cindy & Gregg for being wonderful hosts. Their zeal to continually improve the units shows how much they care. It is much appreciated. Already looking forward to our December stay. Gotta love being Snow-Birds!"
Margaret & Ted, Chicago, Illinois 3-21-12
"Had a wonderful time in Tucson. Many good restaurants and shopping. Utilized apt. 5 as if it was home away from home! We were comfortable, felt safe and will come back here in the future. This was our 3rd year in Tucson and we visited many great sites, lots of nature and plenty to do. Cindy & Gregg thanks for the hospitality."
Gary & Maureen Mentor on the Lake, OH 3-1-12 to 4-30-12
"We drove from the Chicagoland area, and we couldn't ask for a better place to live for a month. It is centrally located for hiking, Saguaro National park east, Saguaro National Park west, Sabino Canyon, Catalina State Park and madera Canyon across from Green Valley. Like golf, Dorado Country Club Golf course is affordable and an 18 hole executive course. Tubac is an artsy, crafty community off Hwy 19 south of Green Valley. On the way back to Tucson stop at Wisdom for a great Mexican meal. March is a great time to visit Tucson as there are many great weekend festivals. 311 Pastime provided us a great place to relax after a busy day. Cindy and Gregg respond to requests/concerns immediately. Electronic gate adds to the peaceful enviroment. Thank for a great month."
Jim & Claire Aurora, IL 3-1-12 to 4-1-12
"Very seldom do you stay in a place where you immediately feel at home. But we did here. The condo is well equipped, clean and comfortable and the weather was wonderful. So much to see here, we were busy touring all the sights-Pima Air & Space Museum, Tital Missile Museum, Tombstone, Bisbee and Kartchner Caverns. Recommend lunch at Tucson Tamale Co. and supper at Guadalajara Restaurant. Cindy and Greg are great hosts. Definitely stay here again."
L&M 2-1-12 to 3-1-12
"This place is great, everything you need. Shopping and eats are close. The Rillito River Trail is a great place to walk, run or bike if you have one. Sabino Canyon Recreational Area is a place to do hiking, running or just go for a simple walk. We spent alot of time at these two places. Also a great place to visit Catalina State Park, Old Tucson Studios (take a whole day), Az-Sonora Desert Museum (1/2 day), International Wildlife Museum. Take a trip to Tubac, it is a great little town to walk around and shop or eat. We spent a lot of time in the outdoors. Soon we will be back to Northern Minnesota to cold & snow."
Sue and Gregg Silver Bay, MN 1-1-12 to 1-31-12
"Making a reservation of accommadations from the U.K.-'sight unseent' is a task, but we have been really pleased with the result!. Our month's stay here has been really pleasant. It has been lovely and quiet and the location is so convenient. We have enjoyed a comfortable home away from home! Thank you for being so helpful particularly at the beginning (our very delayed arrival).

"Pastime Suites felt like a home away from home complete with two wonderful owners. From the frist email to the move-in experience and everything after that, they could not have been more professional, responsive or helpful. They said that they wanted to build in an ideal location in Tucson that is close to everything, and it's clear that this property was the right choice. Places close by include Mimi's Cafe, Jason's Deli, Olive Garden, many other restaurants, UPS. Fry's, Sunflower and Sprouts Markets, Walgreens, Walmart, Home Depot and Super Target. Any other stores can be found at the nearby Tucson Mall. Jacob's Park for picnics-it has an accessible playground-and Rio Vista Park for nature walks are nearby. Ten miles of beautiful trails that are part of the Rillito River Walk allow for hiking and biking, and the section accessed by 1st avenue and River Road is even shaded in the morning. Actually, everything is near that one would need within a 20 minute ride at most and usually within minutes by car, including major city sightseeing destinations and all that the U of A offers visitors. The duplexes afford comfort, attractiveness and convenience. The photos only hint at the spaciousness and quality of the interiors. The duplex was immaculately clean, neatly landscaped and stocked with everything needed-except food if you dont count condiments - to live there for a month. The area was safe and private, the owners were even in the process of installing a security gate. Cindy and Gregg are probably the best part of the rental. Cindy helped fit a water filter to their kitchen faucet and put lifters under the two front legs of the bed. She and Gregg also brought in an extra bed for my guest and fitted my bed with a cozy egg crate for sore hips. Cindy gave information and advice about the area and acted as if she were a longtime friend, while perfectly respecting privacy when no help was needed. They were both always very responsive. For example, Cindy suggested stores and restaurants and where to find a post office and mailbox close by, to name a few things. It felt very secure to be new in a city, knowing that they were so accommodating and available. With all the advantages of the duplex itself plus the caring service by Cindy and Gregg, anyone would love to stay at Pastime Suites and enjoy the quality, convenience, and superb value."

