Plenty of updated space
Very comfortable large home. Nicely appointed large rooms and updated bathrooms. Location was perfect for visiting San Antonio sites. Looked like the neighborhood was in a transition / fixing up old homes, but many were in poor condition. Thankfully there was a fence around this house and lights were on all night out back. Felt safer.

Amazing
Visited San Antonio with some friends for a little getaway, and we all fell in love with this property. It is a very spacious house with everything we needed. The rooms were spaced far enough apart so that we all had a good amount of privacy. The second kitchen upstairs came in handy to avoid having to go downstairs for that midnight drink of water. The backyard was gorgeous, I just wish we could've spent more time enjoying it. Overall, we all agree that we will definitely be booking this property again in the future!
