Cute little shotgun house. Welcome binder was great & had a ton of info. Location was excellent 5-10 minutes to most major attractions. There is a park 1/2 a block away, very active community playing pickleball, riding bikes, and walking. House has a driveway so you don’t have to park on the street. Super easy checkout instructions. Really enjoyed our stay.

Small from the outside but very spacious from the inside! Clean with a vintage look but includes modern amenities such as wifi, smart tv, two new air condition units, & comfy furniture. The location is the most awesome thing about this place. Walking distance to the alamo dome, as well as "downtown" historic district. They even left us a complimentary goodie basket with treats & snacks! A stay & we will use this property in the future!
