just wish neighborhood was nicer
the owner helped us get in early when the code he had given us didn't work...had to phone him a couple of times but he was very helpful and seemed to fix the problem. linens, towels, kitchen appliances, coffee on hand was all very good. We only used one of the three bedrooms and the master closest to the train tracks....had to adjust to the loud noise but we were warned. If more of us had been there, owners should empty some of the dresser drawers and closets so you can put clothing away. The air and heat worked well and good hot water supply. We are simply not accustomed to residing in a neighborhood with 10% boarded up houses and I was a bit concerned so definitely locked up and took valuables. Owners very nice, but soory; I probably would not stay here again.

One night stay
This was a great little house to stay in for out of town work. The train is close but not horrible. The beds were very comfortable and place was clean.

We stayed only one night, but would love to come back! The neighborhood is undergoing renovations, but this house is very nicely updated. It had everything we needed, and communication with the host was outstanding.

Wonderful Stay in San Marcos!!
Aragon is an exceptional host and his place is fantastic. It's one of the nicest places I've stayed in. The house is in an older neighborhood that is in a redevelopment phase and Aragon house has been re-done just beautifully. It is better than the pictures portray. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. If you are considering booking, please read his listing and take note that there is an active railway behind the house. They did not bother us at all but I love the sound of trains. All in all, a fabulous experience and we will be back!!! Thanks Aragon!!

Convenient location for Texas State tour
We were in town for a campus tour and this location was perfect. It is a very short drive to Texas State, the Square, and the premium outlet mall. Our dog loved the spacious backyard and enjoyed playing outside and spent more time outside at this house than our house! The house is clean and had all the amenities we needed. Aragon was a great host and his communication is on point. He kept us updated on our request to check in early and even offered us the opportunity to drop off our dog and belongings if needed since we were contemplating on making it to a basketball game at the university prior to check in time. If you have any issues or even a simple question about the tv, Aragon does not hesitate to answer you immediately. We definitely recommend this property for anyone visiting San Marcos.
