Christine, thank you for your kind review. Hope you made it back home safely. Come visit again.
My friends and I enjoyed a three night stay while attending a conference. It was way more comfortable and fun than a hotel. I highly recommend it.

It was a wonderful experience staying at this home! Our visit was for 4 nights, and we enjoyed returning to our place after the long days. The basics and appliances were included, and a grocery store is a few blocks away. A quiet and comfortable neighborhood. We'll definitely be staying here again when visiting.

Enjoyable Stay
This was a really nice place in a suburban neighborhood. The home itself was very nicely decorated and very clean. The backyard was a great place to hang out and pretty private despite the closeness of the homes on the street. We were there to see our son graduate at Lackland AFB and it was about 20 minutes away, and only about 10-15 minutes from downtown San Antonio. Perfect location for both. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Nice
Five star experience everywhere except the bathroom of all places : ring in the tub, and really old and not very clean looking : shower curtain, towels, and bath mat. But everywhere else is great - quality stuff and clean. Well stocked kitchen with a beautiful deck and backyard. This is just a spectacularly well restored, authentic, and comfortable bungalow. Absolutely would stay again. I would buy this house if it was for sale.

Thank you for a nice review. We hired a different cleaning company that I believe would do a better job.. I alerted the cleaning staff to pay close attention to the bathtub since it is an old tub and probably would need a resurface soon. Hope you come back and visit. We always welcome the guests’ input since it helps us improve.
This property has everything we needed for our stay. Easy check in and out. Clean and organized and set up well. Roomy for the size. Wahser and dryer so we could just take carryons. Grilled 2 nights in the beautiful back deck and yard. Sat on the front porch swing alot. Felt safe even though it wasnt a high rent neighborhood. Cute neighboring houses too.Security codes were easy to navigate. I wanted to purchase the home myself.

Perfect stay!
This house was perfect for us (me, my husband, and our adult son) for our Christmas trip. Very well maintained, with a nice kitchen including a great gas stove and refrigerator with crushed ice and water in the door, good array of dishes and cooking pans, coffee maker, etc. plus two grocery stores nearby to stock it. It’s cozy but not small. Queen beds in the two bedrooms were comfortable. Wi-Fi worked great. We definitely hope it will be available the next time we come to San Antonio to visit family.(As others noted, the driveway might be a little tight if you have a larger vehicle, but there is plenty of street parking as well.)

San Antonio home
This was an awesome home for a long weekend in San Antonio. The house was perfectly outfitted with everything from bathroom soap and shampoo to coffee in the kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the private backyard space with the fire pit, Adirondack chairs and lighting. It was a great place to enjoy a family gathering with roasting marshmallows with our grandchildren. Parking was a little tight but the home is on a quiet street. We also appreciated the host’s quick response when I had missed a text about the security system. We will definitely want to stay again in the future!
