This property was an absolutely amazing stay. The neighborhood was not only very safe and quiet, it was very close to all the places we were visiting including the creamery and pearl. Couldn’t get any better. The actual accommodations also surpassed my expectations. It extremely spacious. Plenty of rooms with curtains to keep the rooms dark and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the primary bath and towel warmer. What a nice treat! Would heavily recommend and if we return to San Antonio, this VRBO will be at the top of our list to stay. ##### Kelley N. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph H.

Location worked very nice as home is close to the Pearl district along the river walk so left car behind and got in some steps. About 25 minute drive to the base, 15 minutes to downtown and short drive to airport. Owner has supplied clean and spacious home with everything we needed for our stay there for us including kitchen supplies, games, toiletries, clothes detergent. The master bath is gorgeous. Owner was very accommodating and easy to reach if desired. Wife was extremely happy with the home which enabled us all to comfortably celebrate our families special event. ##### Mark P.

May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Renovated craftsman charm Beautifully renovated house in quiet historic neighborhood close to the Pearl. Everything was true to listing. About a half hour to the Riverwalk on foot. We rented bikes at Blue Star Bicycle Company on the Riverwalk, and rode to the five missions in the area on a perfectly maintained bike path, it was joyful! The cleaning crew missed the sheets in the master en suite, which is the only thing I can complain about, otherwise the cleanliness rating would have been excellent. All in all a great place to stay if you can’t afford a hotel on the Riverwalk itself, but the Pearl district has so much to offer too, and it’s really close. ##### Jo-Ann L.

It is located near the Pearl, which was very nice and also about 20 mins from the Lackland Air Force Base. Communication with Jason was wonderful! He responds immediately and was a great host. The property is renovated and the inside is very nice and updated. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms were very spacious, as was the entire home. My only suggestions would be to replace the shower head in the master bath because the water pressure was very weak and add some hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels. Also, the hand soaps in the bathrooms were not refilled, they were mostly water. Overall, great experience and we definitely enjoyed our stay! ##### Koren F.

We stayed in this house with our two teen boys for a weekend in SA. The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured. Lots of light! The layout is ideal with open living, dining, kitchen and family rooms. The neighborhood is going through some gentrification, so there are some really nice houses and others that haven’t been improved yet. The location is very close to some trendy and fun restaurants and coffee shops. Neighbors were friendly. Host was so pleasant and responsive. Very easy to work with. A great place to stay! ##### Julie B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raquel F. Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tap out your Airman and Enjoy your time together We booked Urban Elegance Retreat for our son’s AirForce Academy Graduation. The retreat was exactly as described. We wanted to stay together so my son didn’t have to choose who he visited with. 4 adults 3 teens. Very clean and extremely comfortable. We needed somewhere we could all be together but not on top of each other. It was a nice calm place to relax and visit. The separate living rooms were both outfitted with comfortable furniture and provided reasonable privacy and separation. We spent most of our time in doors as the weather was not our friend so it was imperative that it was comfortable and it did not disappoint. Thoughtful details throughout made it ascetic or comfortable. The owner was easy to reach for questions and was accommodating when he/she was able to be with requests. Most everything was addressed in a detailed welcome letter. Electronic access is the only way to go. Makes so all adults have access to come and go. That was great too. ##### Raquel F.

We found the Urban Elegance Retreat to be a beautifully renovated 1926-era Craftsman-style House located in the Tobin Hill neighborhood. This historically registered House is a short walk to the unique Pearl District nearby in which are located the famous Emma Hotel, as well as many restaurants and shops. It is also only a quick drive by private car or Uber ride to San Antonio’s fascinating River Walk. The Urban Elegance Retreat is impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. Each of its 3 large bedrooms boasts comfortable beds furnished with brand-new mattresses. Large closets are available for hanging clothes and storing luggage, etc. Both my son and I relished very restful nights sleeping on those comfortable beds. The living room and dining room are, also, of a spacious size and tastefully furnished. These rooms provide an ideal space where guests can gather for conversation or to share a meal they’ve prepared in the large kitchen well-appointed with brand-new appliances and cooking supplies for whatever type of meal is desired. Our favorite spot to relax after a busy day was the TV nook where we watched our favorite shows. We highly recommend the Urban Elegance Retreat to all travelers seeking comfort & convenience in a charming House close to San Antonio's many attractions. ##### Rebeca K.

We also truly appreciated the small touches, like having coffee available upon arrival – it was such a welcoming detail after our journey. Best of all, the home was impeccably clean, making for a comfortable and stress-free stay. Highly recommend! ##### Rachel T.
