Check-in was very easy with instructions provided by the host. Everything was very clear, and we were able to get into the room without any problems. The room was cute, very tidy and clean. There were thoughtful touches such as spare toothbrushes, laundry soap, and a coffee station. Although the room has great A/C and a ceiling fan, they also included a portable fan, which came in handy for more direct airflow and the white noise of a fan. There was a first aid kit in the room and a handy board with all the door codes so we wouldn’t forget them. Very few negatives, and they can’t really be helped. I’m not fond of street parking, but I didn’t experience any problems with it here. The other minor thing is there’s a dip in the floor between the living room and kitchen—it’s an older building, so it’s to be expected. It was quiet in the room, and I slept very well. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

The perfect little retreat!

My husband and I came to stay for a work event and it was just what we needed. You could walk to just about anywhere in downtown but the apartment felt safe and out of the way! The bathroom was small but was efficient and the host was efficient and quick to respond when we had a need. The bead was comfortable and the area was quiet at night.

Quiet and Convenient Location

This cozy little studio was very quiet and reasonably priced, and it's located in a lovely neighborhood that is conveniently located to the Riverwalk, the Alamo, etc. The check-in process was easy, and the hosts were very responsive to questions. While we didn't need it, it was nice to know that we had access to the laundry area as well.

SOUTHTOWN SAN ANTONIO

Thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay at Joe and Stephanie's efficiency unit in the gorgeous and peaceful Southtown neighborhood in San Antonio!! The unit was spotlessly maintained and very convenient to the downtown area and a variety of restaurants right in the area. We would definitely opt to stay again on any return trip to the San Antonio area!!