"Recently I stayed at Pastime Suites for a month while working at the courthouse. The apartment was clean, spacious and included everything I could ever want. Cindy is an attentive landlord who routinely checked to make sure I had everything I needed. The location is conveniant and the grounds are quiet, clean, and safe. It was exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a longterm apartment to make Pastime Suites the first call"
M. May 2012
"From the information on the website we knew exactly what to expect-but were pleasantly surprised to find the apartment even nicer than the pictures show. It was well appointed and maintained-very clean. The location lent itself to nearby shops (a Super Target within walking distance) and restaurants. We especially enjoyed Sweet Tomatoes and the Good Egg. Best of all, Cindy and Gregg, the owners, were available, friendly and very helpful with any question or need. They were on site and made you feel welcome, comfortable, and at home. We would certainly return to Pastime Suites and would highly recommend them to our friends".
G&G Goshen, IN January 2011
"The unit was just as the listing description and photos presented. The unit was like new-clean and well maintained. We hiked, biked, golfed, attended a rodeo, enjoyed the Biosphere and downtown Tucson and found the location to be ideally located. Cindy and Gregg were responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely refer to family and friends".
Ted and Margaret, Chicago, IL February-March 2011
"We had a wonderful stay at 311 Pastime #4. The kitchen was very complete and the extra's like salt, oil, coffee, etc was very nice. Very comfortable home away from home in Iowa. Very unique little community with excellent neighbors. We will stay here again when we winter in Tucson".
Mike and AB Tinker, Iowa December 15 - February 28, 2011
"Thank you for this clean (much appreciated), well furnished and nicely decorated home away from home. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants. Best of all, Cindy and Gregg are available and helpful with any question or problem and keep making improvements. We would return here and would recommend it to others".
Glenn and Geneva Stoltzfus-January 2011
"To tell the truth, when Jackson & colter Physician Center offered me Pastime Suite Apartment, I had some doubts of the location. But, as the old adage say=you cant admire the most beutiful tree in the forest if you don't look for it. A am very fortunate to stay in Pastime Suites for its very clean, always fresh lodging, and not only its GREAT location but also close to shopping places, banks and restaurants. I realy enjoyed my stay here--for I feel very safe and its quiet. Most of all, I can relax (away from Phoenix) and comfortable watching your Fox news channel every night. My hats off to Gregg and Cindy for giving us--guests--a great place to stay."
Nick Lim MD July to December 2010
"Gregg & Cindy's duplexes provide everything needed in the way of a home environment for our daughter as she completed her final UofA classes while working full time. For 3 months Pastime was the ideal location; beautifully decorated & equipted, quiet, safe, and convenient to campus, I-10, gym, shopping, and work. Our daughter could not have had a more perfect location to live alone and have the comfort of knowing Gregg & Cindy were just a phone call away. These duplexes are more than rentals, they are truly a home away from home. Thanks Gregg & Cindy"
Sierra Madre, California July to September 2010
"Ok, you can read all the other testimonials posted here. They are all true. But do you want to know the best part? You get GREGG and CINDY who are friendly, responsive, caring people--the best landlords you could hope for. We spent three months last winter at Pastime Suites and we look forward to returning for a second stay next winter."
Flemington, New Jersey winter 2010
"We stayed a month in April. It was everything as advertised with very informed and informative landfolks. They were very accomadating to our schedule and let us come a day early. It was very clean and the design was well thought out. A very enjoyable stay. We recommended it to some friends who also found it to be quite nice."
Mesanites, Colorado
"This particular property is every bit as beautiful and comfortable as the pictures indicate. Very clean and cozy and well situated to shopping and great restaurants. The owners are on the property daily cleaning and making sure their guests have everything they need and are quick to help with any situation. They are very concerned that their guests are comfortable. I would definetely recommend this property to anyone who is traveling to the Tucson area and in need of accomodations."
