It was clean, very quiet, comfortable, and convenient. It was well stocked with everything we needed – extra cosmetics, coffee, and creamers and snacks. Parking was easy and the neighborhood was lovely. Check-in was easy and the host was very responsive. I would definitely stay again if I was in town. ##### Susan B.

May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable Mom and Dad When I saw this property online. I thought, this place is gorgeous. But when I walked in, the online pics didn't do it justice. This is the loveliest place we've ever stayed in. From the lighting to the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. We will be bacto to the top ##### Melanie C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie B.

Loved the thoughtful touches— coffee bar, snacks, laundry supplies, even a lint brush. Much appreciated. Great location, as well. Close to Trinity U and lots of restaurants and bakeries. ##### Stephanie B. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca B. Mar 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Home in Historic Area We absolutely loved our stay here! It was beautiful, clean, and had really comfortable beds. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The snacks left for us were a nice surprise and much appreciated! The neighborhood was quiet and had a unique charm, with historical homes in various stages of updating. The location was also great—very central and convenient for getting around.It was also very dog-friendly, which we truly appreciated. The owner went above and beyond by providing a large dog bed and feeding bowls, making our stay even better.Even though we didn’t cook, we noticed the kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Adding a cookie sheet, strainer, measuring cups, and measuring spoons would make it completely well stocked for any guests who plan to cook during their stay.The only recommendation would be adding blackout curtains or shades, as the surrounding lights allowed for a good amount of light coming in at night. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stay, and we would definitely return! ##### Rebecca B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy G. May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A FABULOUS Place!! My son is in college in San Antonio, and I have stayed at a LOT of places in this area over the last three years. None come close to this! The apartment is newly renovated and lacks nothing. The host is amazing. The area is great with restaurants within walking distance. I will stay here every chance I get! ##### Tracy G.
