Where the action is in San Antonio! Many attractions nearby to visit.o

It's all about location! Charming bungalow-style home nestled in the heart of San Antonio near downtown.

PLEASE NOTE: The VBRO bunglow is located and attached in back of the bunglow style house - very quiet and private.

Conveniently located 6 minutes (1.7 miles) from the downtown & 10 minutes to airport, Pearl Complex & Riverwalk (1 mile). Trinity University, Fort Sam Houston, Brackenridge Park (343 acres), and our St. Marys Strip restaurants/nightlife. Just down the road is downtown, King William, and Henry B Gonzalez convention center.

Business travelers and convention guests are welcome!

I am proud to say that I am rated one of the Best of AirDNE Rentals in San Antonio, Texas. Rated No. 5 out of Top 100 listings.

Enjoyed our stay
Comfortable space for 2 if you are just needing a place to sleep and clean up. Bathroom is on the small side and could use more space to hang up or place items. Would recommend supplying cutlery in the unit as well. Marilyn was prompt and helpful in replying to all questions. Safe and pleasant neighbourhood, easy access to downtown and River Walk, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring San Antonio.

Central Location says it all!
Very thoughtful Host, fantastic location: easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops, including the beautiful River Walk, and a short jaunt to The Pearl District. The space itself has more than enough room to spread out, everything you can think of for needs, and a bonus of a washer /dryer. We selected this place for its close proximity to family that live extremely close-by. We couldn’t have made a better choice as it was perfect.

Great little guest house
This home is extremely comfortable, the host was very friendly and accommodating, and the amenities provided made you feel at home. The only thing I could say is that the home is attached to the main house which was fine as there is still privacy we were just unaware upon arrival.

Great location
I loved the neighborhood it was quite and peaceful. It had plenty of towels ,washer and dryer. Marylin was a wonderful host she very accommodating. Respones fast to calls . The shower would be my favorite thing about this place the shower is amazing. The house is very clean. I would perfered a bigger tv but not a big deal. The bed was to firm and small for my liking I'm also 7months pregant and my spouse is a big ,guy as well. The bed will work better for smaller people who like firm mattresses. Freezer didn't work on the mini fridge ,but I'm sure Mrs. Marylin would have delt with that if I'v would have know sooner than later I didn't know until I was leaving and cleaning the out popsicle I had bought the night before. All in all I wouldn't stay again not because of Mrs. Marylin she was wonderful it just wasn't right for me. I will say with a bigger different bed I would stay again.

Great find
This is a very cute and comfortable property. Marilyn was welcoming and responsive. As other people have stated, there are properties in the neighborhood that are going through renovations, but you should not be discouraged. My wife and I walked every morning and were also able to walk to the Alamo and Riverwalk, if you don’t mind a 45 minute stroll. The Pearl is a little bit closer and there are a few local establishments that are definitely worth checking out.
