It was a great place for my husband and I to stay. The price was very reasonable and located in a very nice neighborhood. Down the block was a diner, a Mexican restaurant, and another restaurant and some stores, etc. Maybe a 10-15 minute scenic walk to the start of the main area of the Riverwalk, the horseshoe. Less than 5 minutes’ drive (10 minute walk) to an HEB grocery store, where they had some organic fruits/vegetables and some gluten-free packaged options, etc. All of the above areas are safe to walk to and from. Our hosts were extremely quick to respond to any questions we had. They maintained good communication during our stay. The only concern we had was the shower had low water pressure the 2nd morning of our 2 night stay, but that was most likely due to the shower filter needing to be changed. The water pressure was great the morning before.

Great location! The studio is so close to restaurants and riverwalk. The neighborhood is nice with beautiful old houses. We appreciated the k-cups, cream and bottled water that were provided. We enjoyed the garden area for happy hour. Bed is super comfortable! Water pressure could be better, otherwise everything was perfect!

This little place is set up perfectly for a couple of people to really enjoy all that SA has to offer. Very secure. Great location! A lot of nice touches throughout. WiFi worked flawlessly, the couch was very comfy. The only reasons I can't give it 5 stars are really personal preference things. In no particular order, the pillows on the bed and in the closet were huge and what I would call over-stuffed and not comfortable. There were only two spoons in the drawer and generally were pretty large tablespoons. The garbage disposal would not turn on, I couldn't find the reset switch on the disposal and it was not plugged into a GFI so not sure why it didn't work. We didn't need it thankfully. The water pressure was very weak in the shower but not in the bathroom sink or kitchen sink. Not sure why? Maybe an over aggressive low-flow washer in the way on the shower head or the on-demand hw heater can't keep up with the need to allow for more flow in the shower? It was not awful to be clear. Lastly there was no tea kettle for boiling water in, (plenty of options on the coffee front) the pan I could find was too large and had a broken lid handle. The owners were very responsive, great communication and were going to take care of what they could ASAP so I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. I wish we could have seen the place and neighborhood in a more springtime like state. The patio looked like a great amenity too. We would love to come again.

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.

I thought it was going to be hard to find parking in this area, so close to the Riverwalk, but parking was easily available to find and very close to the apartment!Probably just myself and not understanding the directions clearly at first after a long late drive, but I found the door combinations were JUST ever so slightly confusing at first when I arrived at the building. But when I read through the directions slowly, I understood them and was able to get in without an issue. The location was very nice and clean. If I was TRYING to find SOMETHING to say bad about the location, it would be the hot water/cold water temperature in the shower was the only thing that I could fault it for. It was a little hard to find a perfect temperature for the shower that wasn't a little too warm for our liking.....and even that's not really a complaint it's just the only thing I can come up with to fault the location for. Even with that being said, I would stay here again!
