"The house was super clean, comfortable and beautiful. We felt at home. The location was perfect, near River Walk, Airport and the Frost Bank Center where the concert was. The check in process was really easy and Tania sent me all instructions with enough time to get ready for my trip. I will definitely recommend this house for your next visit to San Antonio. The price is also very good compared to all Hotels I checked. Thumps up!!!!"

"The house was much larger than anticipated. The property could have housed at least 12 people. It was so easy to Uber or access downtown from this property. Additionally, there is a conveniently located coffee/small grocery store within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again."
