This location was outstanding! You would not be able to tell from the outside how grand the inside actually is. It was nice location wise and offered everything that was in the description. If there was anything I would improve on would be to provide more kitchen towels but that is a very minor issue that is wiped away with the experience one will have staying at this location. Thank you to the host of this location and we will definitely suggest this location any time one will ask where to stay!

We had seven adults/teenagers and the layout worked well. Nice older home in a good neighborhood. Great location for walking to coffee shops and less than 15 minute drive to Pearl Markets, Zoo, and Riverwalk. And, good access to Bandera, Greune and Boerne. The pool is not heated so it would be great during hotter weather. The host is very responsive to questions.
