Clean house to stay in

We stayed here for our son’s graduation from BMT at Lackland and it’s just inside the 1604 loop. The house was clean and the AC worked great! Lots of restaurants nearby and Lackland was about a 15 minute drive, depending on traffic.

Good location

The neighborhood is old, but the house is updated and comfortable. It was about 15 minutes from Lackland Air Force Base, where we attended grandson's graduation it seemed we were able to get to all of the attractions within about 15 minutes.