-SBach, Ireland
"We are retirees from western Colorado who had a really rough winter and finally decided to relocate to this area-so we have ben househunting. Some friends recently stayed here during a month long visit and recommeded these apartments. We have realy enjoyed staying here: the apartment was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Cindy and Gregg have done a great job with these units. During our stay we have alternated between looking at real estate and sightseeing: we have seen Reid Park, Tubac, the Titan Missile Museum, Tohono Chul Park and the Pima Air & Space Museum. We hope to be moving to this area later this year."
-Jim and Judy, Colorado.
"I can't say enough about this wonderful opportunity and great people, more like friends than landlords. This lovely quiet place is in a nice location: walking distance from dozens of shops and restaurants, and a very short, simple drive from U of A. I was welcomed arriving from the airport near dinnertime on a Saturday, shown a spotlessly clean duplex thoughtfully equipped, even with spices and bottled water in the fridge. Being made to feel welcome was dearly a daily delight the entire month. the place is well built, well insulated, thoughtfully laid out, well furnished. Internet access was essential for me, and the entertainment center was fully up to date (I hear stories about satellite TV being unreliable during storms, but this is Tucson!), including a couple devices I haven't yet learned how to operate. Cindy and Gregg kindly offered good advice on restaurants, trips to Rocky Point, hiking nearby. I doubt there is anything a hotel in Tucson could do to get my business if this is an available alternative."
-RMH, Columbia, MO
"We are from Tucson but teach in India. Returning to Tucson to visit our son and other family has been a real trial as we've only had 1 room and had to walk across the common room to get to the bathroom. We found Cindy and Gregg's place and fell in love. The apartments are CLEAN and quiet! Kitchens are supplied and we even made homemade tacos several times and had our son over for dinner! The washer and dryer were a blessing and the Internet allowed us to stay in contact with our school and the selection of TV stations helped "catch us up" on Amnerican TV. We will be back, again and again! Wonderful place to stay!"
-Michael and Renee Crawley, Hyderabad, India
""My husband and I were in a tough spot to find housing fast while we were in between homes, Gregg and Cindy were wonderful. They made what would have been a stressful time easy. We stayed for a month and I can't begin to say how much I appreciate Gregg and Cindy's hospitality. Thank again for everything!!!"
-Ralph and Tommoro, Tucson, AZ
"My wife and I stayed here for two weeks during the gem show and were completely satisfied at every step of the process from our initial inquiry to checkout. Cindy and Gregg are great hosts, friendly, helpful, and responsive. The unit is charming, clean, quiet, and well equipted. It is convenient to shopping, downtown, attractions and the gem shows. All this at an affordable price. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if we return to Tucson".
-Scot and Jeanne, Madison, WI
"We were very pleased with our duplex in Tucson. It looked exactly like the pictures on the net. Tucson is easy to navigate...and our location made it easier! We would highly recommend it."
-Clyde & Darlene Downs, Ripon, CA
"Whenever we go to Tucson-several times a year as our sons are in the college at U of A- we prefer to stay in these quiet, lovely duplexes. Although in the middle of everything - restaurants, movie theaters, shopping mall - the units are comfortable, very clean and QUIET! Much, much better than a hotel or resort. We particularly appreciate the fully equipted kitchen and the washer and dryer in each unit. Truly a "home away from home". Just wish these friendly, helpful owners had more of these units avaialbe as vacation rentals as they are often booked well in advance. We guarantee you wont find nicer accommadations at this price!"
-Anonymous, Scottsdale, AZ
"WOW, a great home away from home. I was in Tucson for 10 months and was only able to enjoy this property for the last several months. If I had known of this location I definatley would have stayed there the entire time I was in Tucson. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Very Satisfied."
Tony Ascenzo, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
"All I needed was my toothbrush!! This has been my home away from home for the past 3 months while here in Tucson on business. The accomadations far exceded my expectations, very clean, comfortable, close to everything from restaurants to recreational parks and from shopping to sightseeing. The beautiful view of the Catalina Mountains right out the front door is beyond words. Gregg and Cindy have been very helpful and knowledgable as I attemped to become familiar not only with Tucson but other points of interest throughout Arizona. I look forward to a return visit and would encourage anyone to stay right here when they head out to Tucson."
