The property was exactly as described in VRBO. The location was close (10-15 minutes) from most San Antonio attractions. It was very clean and obviously refurbished in this neighborhood that is transitioning from poverty and being gentrified.
Close to downtown. Great property/location. As described. Loved the decor. Would recommend. Will stay again when in the area. Great communication from host. We enjoyed the mattresses on the beds the most haha. Comfortable beds.
This home was spotless, adorable, and exactly as pictured. The unique charm of the space created a relaxing atmosphere, and every detail was cute and thoughtful. From start to finish, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a clean, cozy, and uniquely charming spot, this is it! Hosts were fast with communication and very nice too :)
This is the cutest house and provided great backgrounds for my teenage girls to take pics, (always a plus to have the teenage girls happy).
It was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We washed clothes, cooked big brunches, watched Netflix and Roku.
The positives about this home is the decor, just precious! They had EVERYTHING from toiletries, laundry supplies, dishwasher pods, paper towels, trash bags, coffee with creamers and sweeteners. We did not have to run to the store for any household items. There is a smart TV in every room, comfortable beds, lots of hangers, extra blankets, seriously they had it all!
The downtown area in general and this neighborhood is not nice, but we didn't have any issues. It is super convenient with a grocery store and Walgreens down the street. Is close to the Riverwalk, Alamo, Market Square, and Ft Sam Houston, the reason for the trip to attend the Army officer graduation of our son. If we return to SA I would stay there again, no hesitation.
