  Tripoint Flat has everything you could want in a vacation rental home. It's beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, and well situated just minutes from the River Walk, Fort Sam Houston, and the Zoo. There are some great little restaurants down the street, and for the exercise enthusiast, a YMCA right around the corner. There is a rental bike station around the corner too! And you can't beat Veriena's delicious pumpkin bread and the assortment of fresh fruit waiting for you when you walk in the door. We highly recommend Tripoint Flat and will return whenever we're in the area.

  Manager response: Theresa, Thank you so much for the generous review. My mom and I are glad the house worked well for you while you were in SA. Too bad the weather wasn't a little more cooperative during your stay. We hope you'll stay with us again next time you're in SA. Brad

  You could not wish for a more comfortable and accessible place to stay in San Antonio. Great host and hostess in a fantastic neighbourhood. We did not want for anything. Thank you Brad.

  I cannot begin to express my deep gratitude and appreciation for the kindness of Vierena and the assistance of Brad in making my stay so utterly memorable. The flat is so well laid out, well furnish, insanely clean and full of creature comforts. I am usually a bit finicky about my bed, but the master one was excellent. The deck with the surrounding garden was exquisite and my nightly forays into the spa were the height of relaxation. Brad not only made me feel welcomed but he was always johnny-on-the-spot with restaurant recommendations, grocery store locations, bakeries and directions (and maps) to each. I appreciated the security alarm on the house and I didn't realize that the tasteful bouquet of flowers on the table were real only after some of the petals began to fall off. On top of all of that, "mom" made me a loaf of delicious pumpkin bread! I cannot thanks both of them enough for making my stay inviting and comfortable.

• Wonderful House, Great Location Close to Trinity University

  We stayed in the Tripoint flat because of the close proximity to Trinity University. Our stay way wonderful! All the personal touches like having fresh eggs, homemade pumpkin bread and cream for the coffee made it so welcoming. After the long drive from New Mexico we felt very comfortalbe in the flat. All the art work is such a treat as were the gardens. We wish we had discovered this sooner than graduation weekend because we definitely would have stayed here on other occasions. For anyone who is visiting the Trinity campus this is a great place to stay. Just park your car and walk 1 block to the campus.

  We were in San Antonio for a conference and had the chance to stay at Tri-Point Flat. The location was perfect -- out of the crowds of downtown, but close enough to get there in 5 minutes. The house was immaculate and well-maintained. The back patio lush with hibiscus and martins and fruit trees bearing fruit. One night I couldn't sleep, and I was so relieved that I was not stuck in a hotel room with nowhere to go. My roommate was sound asleep in her bed, undisturbed, and I was in the living area watching television. The owner, Brad, was right there when we called him about the bill (no state for our organization), and he fixed it immediately. Nearby -- a 10 minute walk -- was a delicious barbeque restaurant, as well as La Fonda, one of the oldest Mexican restaurants frequented by the locals. I love the River Walk, but I will always choose to stay here.

  My husband, 11 year old son and I enjoyed Brad's gracious hospitality for a long weekend. The house is charming and very welcoming. We were all enchanted by the garden off the deck, that included banana and citrus trees. We also enjoyed the hot tub, outside shower, and melodious awakening to each day. The home baked pumpkin bread, fresh eggs and fruit were a welcome surprise after our long drive. Brad's art work decorating the house was delightful. Tri Point was conveniently located to the San Antonio area we wanted to explore. We had been to San Antonio before. This was the first time we rented a house, but certainly won't be the last. In fact, our son is already talking about "coming back to the same house!" Wonderful wonderful! Thank you Brad and Veriena!

  I often travel for work. So when my parents decided to visit over the holidays, the last thing I wanted to do was stay in hotels as we toured Texas. What a treat it was to stay at this property! There were many innovative uses of materials and wonderful art to enjoy. I spend a lot of free time working on DIY projects around my house and was truly inspired by the creative ideas in this house. I loved the backyard and the outdoor shower. This small house does not feel small in the way that it is furnished. Very comfortable. Thank you for leaving the box set of Planet Earth - it was just what we needed after a long drive! We also thoroughly enjoyed the pumpkin bread! We felt so much at home that we were looking for ways to stay longer!!

  This property was great. We had 4 women on a little vacation and we truly felt spoiled. The host was a very nice man who believes in making sure you are comfortable. He brought us homemade pumpkin bread one morning and another day he brought brownies. He had fresh fruit and fresh eggs for us when we arrived. We had to call him several times with questions about how to get places and referrals for restaurants and he was so kind and patient. We will stay here again if we ever go back to San Antonio. Lovely house!

  My husband, 2 year old, and I were in town visiting relatives. The house was perfect for us. The kitchen is fully stocked to prepare meals (pots, pans, oil, sugar, wine glasses, can openers etc.), yet the living space is uncluttered and my son was able to run around without causing damage. Furniture is very comfortable, art is tasteful, and host is hospitable. There is a fancy TV and DVD player. Best of all for those traveling with children -- we had a washer/dryer. Locationwise, the house is perfect for those visiting the Montevista neighborhood. The house is only about a mile to the zoo, Brackenridge park, museum etc. I was a bit worried about being so close to the freeway, but the building is well insulated and we were not at all bothered. One of San Antonio's great taco spots is around the corner "Milagritos." If you are interested, Brad will share a DVD of photos before/during/and after renovations. The house was a wreck and now it is beautiful.

  Our stay at TriPoint Flat Guesthouse couldn't have been better! Actually we liked the place so much that we decided to stay 3 more days! Brad is a phenomenal host...so accomodating and a nice person too! His banana bread, tortilla soup and the eggs from his chickens was so appreciated and yummy. The house has everything you might need, and is very comfy. The decor is wonderful especially the original artwork. (We liked Brad's art so much we bought 3 paintings!) There's even a lovely garden with a hot tub and outdoor shower! And a cute and very affectionate cat named Kitty Gaga! The house is in a great location, near the airport and although it's close to a freeway the noise never bothered us due to the good insulation and surrounding trees. Do not miss the Riverwalk, it's so charming! The new annex at The Pearl Brewery is only 2-3 minutes away by car. If you like to walk, that's a great place to start. Since we loved the house so much we ate in most nights so I can't really recommend any restaurants but the next time we stay we're going to try some of the local eateries. All in all we had a great stay and would not hesitate to recommend this special home!

  Manager response: Dallys, What a wonderful review you wrote for us!! Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to send them. I had such a great time with you, Eve and Tina. It felt like you were friends instead of guests. I hope the trip to San Antonio was all you had hoped for. Thank you also for buying the paintings. Please pass my thanks along to Eve. Your friend Jayne added her name to my mailing list. I'm sure she is as much fun as you all. I'll send the info on my studio open house in early December, so you can see the new work. I hope to see you again. Brad
