Newer home in location close to Pearl and Alamo
When we arrived late at night, we wondered about the neighborhood, it was perfectly fine and close to downtown, highway and the Pearl district. Home is well maintained and our three teenage boys enjoyed it. We cooked meals there as well as went out to eat during our Friday-Thursday spring break stay.
Owners reached out midweek to make sure all was good. The only real downside are the train whistles that happen in the night. After a couple days we got used to them, but they depending on which rail line, the light sleepers in the group were awakened by the trains.

Great home, false advertising
PROS
-Home is very well-appointed, especially in the kitchen. Feels newly built or recently renovated with all of the comforts of home. The home is part of a complex, and it's a quiet little community.
-Beautifully decorated, including local San Antonio touches and Halloween decorations.
-Door code is the last 4 of your phone number, so you can't forget it! Loved having the alarm, too.
-Beds were high quality. We slept so well! Plenty of towels and blankets.
-Kid friendly with the high chair, white noise machines, outlet covers and crib- even an extra baby blanket. The closet in the master bedroom could easily be used as a nursery because there is an air vent in there!
CONS
1.) Perhaps the most upsetting con was an unexpected "extra guest" fee of $40. The listing states "Sleeps 8" and we brought 7 guests. I attempted to resolve this with the host, but was told that since the home only has 6 beds, our 7th guest prompted the fee for "extra cleaning and linens." We only slept in the 6 provided beds, and did not use the air mattress or the sheets for it, so the fee seems unwarranted. This was not advertised on the property listing, so I wasn't aware of it until I was in the booking process. Since we had settled on this lovely property in collaboration with another family, it was too late to start the home search over again.
2.) The upstairs shower is clogged. When taking a shower, we were ankle-deep in our own dirty water.
3.) The AC being on a fixed schedule didn't work for us. Our toddler coughed all night both nights because the upstairs bedrooms weren't cool enough.
4.) The check in and check out procedures were not clear. I had to message the host to request check in procedures the day prior, even though the listing states they would be sent automatically. When we received them, the information was cut and pasted multiple times, but bits of information were included and other info left out of different versions. I had to read through all 4 copies to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Check out directions were also unclear. In one set of directions, it said 10 am, and in another, it said 11.
OVERALL
If the host would change the description to "Sleeps 6" and add a disclaimer in the description regarding the additional fee for 7 or 8 guests, I would love to stay here again. However, since the host refuses to accurately list the home, as a fellow STR owner myself, I can't support those types of business practices. It's a shame, really.

Nice, clean, modern house. Loved it!!!
The property itself was clean, well-stocked, and modern. No issues with anything not working or broken. The house has built-in security and a parking cover so that gave me piece of mind. Beds were comfortable and we were able to have a group of 7 people with plenty of space to move around. Price was great too - easy drive to downtown SA for stuff to do. Would stay here again.

The owner Mrs. Malagamba was a true pleasure to work with! She was always available for questions and her communications very timely. Made the whole process an easy and seamless one! 😃👍🏼.

Quality Home within walking distance of a few San Antonio gems
This home was clean and brightly decorated with all the basic amenities needed to enjoy your stay in San Antonio. Although just with my sisters for our annual sisters weekend (without kids), the home is well suited for families too with all the basic details (crib mattress, high chair, fenced yard, and easy parking). The outdoor space is small but just what we needed to enjoy a sunny breakfast. The home is walkable to the Hayes St. Bridge, coffee, and a few great outdoor breweries/bars, and a short drive downtown for all the highlights.

Came in to celebrate our son's AirForce basic training graduation. So pleased with townhouse! Decorated so cute and was very spacious. Loved that kids' rooms were upstairs. When it was bedtime for our granddaughter, we could still enjoy our time downstairs. Beds were great, plenty of towels etc and grateful for carport parking. Great place for the whole family. Close to downtown, Pearl district and even got personal restaurant recommendation from Ana Rebeca and whole family loved it! Easy access and AnaRebeca responded quickly to all our questions. Highly recommend!

This was a fabulous house and location for our vacation. Beds were all comfortable and bathrooms were very nice. We could
Have used a few more hand towels for kitchen and half bath. The only other small issue was not enough room for family to play board games or have breakfast together. The dining table was small and only sat 4 but other than that it was perfect. We would definitely recommend this house.
