We came to San Antonio for my daughters graduation from basic training - I didn't know the first thing about the area or where to stay. I chose this place because it looked really nice and the price was very reasonable. It was also in between the airport and Lackland AFB.
The inside was very nice and the decor was beautiful, but as to be expected obviously "used" - we know you're not going to find a perfect vacation rental and the furniture and decor here was in really good shape compared to others we have been in. We don't have little kids, but we thoroughly enjoyed taking our turns at the little arcade in the "kid" room! LOL. My mom actually stayed in that room and said the mattress on the bottom bunk was very comfortable. (she didn't try the top bunk - she's 75! haha)
The towels are nice quality, and they provide full bottles of shampoo and body wash (bring your own conditioner tho!) Hand soap was in both bathrooms, some laundry detergent was available and dishwasher pods and dish soap. the dinner ware was very nice quality as well. Couch and chairs were comfortable (though the chairs did have some staining on them - again - a lot of ppl are in and out so to be expected).
There is a nice area in back with picnic tables and little grills. This apartment is by the complex's dumpster, which was convenient to throw trash away, but it was kind of smelly out the front door. The neighborhood and surrounding area was a little run down, but we weren't scared or anything - we spoke to some of the neighbors and people around the area (fast food places, gas stations etc) and they all seemed very nice. Nothing stood out to make us concerned about our safety.
We were in close proximity to a lot of fast food (whataburger is literally a few streets away!) gas stations and the highway. Downtown was only about 12-15 minutes away and the Riverwalk was beautiful! Highly recommend going there. The mall is clean and full of stores and little shops as well as restaurants, an aquarium, movie theater etc. so lots to do there. We ate at Margaritaville on the patio area right by the riverwalk which was nice!
We loved the convenience of where the apartment was located! The owner is really nice and friendly. We liked having the door code instead of having to keep track of a key. The smart TV was great to have as well.
Overall, a great experience in San Antonio and at our VRBO!
