About this property
The Downtown Abbey- The Parlour
About this space
This historic space is centered right in the heart of San Marcos. Its European design curated with care for exceptional style and comfort
The space
The Parlour is nestled in the heart of the Downtown Abbey. Our middle unit in our triplex boasts vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy your stay in downtown San Marcos. This unique space is a stones throw away from the best attractions San Marcos has to offer.
Guest access
All of the spaces within the unit are private and available for use exclusively by the tenants.
You will have complete access to the entire space of The Parlour.
Other things to note
The Abbey is a 120 year old church building that has been converted into a tri-plex over the years. There are many quirks to a building this old! There is one shared wall- the hallway- within the unit. The farmhouse kitchen is equipped but please note we offer a Ninja tabletop air fryer for oven usage (it can roast an entire chicken!) and the stove top is a countertop double cast iron burner as pictured.
There are absolutely NO PARTIES allowed. Since the building is divided into a tri-plex, out of respect for our other guests, we do not allow parties. Quiet hours are between 10PM-8AM. If there is evidence of a party or a noise violation, there is a $300 penalty and we will ask you to leave immediately.
