The property was perfect for the six of us. My son and his sixteen year old enjoyed the privacy of the Casita where they could stay up late while the rest of us enjoyed the main house. It was so close to everything we did. We will definitely stay again .

The house and casita were both very accommodating and were exactly what we needed. Communication with the property manager was excellent and concerns were addressed immediately. The amenities were more than were expected, and there were very few things we needed to provide ourselves. We would certainly stay again when we come back to San Antonio and need this amount of room again.

It was just right for our group of 10. Very clean and great location. The foldout couch in the guesthouse out back was the only negative - sank to the middle.

Just an overall great experience in this place. Comfy, plenty of rooms for larger gatherings. If you are traveling with 5-6 people (or double that for couples) this is a great spot.

San Antonio -wonderful tourist destination

The interior is comfortable and clean although the neighborhood was a mix of old and new. The location is close to downtown and easy to navigate. Nearby grocery and restaurants also added to the convenience of location. San Antonio has much to offer for visitors and friendly people. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it as a great place tonvisit

UTSA Graduation Family Base Camp

We stayed here to be close to the Alamodome for my son's graduation from UTSA. Plenty of room to accommodate my immediate family as well as grandparents aunts uncles and 1 small cousin! Plenty of room to socialize, etc and then for everyone to have a room and 3 bathrooms to (not) share! Host provided coffee/creamer for morning and plenty of kitchenware so we coukd cook breakfasts in the morning and spread out conviently located take out at night. Close to Alamodome for the big event and the riverwalk to celebrate afterwards!

Graduation Celebration

Great home, worked well for the 10 of us.host was most accommodating. Price point was good. Third bedroom in the home needs a clothes rack or hooks on the wall as no place to hang your clothes, coats,etc. also could use more towels in kitchen.
