Quaint, Comfortable stay
My mother and I stayed here over night and found it to be quite pleasant. We had all the amenities we needed and the place was clean and nicely decorated. My only suggestion is getting a railing for the staircase. Host very attentive to needs!

Beautiful and stylish home
One of the best places I’ve stayed at, the owner was very communicative and helpful. Also the place was great to stay at for a couple of nights and had everything we needed. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort as well into making it comfortable and also stylish with the design. It was a beautiful home and was so glad we picked it! I also came with my dog so it was good they had a gated yard for my dog to go potty and run around a bit.Felt safe, happy, and comfortable during my stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone..

This has been one of the most peaceful places I’ve stayed at. I felt safe since my arrival. I felt very comfortable accessing the property, and all throughout my stay at this Casita. The location is perfect. It’s cuter in person than in the pictures! I definitely recommend choosing this place when you’re in San Antonio! 10/10.
