It was a very comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood. The location was just amazing. I looked up historic homes in the neighborhood and walked to a few and drove to others. It was really enjoyable. We sat outside a few times. Some of the outdoor furniture had seen better days but nothing we couldn't handle. The house had a ton of puzzles to pick from and beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again when we come to town.

We had a lovely visit and felt comfortable. Our host Jamie was very responsive when I had questions prior to our arrival, and he checked in to see how our visit was going after a few days. We thank him for that. The house is beautiful inside just like the pictures. We loved the decor and it was very clean! Very nice kitchen and bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable. Only one TV, but it made us talk, interact and read!! Lot's of games were available to play. We felt safe in the neighborhood, ordered Ubers to go where we needed to go. We would definitely stay in this beautiful home when we visit San Antonio again.

We didn't do much cooking as we were within walking distance to fabulous restaurants (a real bonus of this property). Bedrooms were spacious with luxury bedding and towels. Host was great- communicated with us before, during, and after our stay, which we really appreciated as our flights were late. You cannot beat the location- so close to The Pearl - a wonderful area to explore with restaurants, bars, shops, and areas for children to play. Access to the property was easy. We loved exploring San Antonio and then coming back each evening to enjoy this beautiful home away from home.
