The stay was great. The location was easy to find and the host was very cooperative. There was a bit of noise from the neighbors at night which made it difficult at night but not the fault of the host.

No check in information provided till I sent a message to the property manager. Information send did not include which unit at the property. We essentially put in key code information going from door to door till the door opened.
There was no response from Daniel or Debbie for any messages I sent
NO HOT WATER AT THE PROPERTY - again no response from property managers
I would not recommend this property to anyone because of its management team

The neighborhood is not the best!!! .surrounding area is ok, with nice houses on one side and run down apartments throughout the area, especially on the street the unit is on. The door was unusually uncooperative but I called the property manager who offered a quick response. Host was very straight forward, not friendly at all(all about the money) not very appreciative or aware that I had a choice and chose HIS property. Inside the unit was very nice, spacious and accommodating. Really appreciated the washer and dryer in the unit, along with the pac-man game console in the kids' room. Extra linens and pillows were awesome.
The people upstairs dragged the dinning chairs across the floor and made it uncomfortable sleeping a couple of nights but it was a quiet setup otherwise..I felt safe once inside in the unit. Overall, a "Nice" stay!

A great experience.
This was a great experience for me and my family. It felt like home. If this home was available for the next few days, I would of stayed longer. It had everything we needed and it looked very nice and clean. Thank you for everything. Oh, and the price was great.

The location is great. Easy check in process. The unit has some wear and tear and doesn't look quite like the pictures. We are ok with things not being perfect because I know lots of people stay here but the two chairs in the living room were stained in a bad way. We would not sit in them. I let the property manager know and he said we could work something out and I told him to let me know what he was thinking and I didn't get a response except for the check out procedures. The smaller room with the queen bed is definitely the most comfortable! Take a fan if you're staying in the bunk bed room. It's a good spot if you're going to be out an about in San Antonio.

The apartment was nice and as expected from the listing. We had no problems with the neighborhood, and it was a perfect size for our family of 5. The home did have some signs of wear, but wasn't uncleanly. We would stay here again if we were to return to the area.

Upon arrival we very excited about the location. Okay neighborhood, great location! Once we checked in I received an email message from the owner through VRBO. That said “Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I will be unavailable with my cell phone this evening until Sunday. If you need anything or have any questions or needs, you can contact my secretary Brenda through the VRBO app via text message or directly at (gave me a number) and she would love to help. Have a great weekend! Daniel.”
O….K….. first night there around 2:30am we were all awoken to dogs barking. Thin walls and even thinner windows, it sounded like these dogs were in the same room as us. I texted Brenda the secretary and sent her a audio video of how loud it was. She said, sorry and that she would contact the other tenants in the building about their dogs. Problem was it wasn’t the tenants it was the neighbors who leave their dogs out all night. I texted her back about 30 min later, dogs still barking and asked for a number for noise ordinance. No reply and no reply the next day asking if everything was okay, NOTHING. I ended up googling a number and the police did come out around 4am and the barking stopped until the next night.
I emailed Daniel through VRBO. I thought even if he wasn’t available at least he will see the message about the dogs. I also let him know about the stained sheets and BUGS dead and alive everywhere! I received back “Wow, I am sorry this has been your experience so far. I will be speaking to Brenda and my cleaning company about the issues. I will also contact all guests about the noise level of their pets. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your experience better and I will try to do so, Daniel”
Yes, this is nice that Daniel responded even though he would be unavailable via cell phone. I guess if it were our property and these issues arose I would be falling over myself to make sure my guests were okay. To us this response from the owner wasn’t a resolution it was a band aid.
We have rented through VRBO for over 15 years and have never encountered a situation like this.

When we arrived we could not get the key pad to open to get the key out-was told by manager the code also worked in the door. Never did get the key out. There was such strong plug in fresheners in unit we left door open to let fresh air in. We unplugged fresheners and sealed in a bag. Not sure what odor they were trying to cover up but the fresheners smell was awful! No hangers in closets to hang cloths on. One of the chairs in the living area was stained icky. When we took the sheets off the beds to leave, there was blood on one of the pillows.

I loved the location. We had some issues getting g in since the instructions given were inaccurate. This unit did not have a key or a pound sign on keyless lock. It was tricky but figured out after a few minutes. Communication from owner was not the best. I'd prefer to get my check in instructions at least 3 days in advance not the late morning on the day you check in. Freezer door was broken and was reported. Great showers though!

The apartment itself was very clean and exactly as described. We did have a few issues when we arrived with the TV. and hot water. After contacting the Manager a password was provided and we learned if we allowed the water run for 10 minutes we had hot water. (We believe the boiler had issues.)Outside this unit was the trash dumpsters & they were overflowing all 3 days we were there. Also the neighborhood is a little scary, you don’t want to take a leisurely walk around the neighborhood. The location is, however, close to all the sites of San Antonio: River Walk, Alamo, Zoo, Botanical Gardens. Overall the apartment was as described & very clean. We would book this apartment again.

Property manager Daniel was quick in response. We requested just 1 new pan for cooking but was sent a new set of cookware with pots and pans. Room was clean and kids liked to play with the arcade machine.

Place was unclean, sheet had not been changed, bedding smelled. Furniture was filthy and need to be shampooed. Bedroom ceiling fan made a screaming noise and other bedroom fan didn't work at all. Bathroom shower faucet was extremely hard to turn. List goes on. Will not go back or recommend. We left early. Really put a damper on New Years.
