From the very beginning after we booked, Rose was helpful and proactive with communication. We indicated that we were bringing an infant on the trip and Rose contacted us to see if we wanted her to have a pack n play and high chair available. On arrival, the pack n play was all set up already in the living room. Check in and access to the house was super easy and convienient and the house was beautiful, well furnished and clean. The outdoor sitting area in the back yard was very nice. The house was cozy and perfect for the four of us plus an infant and it was in the perfect location that allowed us to easily get to all of the locations that we wished to visit in San Antonio. Couldn't have asked for a better or more responsive host. Thank you!

Rose's cottage was perfect. She is a great hostess and we were so happy we stayed there. My son was graduating from medic school in the army and she even got him a Congratulations cake for him! She made us feel at home and we definitely will be back!

We thought it was great value for money. Location is convenient to all things that we needed to access. The place was comfortable, cool, and had great spaces to spill out but still enjoy each other’s company. Thanks for everything, Rose and Fam!

What a cute and cozy cottage. The cottage was the perfect size for our party of 5. The decor and the added touches made it feel like home. We were close to so many fabulous restaurants. We frequented the Pearl quite a bit and had a few meals in the area. It’s only a 6 min drive or 25 min walk from the cottage and has access to the Riverwalk. We did a lot on this trip, including Sea World and Natural Bridge Caverns. I highly recommended this Airbnb for your next stay in San Antonio. Rose was an amazing host!
