House was perfect for us and mother-in-law. Very clean and well appointed. Convenient but quiet neighborhood. Pop 2 blocks over to Jester which takes you to 610 and I-10 and on to Washington Heights area. Easy! Owner responds within 24-hrs. Access to house also easy. The sunroom off back of home was perfect for morning coffee. Master bedroom has king bed and with no windows made for a great sleep. Other beds were lovely also. Nice bathrooms. Highly recommend!

Fantastic!

This home was perfect for our extra out-of-town family to stay in during a funeral. The house had everything we needed, and it was so quiet. Also, the AC worked great. It was literally 5 minutes from our house.

In town for a funeral

We did not have space to stay with family, and a hotel seemed too generic. This house fit the bill for lounging spaces, bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchen space for us. Would recommend this quiet little house again!
