I was very comfortable at this location everything inside was very neat, clean and sizable for a full family outside was quiet and peaceful hardly any traffic definetly would book again if i visit this town loved it!!!!
Property was exactly as the listing described. Owner did a great job on making us feel welcome and we enjoyed the convenience of being close to the Botanical Gardens. Great place.
We were in town to see our son play at University of Incarnate word, this place was a perfect location to the school. The house was very clean and comfortable. Daniel our host was very attentive. Great Irish bar near by! Will definitely book again.
The stay was great. The location was easy to find and the host was very cooperative. There was a bit of noise from the neighbors at night which made it difficult at night but not the fault of the host.
First floor condo.. neighbors upstairs made a lot of foot noise

The location is great. Easy check in process. The unit has some wear and tear and doesn't look quite like the pictures. We are ok with things not being perfect because I know lots of people stay here but the two chairs in the living room were stained in a bad way. We would not sit in them. I let the property manager know and he said we could work something out and I told him to let me know what he was thinking and I didn't get a response except for the check out procedures. The smaller room with the queen bed is definitely the most comfortable! Take a fan if you're staying in the bunk bed room. It's a good spot if you're going to be out an about in San Antonio.

Hello Caitlin,
We are sorry for issues you encountered, we have spoken to cleaning company about this and also to the maintenance about adding fans in the twin bunk bedroom. Thank you, Daniel.
The neighborhood is not the best!!! .surrounding area is ok, with nice houses on one side and run down apartments throughout the area, especially on the street the unit is on. The door was unusually uncooperative but I called the property manager who offered a quick response. Host was very straight forward, not friendly at all(all about the money) not very appreciative or aware that I had a choice and chose HIS property. Inside the unit was very nice, spacious and accommodating. Really appreciated the washer and dryer in the unit, along with the pac-man game console in the kids' room. Extra linens and pillows were awesome.
The people upstairs dragged the dinning chairs across the floor and made it uncomfortable sleeping a couple of nights but it was a quiet setup otherwise..I felt safe once inside in the unit. Overall, a "Nice" stay!

poor communication from Daniel
No check in information provided till I sent a message to the property manager. Information send did not include which unit at the property. We essentially put in key code information going from door to door till the door opened.
There was no response from Daniel or Debbie for any messages I sent
NO HOT WATER AT THE PROPERTY - again no response from property managers
I would not recommend this property to anyone because of its management team

We are very sorry for your experience. The lack of getting a code or correct check in instructions has been addressed with a new employee. The internet issue could have been due to a recent outage, which was out of our control, but have confirmed it works fine. The hot water heater does work and we had responded to your message. Again we apologize for any inconvenience you may have had with us and all issues have been addressed and corrected. Have a wonderful day!
We came to San Antonio for my daughters graduation from basic training - I didn't know the first thing about the area or where to stay. I chose this place because it looked really nice and the price was very reasonable. It was also in between the airport and Lackland AFB.
The inside was very nice and the decor was beautiful, but as to be expected obviously "used" - we know you're not going to find a perfect vacation rental and the furniture and decor here was in really good shape compared to others we have been in. We don't have little kids, but we thoroughly enjoyed taking our turns at the little arcade in the "kid" room! LOL. My mom actually stayed in that room and said the mattress on the bottom bunk was very comfortable. (she didn't try the top bunk - she's 75! haha)
The towels are nice quality, and they provide full bottles of shampoo and body wash (bring your own conditioner tho!) Hand soap was in both bathrooms, some laundry detergent was available and dishwasher pods and dish soap. the dinner ware was very nice quality as well. Couch and chairs were comfortable (though the chairs did have some staining on them - again - a lot of ppl are in and out so to be expected).
There is a nice area in back with picnic tables and little grills. This apartment is by the complex's dumpster, which was convenient to throw trash away, but it was kind of smelly out the front door. The neighborhood and surrounding area was a little run down, but we weren't scared or anything - we spoke to some of the neighbors and people around the area (fast food places, gas stations etc) and they all seemed very nice. Nothing stood out to make us concerned about our safety.
We were in close proximity to a lot of fast food (whataburger is literally a few streets away!) gas stations and the highway. Downtown was only about 12-15 minutes away and the Riverwalk was beautiful! Highly recommend going there. The mall is clean and full of stores and little shops as well as restaurants, an aquarium, movie theater etc. so lots to do there. We ate at Margaritaville on the patio area right by the riverwalk which was nice!
We loved the convenience of where the apartment was located! The owner is really nice and friendly. We liked having the door code instead of having to keep track of a key. The smart TV was great to have as well.
Overall, a great experience in San Antonio and at our VRBO!

Dirty sheets and deadAnd alive bugs everywhere! Property owner admittedly MIA
Upon arrival we very excited about the location. Okay neighborhood, great location! Once we checked in I received an email message from the owner through VRBO. That said “Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I will be unavailable with my cell phone this evening until Sunday. If you need anything or have any questions or needs, you can contact my secretary Brenda through the VRBO app via text message or directly at (gave me a number) and she would love to help. Have a great weekend! Daniel.”
O….K….. first night there around 2:30am we were all awoken to dogs barking. Thin walls and even thinner windows, it sounded like these dogs were in the same room as us. I texted Brenda the secretary and sent her a audio video of how loud it was. She said, sorry and that she would contact the other tenants in the building about their dogs. Problem was it wasn’t the tenants it was the neighbors who leave their dogs out all night. I texted her back about 30 min later, dogs still barking and asked for a number for noise ordinance. No reply and no reply the next day asking if everything was okay, NOTHING. I ended up googling a number and the police did come out around 4am and the barking stopped until the next night.
I emailed Daniel through VRBO. I thought even if he wasn’t available at least he will see the message about the dogs. I also let him know about the stained sheets and BUGS dead and alive everywhere! I received back “Wow, I am sorry this has been your experience so far. I will be speaking to Brenda and my cleaning company about the issues. I will also contact all guests about the noise level of their pets. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your experience better and I will try to do so, Daniel”
Yes, this is nice that Daniel responded even though he would be unavailable via cell phone. I guess if it were our property and these issues arose I would be falling over myself to make sure my guests were okay. To us this response from the owner wasn’t a resolution it was a band aid.
We have rented through VRBO for over 15 years and have never encountered a situation like this.

Sorry for your experience Tim, I did speak with Brenda and she did contact the police non emergency for you, as you did mention it was the neighbors (not in the complex) dogs that were the issue. We cannot control animals and if you mentioned the other items she would have made sure the cleaning company would have gone by. We have pest control go by monthly as we take those types of maintenance issue seriously. When I go away or not available, I do send out messages, letting you know who to contact in case of emergency. It is my understanding that she did reply and answered you. Aside from the barking dog anything else would have been addressed within 24 hours.
The place was clean comfortable and an easy distance to the zoo, parks, downtown. Would stay again.
