I was grateful to spend two nights at Natural B&B at the end of February, 2008. I was able to get in at the B&B on short notice - I called Marc on the morning of my arrival in Tucson. I am a guy with severe multiple chemical sensitiviies and other allergies and I was eager to stay at Natrural B&B after finding it listed at www.bestgreenhotels.com.
Let me be clear, Natural B&B is not completely chemical, toxin, and emf free -- this is the only reason I didn't rate this B&B as Excellent -- not because I didn't love it, but I simply want others with severe chemical sensitivities to understand the situation. For those without such problems, I would rate Natural B&B as excellent.
The owner/manager, Marc Haberman, has done a good job of creating a comfortable and healthy place to stay -- the best I have found for myself, even with my allergy problems. Marc lives a healthy lifestyle himself and does massage therapy and energy healing work in Tucson. I found Marc to be friendly, knowledgeable, and sincere.
Highlights: quiet setting inside and out; vegetarian health food store (Aqua Vita) 3-4 blocks away and a Wild Oats Market within a short bus ride; close to bus stops; everything I needed to store and prepare my own meals; organic juices readily available; Marc uses non-toxic cleaners on everything; the room in which I stayed had a full size bed, a full size futon, and an extra futon mattress, which I loved; the shower had a shovwer filter; shoes are not worn inside; and my favorite, a large Honeywell air filter in the room.
I would recommend Natural B&B to anyone who is looking for a peaceful, healthy, simple place to stay. For those with chemical sensitivities, this B&B isn't perfect, but it is clearly the best I have found yet. Thank you and best wishes.
