Our host was very responsive and easy check-in/out process. House was as described. Great water pressure throughout house. Access to washer/dryer was invaluable. Having a place to sit out back for morning coffee was very relaxing. Easy walking to the River Walk area and the Henry Gonzalez Convention Center. The house is very well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed the house and would stay here again.

Thank you so much Kenneth! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we welcome you babk!
My family and I wanted to stay downtown for NYE to watch the fireworks and this was the perfect place to do it; the view of the tower was amazing! Such a cute house in a great location and we really enjoyed the hot tub! I would definitely stay here again.
This home was pristine and beautiful and perfect for two couples to stay at very close to downtown San Antonio in the King William area. Easy walk from the Alamodome and to multiple restaurants and shops. Outstanding communication from the host, would definitely book again!

The property was better than expected. Super clean, with all the basic amenities you could need. Communication with the property owner and team was excellent. Would definitely consider staying here again if my travels bring me back to San Antonio.

Thank you for choosing our property! Thanks also for bringing those items to our attention, like the birds nest. Wow it sure was made fast since we had been there a week before and it wasn’t there. We took it down! Welcome back anytime!
Excellent location for downtown SA, without being in downtown. We walked to everything within 5 minutes. Hung put them n the patio when we were at the house

Thank you so much Buddy. It was a pleasure to host you. You are welcome anytime!
We loved it. It was so nice to sit together in the dining room and share our meals. The kitchen was easy to maneuver and held several of us at once. The house is so charming. Thank you for allowing us to stay and we will definitely seek this listing next year if we do this race again!
