Cali Family visiting San Antonio

1st time to San Antonio, so we, of course, were not familiar with the area or neighborhoods. But enjoyed our stay. House was cute and quant and was easy to get to. House was close to multiple options for food and grocery shopping. We were about 20 minutes from downtown, the river walk, the Alamo, Airport and also visited the Hospitak which was also about 30 minutes in differnet direction. Overall, our visit was nice. Rooms are spacious and back yard is nice for visiting and enjoying a bbq or just drinking coffee. I'd stay again.

Truly enjoyed our stay. Clean, great yard space, comfortable beds, hot water worked well, all rooms had ceiling fans and 2 extra floor fans to use. Location is extremely convenient to JBSA Lackland, HEB, Walmart, Costco, lots of places to eat and shop in Dove Creek and off Potranco. The owners are extremely responsive and thorough with their responses. If other reviews call out cats and lots of cars, I would say do not let that deter you. Yes there are cats but they are not a bother at all and don’t really come to this house and are actually great for bugs. In San Antonio neighborhoods it isn’t uncommon for people to park along the street, so that shouldn’t be a deal breaker. The house is in a culdesac so less traffic zooming through (or none at all). Extremely quiet. Will be our go to when we come in town to visit!

Good location

The neighborhood is old, but the house is updated and comfortable. It was about 15 minutes from Lackland Air Force Base, where we attended grandson's graduation it seemed we were able to get to all of the attractions within about 15 minutes.

Clean house to stay in

We stayed here for our son’s graduation from BMT at Lackland and it’s just inside the 1604 loop. The house was clean and the AC worked great! Lots of restaurants nearby and Lackland was about a 15 minute drive, depending on traffic.
