The house has 5 bedrooms: two bedrooms each with private bathrooms and queen-sized beds, two additional bedrooms with queen-sized beds, one bedroom with four bunk beds, and a pull-out sofa in the living room with a queen-sized foam mattress for additional guests. The beds are outfitted with 100% cotton high-quality sheets and brand-new Tuft & Needle mattresses (even on the bunk beds), and the house has a zoned heating and cooling system, allowing you to adjust the air conditioning or heating on each floor of the house to your comfort.

There is basic workout equipment and a full washer and dryer in the covered carport, as well as a bonus detached restroom next to the outdoor fireplace for ease of access while outside.
The neighborhood has been quickly growing since we purchased the property as our personal residence in 2017, with a few shops and bars within a 5-minute walk from your front door: Folkores Coffee House serves up amazing specialty coffees and basic morning brews, Alebrije Bakery has newly opened and is often seen with a line out the door to buy their fresh breads, pastries, and cookies, Betty's Battalion is a funky little bar with cheap beer and live music, and Breakaway Brewing Company, a bicycle-themed brewery will be opening their doors in early 2023! All of these establishments are 3 blocks away from your front door. There is also a bike lane that continues all the way down Grayson Street to let you safely ride to the Pearl Brewery and shops in 7 minutes. Daily or weekly bike rentals are available at the Pearl Brewery area from Bike World.
Thank you for joining us at Casa Calhoun, and we know that you will love your time in our charming home.

We were very happy with our stay at the Casa Calhoun Retreat. It was safe and clean. We loved it. It was super convenient to the fair grounds and we never had to fight traffic.

Host was very accommodating to our check-in process as we were switching from another rental property. Property management had a very accurate description of the condo as well as the area. Was very impressed with the speed of response to any questions we had.
We had a mixed party that needed room to spread out, and areas to gather that was close to attractions as well as Lackland AFB. This property was exactly what we needed! Lots of space, lots of light, great areas to gather and comfortable beds.
We booked this beautiful 1900 home for a weekend getaway with some of our adult children. The house has been renovated sufficiently and offered the 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms we needed in addition to a modern granite kitchen. The location is perfect for visiting all the major sites San Antonio has to offer

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
The owner or manager was good - good communication. Place was very old and the outside was in very bad shape. No where outside was clean enough to use. The inside was much better but not super clean. Water pressure and hot water was challenging. No closets to hang clothes. Just extremely outdated on the inside. If I had another short stay in the area I would stay there again if I couldn’t find anything else. The pictures in the listing are a bit misleading. Also the neighborhood is pretty rough - don’t believe the Google search that Government Hill is up and coming.
Information for arriving at house was shared in a timely manner and had no issues checking in. Check out items were minimal.
We had a group of 8 and everyone said the beds were very comfortable. Kitchen is stocked with basic items and coffee tobget the morning started. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and have shower gel and shampoo if needed.
Plenty of parking behind the gate for our truck and car. The neighborhood was very quiet though and we saw very little traffic or people walking around. We kept the vehicles parked and used Uber to go out. House is convenient to downtown, The Park at Pearl and the Frost Center.
