Easy on and off highway made quick trips to different sides of town easy to do. Home was perfect for the people we had and the 3 bathrooms and 2 showers made getting everyone around at the same time seemless.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The home was very nice. You can tell they put thought and a lot of effort when they remodeled it. Don’t let the neighborhood fool you. We thought it was kinda sketchy but it was very quiet and we had no issues at all. The only suggestion I would give would be landscaping up keep. It is perfect if you’re visiting Ft. Sam Houston, literally a 5 minute drive to the gate. I would stay again.
