Keys and instructions – Keys for the house you’ll get after your request is confirmed

Driving up from the airport:
The easiest and most straightforward way is to drive out of the airport, take a left at Valencia, a right after about 1 mile/ 0.8 km onto Campbell, the next large road. You will stay on Campbell for about 7 miles (about 11 km). Campbell changes name to Kino after you pass under a large highway (Interstate 10). Stay on the same road, now Kino, until you reach a traffic light at Broadway.
Turn right at the traffic light onto Broadway and drive about 1 mile (about 0.8 km). You’ll pass through another traffic light, and turn right at the second traffic light, at Tucson Blvd. Now drive slowly, because you will be turning left almost immediately at the next road.
Turn left onto Manchester St. (a very short section, but the street sign says "Manchester St."- see the map image).
Then bear right onto Stratford St. and you will see a small rotary.
Bear right around the rotary to continue on Stratford St.
Turn left onto the first street, Devon Street.
The guest house, at 2826 East Devon Street, is on the right after about 600 feet (about 180 meters).