-Bonnie J Winn RN, kannapolis, NC
"This charming apartmnet/condo was exactly what my wife and I needed for our recent Tucson visit. It offers a central location with comfortable and tasteful decor at a great value. The amenities were exactly as described. The owners are friendly and helpful. After a day out-and-about it was very relaxful to return to such comfortable surroundings. For business or an extended stay we definetly recommend."
-Ron and Karen, Ranco Mirage, CA
"We enjoyed our time here in Tucson & the neat duplex. It was very quiet and yet so nice to have easy travel to grocery stores & restaurants. I loved the decor too-very upscale in its cleanliness. I believe we visited just about all the points of interest from downtown to trail heads-a fun time!" Roger & Donna

"We had a wonderful stay at 311 Pastime #4. The kitchen was very complete and the extra's like salt, oil, coffee, etc was very nice. Very comfortable home away from home in Iowa. Very unique little community with excellent neighbors. We will stay here again when we winter in Tucson".
Mike and AB Tinker, Iowa December 15 - February 28, 2011
"Thank you for this clean (much appreciated), well furnished and nicely decorated home away from home. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants. Best of all, Cindy and Gregg are available and helpful with any question or problem and keep making improvements. We would return here and would recommend it to others".
Glenn and Geneva Stoltzfus-January 2011
"To tell the truth, when Jackson & colter Physician Center offered me Pastime Suite Apartment, I had some doubts of the location. But, as the old adage say=you cant admire the most beutiful tree in the forest if you don't look for it. A am very fortunate to stay in Pastime Suites for its very clean, always fresh lodging, and not only its GREAT location but also close to shopping places, banks and restaurants. I realy enjoyed my stay here--for I feel very safe and its quiet. Most of all, I can relax (away from Phoenix) and comfortable watching your Fox news channel every night. My hats off to Gregg and Cindy for giving us--guests--a great place to stay."
Nick Lim MD July to December 2010
"Gregg & Cindy's duplexes provide everything needed in the way of a home environment for our daughter as she completed her final UofA classes while working full time. For 3 months Pastime was the ideal location; beautifully decorated & equipted, quiet, safe, and convenient to campus, I-10, gym, shopping, and work. Our daughter could not have had a more perfect location to live alone and have the comfort of knowing Gregg & Cindy were just a phone call away. These duplexes are more than rentals, they are truly a home away from home. Thanks Gregg & Cindy"
Sierra Madre, California July to September 2010
"Ok, you can read all the other testimonials posted here. They are all true. But do you want to know the best part? You get GREGG and CINDY who are friendly, responsive, caring people--the best landlords you could hope for. We spent three months last winter at Pastime Suites and we look forward to returning for a second stay next winter."
Flemington, New Jersey winter 2010
"We stayed a month in April. It was everything as advertised with very informed and informative landfolks. They were very accomadating to our schedule and let us come a day early. It was very clean and the design was well thought out. A very enjoyable stay. We recommended it to some friends who also found it to be quite nice."
Mesanites, Colorado
"This particular property is every bit as beautiful and comfortable as the pictures indicate. Very clean and cozy and well situated to shopping and great restaurants. The owners are on the property daily cleaning and making sure their guests have everything they need and are quick to help with any situation. They are very concerned that their guests are comfortable. I would definetely recommend this property to anyone who is traveling to the Tucson area and in need of accomodations."
-SBach, Ireland
"We are retirees from western Colorado who had a really rough winter and finally decided to relocate to this area-so we have ben househunting. Some friends recently stayed here during a month long visit and recommeded these apartments. We have realy enjoyed staying here: the apartment was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Cindy and Gregg have done a great job with these units. During our stay we have alternated between looking at real estate and sightseeing: we have seen Reid Park, Tubac, the Titan Missile Museum, Tohono Chul Park and the Pima Air & Space Museum. We hope to be moving to this area later this year."
-Jim and Judy, Colorado.
