Note: These devices only record when motion activated and recordings are saved in cloud storage for 60 days. We monitor cameras upon check-in (or guest arrival), check-out (or guest departure) and when there is an issue or complaint.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property. There is parking for up to 2 vehicles depending on their size. The bus stop is just 3 blocks away. Uber and Lyft are also available.
There are 2 utility closets, one in the primary bath and another in the kitchen that have locks and are not accessible to guests.

The Neighborhood:
Located just east from Downtown San Antonio, Jefferson Heights is undergoing revitalization and is an up-and-coming area. As a Historic inner city neighborhood, you will be close to everything. If you are a Foodie, the East side is a great place to be! From the finest Pastrami sandwiches, to the Freshest wood oven baked Pizza, and the tastiest Breakfast Tacos made from scratch, there will be something to satisfy your palate.

Other Things to Note:
This house is not child proof and may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. However, we would love to host your younger guests as well. We also provide one pack-n-play with a travel mattress for infants or toddlers under the age of 2, or children under 30 pounds and under 35 inches. It may not be suitable for infants under 3 months old or under 15 pounds because it does not contain a newborn bassinet. Parents or caregivers are advised to take precautions to keep their children safe while on the property.

We do live in our home on a part-time basis. Our family suffers from allergies and this is a pet or animal-free and smoke-free house. Unfortunately, we are not able to host guests with pets or animals of any kind. If you travel with pets, service animals and/or emotional support pets, please choose a different property. There are many other listings to choose from in the area. Thank you for understanding.

Our smart thermostat will shut off when doors and windows are left open for extended periods of time to conserve energy.
***Please keep the doors and windows shut.***
2022 marked one of the hottest Summers on record! On 100+ degree days, the HVAC will not cool the house below 75-77 degrees. It will cool to 70 degrees in the evening (after dark).
During the Summer, do not set the thermostat below 72 degrees during the daytime or 70 degrees in the evening to prevent overwhelming the HVAC and for energy efficiency.
During the Winter, do not set above 77 degrees.

Interaction with Guests:
I will interact with the guests as much or as little as they are comfortable with. I am available for questions via text, phone, or message at any time.

Great place to stay close to San Antonio sights

The property was exactly as described in VRBO. The location was close (10-15 minutes) from most San Antonio attractions. It was very clean and obviously refurbished in this neighborhood that is transitioning from poverty and being gentrified.

Instagram Ready!

This is the cutest house and provided great backgrounds for my teenage girls to take pics, (always a plus to have the teenage girls happy). It was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We washed clothes, cooked big brunches, watched Netflix and Roku. The positives about this home is the decor, just precious! They had EVERYTHING from toiletries, laundry supplies, dishwasher pods, paper towels, trash bags, coffee with creamers and sweeteners. We did not have to run to the store for any household items. There is a smart TV in every room, comfortable beds, lots of hangers, extra blankets, seriously they had it all! The downtown area in general and this neighborhood is not nice, but we didn't have any issues. It is super convenient with a grocery store and Walgreens down the street. Is close to the Riverwalk, Alamo, Market Square, and Ft Sam Houston, the reason for the trip to attend the Army officer graduation of our son. If we return to SA I would stay there again, no hesitation.

This home was spotless, adorable, and exactly as pictured. The unique charm of the space created a relaxing atmosphere, and every detail was cute and thoughtful. From start to finish, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a clean, cozy, and uniquely charming spot, this is it! Hosts were fast with communication and very nice too :)
