    This was perfect as I was visiting my daughter who attends Trinity University. It was an easy walk to campus as well as several local eateries. The place was cute and well equipped with amenities. The owner was helpful and friendly. I will definitely stay again if this is available next time I visit my daughter.

    We had a wonderful stay with Marilyn. The apartment fit us perfectly and gave us a quiet place to chill in what was a very hectic trip. It was nice to be away from the downtown area where it's quiet and relaxed, but still close enough to be there in minutes. The area around the apartment is full of newly renovated buildings and we found an amazing restaurant nearby that was safe for my wife, who has Celiac and is very sensitive to gluten. We had to move our trip back two weeks unexpectedly and Marilyn was really nice and accommodating about everything. I couldn't be happier with our choice to stay with her.

    We stayed for 5 nights. The size and location of property - close to all the hot spots- was perfect. I didn’t know much about the neighborhood before booking but was pleasantly surprised with the culture of the Tobin area. Took several walks throughout just to absorb the old world charm. The property had a huge closet - room that had lots of extra amenities. I would stay there again most definitely.

    Comfortable space for 2 if you are just needing a place to sleep and clean up. Bathroom is on the small side and could use more space to hang up or place items. Would recommend supplying cutlery in the unit as well. Marilyn was prompt and helpful in replying to all questions. Safe and pleasant neighbourhood, easy access to downtown and River Walk, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring San Antonio.

    Very thoughtful Host, fantastic location: easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops, including the beautiful River Walk, and a short jaunt to The Pearl District. The space itself has more than enough room to spread out, everything you can think of for needs, and a bonus of a washer /dryer. We selected this place for its close proximity to family that live extremely close-by. We couldn’t have made a better choice as it was perfect.

    This home is extremely comfortable, the host was very friendly and accommodating, and the amenities provided made you feel at home. The only thing I could say is that the home is attached to the main house which was fine as there is still privacy we were just unaware upon arrival.

    I loved the neighborhood it was quite and peaceful. It had plenty of towels ,washer and dryer. Marylin was a wonderful host she very accommodating. Respones fast to calls . The shower would be my favorite thing about this place the shower is amazing. The house is very clean. I would perfered a bigger tv but not a big deal. The bed was to firm and small for my liking I'm also 7months pregant and my spouse is a big ,guy as well. The bed will work better for smaller people who like firm mattresses. Freezer didn't work on the mini fridge ,but I'm sure Mrs. Marylin would have delt with that if I'v would have know sooner than later I didn't know until I was leaving and cleaning the out popsicle I had bought the night before. All in all I wouldn't stay again not because of Mrs. Marylin she was wonderful it just wasn't right for me. I will say with a bigger different bed I would stay again.