"I can't say enough about this wonderful opportunity and great people, more like friends than landlords. This lovely quiet place is in a nice location: walking distance from dozens of shops and restaurants, and a very short, simple drive from U of A. I was welcomed arriving from the airport near dinnertime on a Saturday, shown a spotlessly clean duplex thoughtfully equipped, even with spices and bottled water in the fridge. Being made to feel welcome was dearly a daily delight the entire month. the place is well built, well insulated, thoughtfully laid out, well furnished. Internet access was essential for me, and the entertainment center was fully up to date (I hear stories about satellite TV being unreliable during storms, but this is Tucson!), including a couple devices I haven't yet learned how to operate. Cindy and Gregg kindly offered good advice on restaurants, trips to Rocky Point, hiking nearby. I doubt there is anything a hotel in Tucson could do to get my business if this is an available alternative."
-RMH, Columbia, MO
"We are from Tucson but teach in India. Returning to Tucson to visit our son and other family has been a real trial as we've only had 1 room and had to walk across the common room to get to the bathroom. We found Cindy and Gregg's place and fell in love. The apartments are CLEAN and quiet! Kitchens are supplied and we even made homemade tacos several times and had our son over for dinner! The washer and dryer were a blessing and the Internet allowed us to stay in contact with our school and the selection of TV stations helped "catch us up" on Amnerican TV. We will be back, again and again! Wonderful place to stay!"
-Michael and Renee Crawley, Hyderabad, India
""My husband and I were in a tough spot to find housing fast while we were in between homes, Gregg and Cindy were wonderful. They made what would have been a stressful time easy. We stayed for a month and I can't begin to say how much I appreciate Gregg and Cindy's hospitality. Thank again for everything!!!"
-Ralph and Tommoro, Tucson, AZ
"My wife and I stayed here for two weeks during the gem show and were completely satisfied at every step of the process from our initial inquiry to checkout. Cindy and Gregg are great hosts, friendly, helpful, and responsive. The unit is charming, clean, quiet, and well equipted. It is convenient to shopping, downtown, attractions and the gem shows. All this at an affordable price. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if we return to Tucson".
-Scot and Jeanne, Madison, WI
"We were very pleased with our duplex in Tucson. It looked exactly like the pictures on the net. Tucson is easy to navigate...and our location made it easier! We would highly recommend it."
-Clyde & Darlene Downs, Ripon, CA
"Whenever we go to Tucson-several times a year as our sons are in the college at U of A- we prefer to stay in these quiet, lovely duplexes. Although in the middle of everything - restaurants, movie theaters, shopping mall - the units are comfortable, very clean and QUIET! Much, much better than a hotel or resort. We particularly appreciate the fully equipted kitchen and the washer and dryer in each unit. Truly a "home away from home". Just wish these friendly, helpful owners had more of these units avaialbe as vacation rentals as they are often booked well in advance. We guarantee you wont find nicer accommadations at this price!"
-Anonymous, Scottsdale, AZ
"WOW, a great home away from home. I was in Tucson for 10 months and was only able to enjoy this property for the last several months. If I had known of this location I definatley would have stayed there the entire time I was in Tucson. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Very Satisfied."
Tony Ascenzo, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
"All I needed was my toothbrush!! This has been my home away from home for the past 3 months while here in Tucson on business. The accomadations far exceded my expectations, very clean, comfortable, close to everything from restaurants to recreational parks and from shopping to sightseeing. The beautiful view of the Catalina Mountains right out the front door is beyond words. Gregg and Cindy have been very helpful and knowledgable as I attemped to become familiar not only with Tucson but other points of interest throughout Arizona. I look forward to a return visit and would encourage anyone to stay right here when they head out to Tucson."
-Bonnie J Winn RN, kannapolis, NC
"This charming apartmnet/condo was exactly what my wife and I needed for our recent Tucson visit. It offers a central location with comfortable and tasteful decor at a great value. The amenities were exactly as described. The owners are friendly and helpful. After a day out-and-about it was very relaxful to return to such comfortable surroundings. For business or an extended stay we definetly recommend."
-Ron and Karen, Ranco Mirage, CA
"We enjoyed our time here in Tucson & the neat duplex. It was very quiet and yet so nice to have easy travel to grocery stores & restaurants. I loved the decor too-very upscale in its cleanliness. I believe we visited just about all the points of interest from downtown to trail heads-a fun time!" Roger & Donna
"We realy enjoyed our time here. Very good location. This apt. is clean, nice and quiet. We had wonderful bike rides. A destination to remember---." Audry and Jean Yves
