A must stay in San Antonio

I am not sure if you could find a better one bedroom that accepts dogs with easy access to town and the highway. The owners are responsive, the apartment is well equipped, large, comfortable etc..

San Antonio Visit

This property is well described and pictured on the VRBO web site. But, we were delighted to find that the appearance and features of the actual property exceeded the web site description. Our unit was cheerfully and esthetically decorated and functionally furnished. We had everything we needed (and then some!) and we appreciated the little extras like matching lounge robes, a Brita water-filter pitcher, mood candles and a large bouquet of fresh cut flowers. The appliances, electronics and rheostat lighting were all state of the art and no matter where you looked you could recognize the tasteful, talented touch of the owners who are professional designers. The rental office staff also enhanced the value of this property. They immediately made us feel like old friends, were always available, and their directions, information and advice were really helpful to first time visitors. Once you get acclimated, you realize that this property is just minutes away from many of the major attractions in San Antonio – the Riverwalk, the Alamo, the Zoo, the Quarry Mall, the Central Market, etc, etc.. If we return to San Antonio in the future we would schedule our trip to match the availability of the G2 Haus. We wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!

Staying in San Antonio
Guest: 50th Birthday
(Owatonna, Minnesota)

Review Submitted: 10/15/11
2 couples rented both apartments and it was only to excede our expectations. The apartments were top notch. The accomodations fit our needs wonderfully. We stayed for 5 days and enjoyed the Riverwalk so much. If you use the apartments as a jumping off point to the Riverwalk I would suggest renting a car. Too far to walk really, because once you arrive at the River walk you have ALOT OF WALKING TO DO ! In a heart beat we would rent these accomodations again if visiting San Antonio. THEY WERE MORE THAN WE EXPECTED. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT ! ! THANK YOU

In August 2011 spent two weeks in San Antonio on business, and decided to rent a furnished dwelling via VRBO. All the previous reviews for the G2 Haus were spot on. Elegant and comfortable design. Fully furnished and equipped kitchen, so being a geographical bachelor I made and ate most of my meals there. Great location, an easy walk to the Pearl Brewery and the riverwalk extension (leading you downtown) which is also a fairly easy walk. There are several music venues within walking distance of the G2 Haus as well, the White Rabbit is just down the road, as are several fine restaurants (el milagrito, The Candlight Cafe etc) Everything about the G2 Haus was great. Very quiet, slept great; and had there been any problems the owners live immediately behind the G2 Haus, and work directly across the street. Overall an excellent experience. I would rent the G2 Haus again and bring my wife and two kids. I would recommend the G2 Haus to my friends and colleagues.

The Most Pleasant Stay!!

Review Submitted: 08/03/11
I would like to sincerely thank you for one of the most pleasant stays I have yet to experience. Who could ask for better accommodations... Not one detail was left out! I hope you continue with your rental property endeavor because this is truly one of your "callings" and is truly appreciated by the lucky few that are fortunate enough to experience a G2 Haus stay. I am as anal as they come and therefore always dread the "unknown" hotel experience but G2 Haus far exceeded any of my 4 star/5 star hotel choices. Thanks for doing it RIGHT! Tell Jarid, we said hello and thanks again for his warm spirit!

Don't Settle for B&B When You Can Have G&G !

We can't do better than to echo all the praise other reviewers have heaped on this great place. You know, the Gs furnished with lighting and artwork way beyond what they could have gotten away with; which is kind of flattering when you think of it -- just as if they knew that you, in particular, would come along and take notice. In fact, after examining the row of photos/prints below the windows in the dining area, I promptly went to Walgreen's and printed up some of the cell-phone photos I had taken on exploring the Mission Reach project that is currently underway along the river to the south of town (the counterpart to the Museum Reach to the north of town, which is so easily accessible from the G2 Haus) By the time we left I had put these photos into several compositions of my own, under the inspiration of the HausArt, with happy results. An unadvertised but significant amenity. Even though we are familiar with San Antonio (my husband grew up there and we visit constantly) we were impressed with the wealth of information the Gs provided in their guide; didn't get a haircut, or a tattoo but did get a hamburger across the street and did try a couple of new restaurants. Loved the privacy, while appreciating the availability of help or advice if needed. Had our longtime San Antonio friends over for dinner twice, and they were also impressed. All too often an out-of-town stay creates so many of its own problems (noisy neighbors, long waits for valets to bring your car around--for $25 a night--long waits for crowded elevators, lumpy beds, rock-hard pillows (and so few of them!) scratchy towels rinsed in industrial-grade disinfectants, non-working AC, non-working vending machines, slimy ice dispensers and (other people's) children setting off fire alarms in the midle of the night) that you really wonder why you left town at all. The G-2 Haus is more than simply the absence of all that; it is the opposite of all that. Now we are just planning how soon we can come back.

The G2 was exceptional. The location is perfect, the bed is comfortable, the home is clean and relaxing. The beautiful sitting area off the porch is wonderful for relaxing in the evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed. We will definately stay again! Thank you G2!

I must say that the G2 Haus is a A+ property. The staff was friendly, polite and easy to work with. Then the apartment was totally awseome! The pictures don't even begin to show you what you are in store of getting. From the moment I walked in I was impressed. Nice, clean, decorated very elegant, lots of shade areas outside and in a safe quiet location. The bed is so comfortable I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud of air. All the appliances are top of the line. Minutes from everything. I will be staying here again plenty of times before this year ends. Thanks, Ruth, Gary, Jared and the rest of G2 Haus for making my stay so enjoyable.
