Quaint- just perfect!

We stayed for 5 nights. The size and location of property - close to all the hot spots- was perfect. I didn’t know much about the neighborhood before booking but was pleasantly surprised with the culture of the Tobin area. Took several walks throughout just to absorb the old world charm. The property had a huge closet - room that had lots of extra amenities. I would stay there again most definitely.

Great little guest house

This home is extremely comfortable, the host was very friendly and accommodating, and the amenities provided made you feel at home. The only thing I could say is that the home is attached to the main house which was fine as there is still privacy we were just unaware upon arrival.

Just perfect

We went to San Antonio to visit our daughter at college. This property was perfect for our needs. It was clean, comfortable, had parking, was walking distance to the college and to restaurants. The owner is friendly and helpful. We will definitely return on our future visits.

Central Location says it all!

Very thoughtful Host, fantastic location: easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops, including the beautiful River Walk, and a short jaunt to The Pearl District. The space itself has more than enough room to spread out, everything you can think of for needs, and a bonus of a washer /dryer. We selected this place for its close proximity to family that live extremely close-by. We couldn’t have made a better choice as it was perfect.

Nice unit for weekend visit

Nice little quaint unit to visit friends. Neighborhood was quiet. Walkable to Nola’s for brunch. There was an issue with the mini fridge not being cleaned out from previous customer but that was minor issue. All amenities were in working order.

Trip to see my son.

We had a wonderful stay with Marilyn. The apartment fit us perfectly and gave us a quiet place to chill in what was a very hectic trip. It was nice to be away from the downtown area where it's quiet and relaxed, but still close enough to be there in minutes. The area around the apartment is full of newly renovated buildings and we found an amazing restaurant nearby that was safe for my wife, who has Celiac and is very sensitive to gluten. We had to move our trip back two weeks unexpectedly and Marilyn was really nice and accommodating about everything. I couldn't be happier with our choice to stay with her.

Enjoyed our stay

Comfortable space for 2 if you are just needing a place to sleep and clean up. Bathroom is on the small side and could use more space to hang up or place items. Would recommend supplying cutlery in the unit as well. Marilyn was prompt and helpful in replying to all questions. Safe and pleasant neighbourhood, easy access to downtown and River Walk, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring San Antonio.
